the movie, that is.

I think I'd seen it all the way through before. If not seen, at least heard.

I'd forgotten that the songs to spoken ratio was as low as it is.

I'd forgotten that Triangle Trade came from it - that's a gorgeous song! Anyone ever seen any filks that use it?

Have you seen the restored version with "Cool, Conservative Men" in it?

The one I have says "Restored Director's Cut" and has Cool, Cool Considerate Men in it. Could that be what you're thinking of?

Definitely a very fun movie. K loves it as well.

There are several versions available. The best, hands-down, is the fully restored 12" laser disk version, running time of 180 minutes. They found 16mm prints to restore all but five seconds of the original cut. It's simply amazing.

The one I have says "Restored Director's Cut" and has a run-time of 166 minutes. I would assume that's pretty close.

Yeah, for some reason they didn't reproduce the 12" laser when they did the "restored" DVD, go figure. Having been involved in a production of the play, I can say that the LD is closer to the original script than the DVD.

Actually it's wonderful, but it gave me this wonderful icon so I had to use it.
