We were Neo-Retro-Anti-Nostalgia-Punkabilly at the time. Now
we're doing Thrash Minuet and Heavy Harpsicord.

And you didn't even like the title song (Explosions and Tits in
D Flat), the one that played under the final credits? Do you
know how hard it is to find !Kung vocalists trained in Gregorian
Chant who STILL will submit to imitating Frankie Valli while
wearing a coal scuttle on their head? Wasn't easy.

I still say Iggy's portrayal of The Falcon was genius. I mean,
the scene where he beats the meter maid to death with his
prosthetic foot is *priceless*.

Maybe you weren't drunk enough when you watched the film.
