I made a video a few years ago analyzing this song in the context of Bob Fosse's film musicals, and how he edited them rhythmically...check it out!

how about a delightfully tie-dyed freak out session starring Sammy Davis Jr, with featured dancing by (a young) Ben Vereen!

you want an audacious dance sequence that absolutely no one other than Bob Fosse could have choreographed? Might I interest you in "Rich Man's Frug"

I see your energetic, rooftop-set dance sequence in "West Side Story," and I raise you an energetic, rooftop-set dance sequence in "Sweet Charity"

Going to see "Sweet Charity" tonight...one of my favorites!
Yep…that version is bonkers. Too bad because the original Huppertz score is mostly a Dies Irae fever dream in the second act.
Listening to a colleague teaching the Berlioz Symphonie fantastique and waiting for my cue...
Oh man…what a bummer! Did you see his (very brief) cameo in Raimi’s Send Help?
hard agree!
I always thought we'd be cursed for naming our team name after the "blues" but 2019 was a temporary balm in that regard.
And what a bad year for my Blues to be appearing in your notifications!
Make it stop...at least three student papers this week include the word "uniqueness".
At least it's proof that they're not using AI...that's the silver lining.
the guy sitting directly behind me in this screening last night smelled like an unholy combination of Axe body spray and the caramel popcorn that he was eating...I can still smell it in my nostrils 24 hours later.
The Brattle is also showing these really cool "Ultimate Double Features" where a character in the first movie goes to see a film (and the Brattle will show the first movie up until the second begins and then switches back...really cool idea!

Yes, my 16th (!) supercut video with lots of Dies Irae quotations suggested by many of you awesome folks. Probably my favorite quotation ever is included in here...check it out!

This line from Industry’s last ep keeps ringing in my head: “Some here think Americans got bored of having the best lives, so they elected a narcissistic dementiac to detonate it all so that their kids might earn factory workers’ wages building widgets pathetically stamped, ‘Made in America.’”
more like "Bored of Peace" ... is that a thing?
Don’t worry…Hellebuyck’s gonna do it to himself.
can we all agree that 3v3 in any tourney, let alone the Olympics, is hot garbage?
but the trailer keeps dissuading me from wanting to see said film!
((--the vast amount of your new followers is just mind boggling!!--))
I'm not usually this guy, but is that even her???

anyone else watching "Industry"?? Wow, what a fantastic episode last night...keeps getting better each season, each episode!
Of all the sliding disciplines, bobsled seems the safest. You’re enclosed in a giant casket…nothing safer!

My favorite part about this cue is that I asked the composer (Harry Manfredini) why he used the Dies Irae here and not in the previous five films? He said that Jason's "reincarnation" here reminded him of the dead being called from their sepulchres (from the text) and it kind of works perfectly!
