Trailer: The "lost" film ROCK'N'ROLL HOTEL (1983) with Judd Nelson and Rachel Sweet

Shot in 1982, this musical flick featuring Nelson, Sweet, Colin Quinn and Dick Shawn (among others) was thought to be lost for years, but has recently turned up, though it's still unavailable on home video in any format.  Read more about it here -- and it looks like a lot of fun.

Evening Entertainment (?): The Residents in WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VILENESS FATS?

Began in 1972, VILENESS FATS was the attempt at an avant-garde film created by music-minded enigma The Residents and Graeme Whifler, the future writer of SONNY BOY.  Portions of the film were shot over the next four years, and while the project was never completed, a version of the footage called WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VILENESS FLATS? has been released to confused audiences.  The results, featuring an original soundtrack and a prologue that vaguely attempts to explain the plot about a pair of twin wrestlers involved with occultism that help a small village, shouldn't come as a particular surprise to anyone unfamilar with The Residents and should completely flummox anyone else.  Recommended!

Evening Entertainment: Celebrate Charles Schultz's birthday with 1985's YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN

Sure, there's a Peanuts Thanksgiving special to watch, but why not take a look at one of the more obscure TV specials based on Charles Schultz's beloved characters?  This 50-minute special originally aired in November of 1985 is an animated (and shortened) adaptation of the 1967 musical that starred Gary Burghoff (!) in its initial off-Broadway run.  Snoopy has a narrated voice, which is a bit distracting, but as an adaptation of the stage musical, it makes sense.

Watch This Thing - "Bad" people turn "good" in the bizarre 1984 musical number "I Want It All"

Good morning! Today's the day for you! You're going to get it all! Because you want it all, just like this duo from Ulli (THE BOOGEYMAN) Lommel's insane, mostly-forgotten 1984 musical STRANGERS IN PARADISE. Good thing the brainwashing they go through will turn them into nice, traditional folk.

Watch This Thing - You Cannot Fart Around With Love

From Fredric Hobbs's bizarro sexploitation nervous breakdown musical ROSELAND (1971) comes this musical number featuring a very enthusiastic bearded man (Adam, played by Kerrigan Prescott) singing a universal truth. (The rest of the film is in color, and you can read more about it here, though this link is NSFW -- the video below isn't.)
