Skidoo - Turner Movie Classics - 2:00 AM Tonight

Does anybody get the movie channel Turner Movie Classics? I don't think we have it. Tonight at 2:00 AM they are airing Skidoo the rarely seen Otto Preminger film from 1968. I've never seen it but I am aware of it because the music is done by Harry Nilsson and he has an album of the same name.

I don't believe it is supposed to be very good, in fact, I believe it was a huge bomb. But look at some of the cast: Jackie Gleason, Tony Bank, Carol Channing, Frankie Avalon, Burgess Meredith, Cesar Romero, Mickey Rooney, and Groucho Marx as God.

If you've got TCM and a way to record this, please do. I'll give ya a quarter.

Wow, even Netflix doesn't have it! I have the cheapest digital cable, so I'm out. Sounds like a fun one to watch, though.

I own it, duh. You can borrow it, yo. Maybe I can come over and watch it with all.

Yeah, it's so bad, GOOD.

Harry even has a lil' role in it. My favorite besides him: Austin Pendleton.

Of course I have this. Why didn't you just ask me?
