Wow, that's fast!

So Heather and I were listening to Cat's Pyjamas, and it reminded me of Bugsy Malone:





It's always hilarious to see child actors singing in deep adult voices. Both of these videos are pretty hilarious/creepy, the second being slightly more homoerotic (I dunno, maybe not, but there's a lot of nudity and the kid holding the punch bag who says "Wow, that's fast!" is pretty damn camp). I'm always scared to admit that I like this film, because there's clearly some pretty dodgy stuff in there, but it was part of my childhood, so that makes it OK.

In fact, it went beyond childhood, into teenage years, because for some reason they used to show us this film all the time in class... Pretty much anytime a teacher was sick, or it was the end of term, or whoever was taking the class just couldn't be bothered, or if it was Social Education, this film got put on. This and About a Boy, which somehow makes a lot more sense than Bugsy Malone. At least About a Boy has a message of tolerance, and Hugh Grant is pretty family friendly, but Bugsy Malone is just kind of bizarre.

Also, I wrote a couple of poems again tonight, so that's good. If they don't get used in my portfolio, I'll post them, or I'll post them once I'm past the suspicion of plagiarism stage.

Anyway, second post of the night so I'm sure that's quite enough.

Smell ya later!
