Dear God. I think I have a new favorite movie. Thank you, Skidoo. You're what I was doing when I shoulda been watching the Republican debate.
No, seriously. This is the best movie I've ever seen. Major set-pieces include Jackie Gleason breaking out of prison by heavily dosing (via the acid soaked into his stationary) the entire inmate population (including Mickey Rooney, Peter Lawford, Frank Gorshin, Burgess Meredith, etc.), and a musical extravaganze involving Carol Channing in a sea-admiral's uniform leading a hippy army to storm the ship of a slightly confused, but apparently quite-high, Groucho Marx. I still have no idea what the hell a Skidoo is.
Incidentally, apparently you can book Carol Channing for parties and events. Just for the record, it's not too early to plan for my birthday.
Just sayin'.
