Drinking Song from Just Imagine (1930)

haha cool

[tubeindividual]

oh thanks. Am not familiar with (am an old person) the current fad street lingos. But do know in a few years, if not sooner, what is considered clever and novel today will be thought of as ridiculous. Just as at one time to wear a baseball cap backwards you were considered an imbécile, while today is so fashionable among the street crowd. And so too with the lingo.

They are aeroplane pilots getting reading for their big war mission in the morning. They will all take to the skies with hangovers? No wonder they missed all the targets.

Would not say the movie "was shit" however, as stated by the person (obviously a teenager) above.

OK, when someone says something "is shit", that is what you rationalized, it is of inferior quality.

Sycorax, however, was complimenting the film, because when he said the film "is the shit", it is an overused urban-slang expression of enjoyment of an object or event.

This phrase most closely resembles someone being the "cock of the walk" or "the man" (i.e. he's the man/he's the shit).

i like it!

more 30s era sci fi please.

[sycorax]

But they're drinking sarsaparilla! (Prohibition still in effect in 1930, you know)

[smurfswacker]

true! What struck me as contradictory was that a big running gag in the film is that people in the future get drunk by taking pills (prohibition of liquor is still in effect in the future, too). Why would people in such a society care for drinking songs? I'd expect them to sit there banging pills on the table.

[AmusedChild]

Heh. Or maybe they were drinking sarsaparilla spiked by hooch? People got creative during Prohibition! (I wonder if the number of drinking songs in movies went up during Prohibition?)

Cinema's first all non-dancing dinner table production number! Thanks for posting

[Kattah]

Thanks for posting this! My grandma's been telling me about this movie. Glad I found something.

[advancedatheist]

This wouldn't look out of place in "The Producers," along with "Springtime for Hitler."
