Hell, I LOVE XANADU. I think it's one of the greatest movies ever made. I am not even kidding.



But am I the only one that finds it amazing that the same guy who directed that movie also gives us--twenty years later--a sober, probing, hard-hitting documentary about the farce that is FOX NEWS, and is about to come out with another one about Iraqscam?!

"A place where nobody dared to go
The love that we came to know
They call it Xanadu..."

5. Yep, the Tubes were in Xanadu
And I have the DVD of their outing with Gil Fisher. Hilarious.

And drink the milk of paradise.

3. Yes, he is the same guy.
From:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0339254/

Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism (2004) (V)

Uncovered: The Whole Truth About the Iraq War (2003)

Steal This Movie (2000)

Xanadu (1980)

I don't see what's the big deal, Xanadu is a good movie, (IMO,) and I like it.

Besides, it's been 24 years, I'd say his film-making is improving.

6. Not only that, Xanadu was produced by Joel Silver.
