Nugget

so from time to time i like to bring to light the little nuggets of visual arts perfection which definitely do not abound in our pop culture world. One i have spoken about before, but i will refresh your memory. "Body Double" -a lameass eighties movie, only notable because a young melanie griffith plays a porn star (Holly Body-hence the cheesy name), and for one other interesting tidbit , which i consider a "nugget". The main character is an actor in LA who gets tangled up in a murder and decides to play detective. To this end, he agrees to perform in a porn (apparently anyone can get in) to get close to Holly Body. As filming begins he enters a building decorated in a Rave like fashion and is led around to Relax playing loudly in the soundtrack. As he gets to the rather large room where he will perform (for a rather large audience) they pan around and show FUCKING FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD actually playing the song music video style for the movie. I sware to god it made the whole fucking movie worth it. "Cold Hearted Snake"-yes i am talking about the Paula Abdul video. While we all know her musical talents are laughable, the video also features her doing what she is actually trained for- dancing. Her and a small cast perform a verbatim rendition of a number called "take off with me" which is actually from the musical "all that jazz" by tortured and celebrated coreographer Bob Fosse. That particular movie tied with apocolypse now in 1979 for the canne festival grand prize. The coreography itself is quite suggestive in a very cool, non rap video way, and the modern costumes and almost not lame song make it a very fucking cool video that still gives me chills. You gotta admit she's a kickass dancer. PS christina aguilera's video "what a girl wants" and "thriller" also featured moves, but not col like this.
