Beach Blanket Bingo

Have you seen this 60s movie? Besides being completly absurd and often hard to follow, it's also pretty catchy. Last year I spent part of the summer at my grandparent's house and taught them ho to watch movies and stuff online.
The first movie my grandpa wanted to watch was his old favorite, Beach Blanket Bingo. This is the opening clip, but you can watch the whole thing on Hulu, if you feel so inclined.
Oh, and check it out, the old man with the fishing pole is Buster Keaton!

This second scene is my other favorite, but mostly because of the dancing. For any of you who have ever seen me at a dance party, it probably looks familiar. See I'm not a bad dancer, I just should have been a teen in the 60s.
Then my flailing would seem commonplace.

oh my gosh. Buster Keaton spoke. I heard Buster Keaton's voice.

Also, Bonehead is creepy and dancing was more fun in the 60s.

Oh Becky this is so funny! Very nostalgic and fun! Frankie and Annette were so fun and clean! Notice the one piece suit on Annette. Word was that Walt Disney didn't want her wearing a two piece. He was protective of her! Sweet.

I haven't watched this yet since I'm at work, but my dad's favorite Musketeer was always Annette. I'm sure I'll feel happy when I watch it. Well at least I'll laugh!
