"Get Crazy" on New Year's Eve!

Well, it's that time of the year again. You can either go out to some bar, party or gala...or, crack open a cold one and watch TV. If you decide on the latter, THIS is hosting the ultimate New Year's Eve party tonight with a presentation of "Get Crazy."

This 1983 cult classic is a great party movie. The plot focuses on rock promoter Max Wolfe (Allen Garfield) -- kind of a Bill Graham-type figure -- who is hosting a blowout NYE concert at his Saturn Theater. Threatening the festivties is corporate mogul Colin Beverly (Ed Begley Jr.). In spite of any challenges, the show must go on. Almost all genres are represented: punk from the crazed Piggy (Lee Ving from Fear), blues from King Blues, rock from Reggie Wanker (Malcolm McDowell) and flower power from Captain Cloud (the Turtles' Howard Kaylan). Other musicians rounding out the cast are Lou Reed, Fabian, Bobby Sherman and Doors drummer John Densmore. Who would have ever thought these guys would appear in a movie together???

There is a very good chance that some classic scenes will be cut from this broadcast version of the movie including the robot pusher and a walking-talking joint.

It's directed by Allan Arkush, the genius behind "Rock n' Roll High School." Enjoy!
