EUPHIE #6: THE MOVIE IN MY MIND

THE MOVIE IN MY MIND[Not Always Brokeback Mountain]

Definition:  totes popular phrase.  Derived from Boublil-Schonberg's classic lyric in Miss Saigon..... duh;  sung by fierce Gigi Von Strippers on various theatrical stages and by various Gigi Von Drag Queens at Splash.  Re-defined to mean "the way I see it". 


Usage:  Most typically used by people of power, like serious power.  Most appropriate when describing your creative process and/or astrological predictions.


Gigi Von Tragic

Example A.  (Personal Quote)
"This is the worst birthday party ever.  I said I wanted strippers not go-gos!  This was not the movie in my mind."

Example B.  (Question)

ROOMIE:  Goddammit.  Do you want to order Chinese or Indian?
ENRICO:  The movie in my mind is telling me the Ritz.
ROOMIE:  The what?!  I thought you said you wanted to stay in!
ENRICO:  Ritz! Ritz! Ritz! RITZ!!! RIIIIIIITTTTTZZZZZ!!!
ROOMIE:  Why are you yelling?
ENRICO:  Bored. 


Example C.  (Non-Possessive)

"You know the movie in her mind was like this awesome Fosse combo but all she could come up with was step kick step kick step kick kick.  Loser."




 
Second 0:24! Engineer drops a second hooker
for good measure.



 Don't believe her Chris!  
She was pregnant before you got to Saigon!
(girls against wall...staging fail.)


Nick Hytner... you gotta get a clue.  
This is the only way to stage this number. 
(also note at the line "gives me dollar bills" the modulation 
to the key of why bother...)
