"Once in a Lifetime" long ago entered the category of Song I Used To Love Before It Got Beaten To A Wallpaper Pulp. But while I was watching television tonight, I discovered that there's a great new context to hear it in: This one.

This time the tune's really beaten to a pulp....

Another film from the drugged-up-and-out radical loon Oliver Stone.
 
He turns the phrase dramatic license into a case for involuntary institutional commitment.

Same as it ever was.

Oh, I have never stopped loving that song, not for a minute.

But that DOES look (and sound) fantastic. Can't wait to see the film!
