A game called 10,000 Bullets which is going back on account of being a hybrid of max payne, and devil may cry, but totally boring.

I have Xanadu on VHS too! I don't know why I like it really because it's a horrible movie but for some reason I watch it like every week......maybe it's because I don't have cable anymore....

I don't think Xanadu is a horrible movie at all! It's a musical--musicals are often kind of shallow and glitzy with a head-in-the-clouds mentality. It's all about the singing and the dancing.
What I think sets this one apart is that it features Gene Kelly, and there is that past-meets-present theme going on. Brightly colored early punk rock costumes and bondage imagery, clashing (or is it harmonizing?) with Big Band style. It's not just a little weird--it's REEEEEEAAAAALLLY WEIRD. It's probably the strangest movie to come out of the early 80's, I figure. (Adolfo "Shabba-Doo" Quinones from the "Breakin'" films is one of the featured dancers, and that too is a plus.)

Well, I mainly refer to the acting. The male lead makes rocks look more talented. I used to watch this movie when I was a kid and for years I thought he was Andy Gibb....you know, the little Bee Gee brother....like I said though, it's addictive. The rock-big band merger was a really cool idea.

Well, after watching Michael Beck's performance a couple of times, I'm convinced he is playing a sort of a messed-up, slightly unhinged, unstable artist type. That's why he seems so nervous all the time...character is unhappy internally from the beginning, even before he runs into the Muse character. (I especially like the freaky moment when he quits his job...he goes into work and screams "I'm FIRED!" at his boss. The character is nuttier than a fruitcake!)
And the scariest thing about Horror.com at this moment is that we are having a discussion about the film "Xanadu."
