Finally getting around to watching Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) as I do every Good Friday. I already listened to the soundtrack on vinyl this morning, but a lot of it really does need the visuals.

I mean, the intro is a clear example of how important visual context is to enjoy all the camp that has gone into this.

Just the whole way people get off that bus and fall into their roles. It's beautiful.When listening this morning I was trying to mimic the dance moves as best as I remembered them, but certain numbers just absolutely need the phenomenal dance moves to go along with them.

On the other hand, hearing the instrumental parts that don't stick out as much in the film is an amazing feeling too. The impact of just a fucking piano in these songs.

One of the dance moves I did this morning was absolutely the leaning over then standing up and clapping part the followers do in Heaven On Their Minds

The instrumentals also highlight just how important it is in the Muppet version that Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem are the peanut gallery accompanying band instead of playing any apostles.

The apostles use their hands so dramatically in What's The Buzz because they need to distract themselves from what they did with their hands before finding Jesus. (jacking off. this is a joke about jacking off.)

What really makes Judas a problematic figure is his anti-sex work morality.

"It's not that I object to her profession but she doesn't fit in well with what you teach and say." Yeah, sure buddy.

Jesus is absolutely a manipulative bitch, though.When Peter gives that dirty look to Judas? Yeah, you know that he's going to have lines later in the film.

Ah, the homoeroticism of Caiaphas (insecure top) and Annas (absolutely confident bottom).

...sadly followed by the most heterosexual song of the whole musical.

"Surely you're not saying we have the resources to save the poor from their lot. There will be poor always, pathetically struggling, look at the good things you've got." - this version of Jesus, and also middle class parents.

Judas is literally touched by Jesus in this song and has such an intensely euphoric experience that the heterosexuality he realizes is around him when he lets go breaks his poor heart.

"Hey JC, JC would you die for me?" and suddenly Jesus is questioning whether he actually believes in his own religion.

If I had better dancing skills I would join a cult just so I could dance like the people in Simon the Zealot's song.

There's one balding white guy in this dance number who just looks happy to be there.
