The mention of "Things to Come" has brought to mind a "bad" Sci-Fi (I
normally would say SF, but I don't think that this one deserves the
class associated with the difference) MUSICAL, but unfortunately the
name currently escapes me.  The plot was about a sleeper who went from
the thiries or forties to the 21st century.  The music was all very
hokey, the singing was bad, and you could always tell when a song was
coming (obvious intros).  It was shown a couple of years ago at the MIT
Science Fiction Marathon, and after a while when a song would start the
audience would scream "don't sing!".  The students showing the movie
eventually got into the spirit, and shut off the speaker or played rock
music whenever a song started.  It was loads of fun, especially at three
in the morning!
