Tommy would you shut up?

I was up early this morning, around 4.30 AM, and I turned on the Who's 1975 film version of "Tommy". I saw it once about 15-20 years ago, and though I have no definite critical memory of it, I had no desire to ever see it again. After about 20 minutes this morning it all came back in a blur of baked beans and chocolate sauce. What a mess. I am convinced everyone involved was either drunk or stoned or high. I guess you expect a certain level of camp from Ken Russell, but Jack Nicholson "singing" is too much.
