Jeesh…don’t get me started… This has been a MAJOR peeve of mine for the past few years… We’ve got these twenty-something nitwits making movies out of recycled tv shows that were old when I was a kid, and now my kids thinks it’s something new… I’m waiting for the movie version of _Daktari_, starring Samuel A. Jackson. ---

You guys are forgetting an entire field of musical theater. Remember “Nixon in China?” You don’t? Well, trust me; it happened. Coming soon: “Arafat in Ramallah.” “Don’t cry for me, Colin Powell, The truth is I need a shower I’m plotting revenge 'gainst Ariel Sharon Give him this package Please just don’t shake it.” ---

I’m sitting here… Nice and full after a yummy mexican lunch at papacitos… And I can’t get the mental image of Christopher Walken as the lead in Harry Potter: The Muscial. I was channel surfing and caught the last half of him in a disney music video. I almost shat myself. ---

“Purple Rain = The Musical!” …and Lamia, you can’t have Iggy until he’s finished with the first season of “The Final Days of Sodom and Gomorrah - The Musical.” He plays the part of the avenging cuckold. ---

My sincere hope is that this idiot gets so inundated by original, well written scripts from all of us struggling writers out here that she is suffocated in a pile of black ink and Hewlitt Packard printer paper. EAT IT BITCH… EAT IT. BWAHAHAHAHAA… ahem. Of course…I don’t write musicals. I think that coming up with music out of ones head is a really tall order. ---

Since “The Producers” was so successful on Broadway, it’s only a matter of time before more Third Reichian themes are produced. My nominations: _“The Man In The Glass Booth”_, with Ben Vereen in the role made famous by Maximilian Schell. or _“Judgment at Nuremberg”._ ---

\*\* Garp \*\* the musical. This has been proposed several times. How they will do the famous accident scene is anyone’s guess. Of course, that leads to \*\* The Bobbits \*\*. Broadway can really hack them off…er, up. ---

I was going to suggest _Jack the Ripper: The Musical!_, but my friend told me that there’s already a real Jack the Ripper musical. Damn.
