2. The Passion Of The Christ
On Film: Mel Gibson’s blood-splattered stare at the end of Jesus’ life offers a portrait of suffering, sacrifice and death.
Captured by the Romans, he’s led through the streets, whipped, beaten and ultimately crucified.
On Stage: Thanks to a terrifyingly realistic recreation, the first three rows are issued with plastic macs and the warning You Will Get Red On You.
Plus they’re shut down after three shows when Andrew Lloyd Webber sues for the show being too much like Jesus Christ Superstar.
Likely Lyric: “They say you’re the miracle worker, but they’ve all deserted you. Saviour, saviour… Save yourself!”

Yup. Also was thinking the other day that ScarFace would make a great musical.. I like you Tony, you're not a fake or a phony and unlike my misstress you're not skiny and bony You came here on a boat from Cuba You didn't need a wetsuit or a snorkle or scuba, diving suit. And the classic end song.. Say, hello, to my little friend This isn't the start, it is now the eeeeeeeeend. etc. Yeah musical genious me. On a non mad note, Nightmare before Christmas would make a great stage show, why the hell hasn't that happened yet?

You know which of these shouldn't have been a movie? Starship Troopers. I mean, it shouldn't have been a movie in the Paul Verhoven style. It was a great book and would have made a great film, had they makers really cared that much about the story and characters and plotpoints. Poor Robert Heinlein. Has there ever been a decent adaptation of any of his works? I have seen two of his books as films, and got stomache cramps right after watching both of them: Starship Troopers and Puppet Master (Donald Sutherland).
