4. The Abyss
On Film: Jim Cameron’s undersea epic sees rough-and-tumble civilian diving team tasked with locating a downed nuclear submarine.
Turns out the chasm they’re exploring is also home to a powerful alien aquatic species none too happy with the way mankind has been screwing with the world.
On Stage: Cameron insists on being involved at every level, building entirely new technology that will allow the entire auditorium to flood at a moment’s notice.
Sadly, his technical perfection means that the first night ends somewhat soggily when the place fills up within seconds resulting the loss of the entire audience.
Likely Lyric: “We have stood along the sidelines, we have watched you foul this world. But now we cannot stand it, cannot wait one minute more, we’ll sink your little cities from our comfy ocean floor.”

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).
