All right.  That does it. I am officially calling bullshit on the entire Broadway institution, as I’ve just discovered plans to unveil Sleepless in Seattle, the Musical in early 2010. Before we get into the nitty gritty, let me set a few ground rules. Instructions are as follows:

1. Make a face indicative of great displeasure with the item in question. Remember, bullshit may be called on anything under the sun – person, object, philosophy, social convention, etc.

2. Literally call the bullshit – you can holler “BULLSHIT!” or just say it firmly. This may be accompanied by pointing to indicate the offending item.

3. Give it a thumb down, just in case there is anyone about that might mistake your meaning.

I don’t even want to talk much about the specifics of the Sleepless in Seattle project, which can be found here for any curious and masochistic parties. I simply want to go on record and wage war against the industry once and for all. No more pussyfooting around. 

I know, I know, making fun of Broadway’s complete lack of originality and disrespect for timeliness lends for an incredibly pathetic target in these trying times, but I’ve had about enough of this crap to last a lifetime. I mean, it’s only been a few days since SpiderMan, the Musical was announced, and I’m afraid my poor heart just can’t take the stress any longer. I feel as if I’m losing all attachment to reality, as a small part of me dies every time I hear about this sort of thing.  

In a last ditch effort to retain my sanity, I propose a game. I implore all readers to leave comments in this post, listing several other inappropriate movie/musical suggestions.  Let your ”imagination” run wild! I’ll begin:

Harold & Maude
Flight of the Navigator
Silence of the Lambs (actually, I might let this one slide if it could bring Q Lazzarus out of obscurity)
The Seventh Seal
Schindler’s List
Terminator
Videodrome
Spy Kids
The Toxic Avenger (oh, nevermind)

Of course, this post runs the risk of alerting the Broadway idea pool of potential untapped resources. Then again, should that be the case, I’ll seek some solace in the fact that you heard it here first.
