Posted: 7/26/06 at 7:10pmIt's not as cheesy as Showgirls, not by a long shot, but I once wondered what a musical version of Boogie Nights would be like.
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Be careful what you wish for, my friends:
From NewYork Mag, by way of Defamer.com:
Joe Eszterhas--who at the peak of his powers in the 1990s single-handedly overturned the image of the meek Hollywood scribe by earning millions for his uncompromising tales of beaver-flashing, psychosexual intrigue--has finally addressed the film that many finger as his undoing. Showgirls was meant to be a titillating, sensational look at the cutthroat world of Las Vegas entertainment; instead, it ended up being one of the most unintentionally hilarious movies of all time, thanks in no small part to Eszterhas' powerful dramatic choices, such as the scene in which Nomi and Cristal discover they are united by their Doggy Chow-eating pasts. According to New York magazine, however, Eszterhas claims to have been in on the joke all along:
"It's a movie that I wish I'd have written differently, and I wish would have been cast differently." Still, he adds, "I never agreed with the notion that this movie was accidentally funny. I think it defies the imagination to think that a line like 'How does it feel not to have anybody comin' on you anymore?' isn't purposely funny. If you have a character named Henrietta Bazoom walking around poppin' her tits out every 30 seconds, that's a darkly humorous moment."
*******To that end, he's planning a musical, with help from the producers of Urinetown, that "celebrates the over-the-top and campy nature of the piece." Naturally, it's to open in Las Vegas.**********

Posted: 9/20/06 at 7:31amI know there was this pathetic knock off last season, but ROAD HOUSE would make a (pun intended) kick ass musical.
