Make it Stop
I share Jamie Piazza’s psychic pain when I read that they’re actually going to remake Rocky Horror Picture Show. The remake will be done by the original producer, which elicits a certain “Bucket List” quality to the whole idea, only serving to make it much, much worse.
Here’s the thing about it: not to step on anyone’s aging second-childhood fantasies, or anything, but doesn’t anyone that the original was so great because it was so bad? That was the point. Remaking it will only improve on all the things that made it worth watching. That’s not good.
As for Jamie’s request for nominees for the Frankenfurter 2009, go give him some suggestions! I’m getting mine in there right now.

A Tribute to John Lennon
In my Internet wanderings I've just stumbled upon "I Dig a Pygmy: A Tribute to John Lennnon" - a piece of "live musique concrète" whose sound sources consisted entirely of the utterances and recordings of John Lennon and the Beatles. The piece was composed and performed by Paul D. Lehrman, who's works include projects for PBS, the Learning Channel and the Discovery Channel to name a few. You can watch his video performance and read the composition notes . . . More. . . ||
