We were always skeptical about the potential success of a High Fidelity musical. (You can’t expect a good book to turn into a good movie AND into a good Broadway show). And anyway, after what happened with the Bob Dylan/Twyla Tharp thing, we’re really wary of any neon-lit, rock-related projects. In fact, we’ve considered nominating one staff member as the go-to musical attendee. That way we only ever have one corrupted party in the office at a time.
Now that the reviews for High Fidelity have proven to be so discouraging, we’re totally sending him. Then we’re all going to collectively review his notes and create a list of Five Movies Sure to Be Bad Musicals. We’re thinking Jaws goes on that list (”da-dum” need not be accompanied by lyrics) as does The Big Lebowski (imagine the inevitable, falsetto-sung “The Dude Abides” number) and The Silence of the Lambs (though that scene where Bill applies makeup while listening to “Goodbye Horses” by Q Lazzarus could be cool in a depraved way). Which movies do you think would make the worst musicals?
