The Mikado (1987)

The patter song (I've got a little list) is traditionally reworked to be as topical as possible. The book lyrics deliberately leave pauses for the insertion of hack politicians' names (some productions don't "get" this intention on the behalf of Gilbert and sing the fake-out names). The play itself is actually some of the most subversive commentary on the British aristocracy possible for the time, and the setting of Japan actually made it work without pissing too many people off.
One of the great legends of theater involves American troops hijacking the Japanese imperial wardrobe following the war and staging their own version in the imperial palace, which might be one of the more culturally offensive things we've ever done, but, hey, Rape of Nanking makes it look rather trivial, eh? |

I wish Philip Glass would actually score some Ultraman. Fake Philip Glass doesn't quite do it. |

Also, REAL conversation I just had, with a friend who is from Buffalo:
FRIEND: Mark Russell is from Buffalo.
ME: I think you're thinking of Mark Ruffalo.
FRIEND: Maybe I am. |

This is probably the best adaptation I've seen, and I, too, have sat through some high school gymnasium terrors. |

He was a pretty good vampire, until he had a crisis of confidence, and met Brad Pitt, who was a worse vampire, and he felt better after they had a gay vampire baby daughter thingie. |

"You're taking what he said out of context!"
"But, in this instance, taking it out of context maintains the integrity of exactly what it was he was meaning to say."
"Of course, he's a Christian, he says what he means, but YOU'RE TAKING IT OUT OF CONTEXT!" |
