It's been 20 years since Tim Burton's Batman was released? Seriously?
Prince's soundtrack was the shit, and you know it.

Ain't no particular kind I'm more compatible with
Here's the perfect post-Valentine's story
io9 - Kissing To Be Clever, Preserved Forever
So, if I'm understanding this correctly, the couples were asked to kiss with a mouth full of goop? That hideous green stuff that the orthodontist uses to make a mold of your teeth?

Nice try, but it could be so much worse
Scientific Attempt To Create Most Annoying Song Ever | Wired.com
As bad as it is, it's no Walking on Sunshine. Or We Built This City. Or The Conga Song. If you want to hear the sound of angels weeping, just clickie on the links.
An online poll conducted in the '90s set Vitaly Komar, Alex Melamid and David Soldier on a quest to create the most annoying song ever. After gathering data about people's least favorite music and lyrical subjects, they did the unthinkable: they combined them into a single monstrosity, specifically engineered to sound unpleasant to the maximum percentage of listeners.
The first 2 minutes aren't so bad. I made to about minute 7 before I had had enough. The clip runs 14 minutes in toto.

Shamon! Thriller a Broadway musical?
UPDATE: io9 is reporting (via the Chicago Tribune) that the Nederlanders are based in Chicago, so any production that does happen will likely first be staged there. Reason #397 to love the city of big shoulders.
This has the potential to be the most awesomely awesome awesomeness that ever awesomed ... or fantastically, hideously, soul shreddingly bad.

NEW YORK (AP) — "Thriller" a Broadway musical?
Producer James L. Nederlander says he has acquired the rights for a stage version of Michael Jackson's iconic music-video spoof of horror films. The show will include songs from two of the pop king's best-selling albums, "Thriller" and "Off the Wall."
"The Nederlanders and Michael Jackson represent live theater and musical excellence, so let the music begin," Tohme Tohme, a spokesman for Jackson, said Monday in a statement.
"I love the idea of making 'Thriller' a musical. Girl meets boy, they fall in love, boy has big secret, now what?" said Nederlander, head of the company that owns nine Broadway theaters.
No word yet on who will write the book for the show or what songs will be included in the production, or who will direct and choreograph.
His bride must be so proud.
