<\/a>What would sexy Jesus do? <\/p>\n

Put on a play! And not just any play, but Hamlet 2<\/a>, a Homer Simpson-esque sequel to the great tragedy featuring time travel, music and Staying Alive<\/em> fog machine dancing.<\/p>\n

Look, summer is winding down. You’ve seen the Bat Man, you’ve shopped at Buy N Large, you’ve met your Waterloo, you’ve ignored that X file on your desk, you wept like a child at their mother’s death bed as Indy watched the UFO leave South America (Why!!? WHY???). The excitement is winding down. What’s to do now?<\/p>\n

The trailer alone had me laughing more than any trailer (or movie…?) I’ve seen so far this year. No surprise, really: it has Catherine Keener finally getting work; a cameo from Amy Poehler; a title card that proudly announces it’s from the writers of South Park (songs, hopefully!); Steve Coogan, who is poised to be the next indy Brit break out, Ed Broadbent-style, on US soil; The Gay Men’s Chorus of Tuscon; and a “needle across the record screech” moment: “reintroducing Elizabeth Shue as Elizabeth Shue”, who has actually been working, you just haven’t seen anything she’s done since Hollow Man<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Hell, any excuse to see Jesus dance and hopefully get SharkBoy to stop singing Hairspray<\/em> songs around the house, and I’m there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
