This story may only interest a couple of us but read it anyway cause that might be you...
If you like The Flaming Lips, Robots, the color Pink (gaaaaay), Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, or Broadway musicals (fagalist?), then this story might interest you.
Apparently Aaron Sorkin, who writes the incredibly awesome show Studio 60 on the Sunset strip, is going to write a Broadway show based on the incredibly awesome Flaming Lips album Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots.
I read this and immediately imagined an awesome Broadway salute to Japanese anime with giant robots and rock music. Basically I imagined FLCL: The Musical (now thats an idea! I should write to the homo who created Cats about this).
Apparently, though, there is going to be some deeper meaning beneath all this craziness. This is the description:
"this girl, the Yoshimi character, is dying of something. And these two guys are battling to come visit her in the hospital. And as one of the boyfriends envisions trying to save the girl, he enters this other dimension where Yoshimi is this Japanese warrior and the pink robots are an incarnation of her disease."
Sounds awesome but not crazy awesome. Seriously, Cats dude, call me. I've got big ideas.
