When bad musicals happen to good movies

Someone needs to put a stop to this madness!

The long-anticipated Spider-Man musical, now officially titled Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark, has been given an official Broadway debut date of Feb. 18, 2010.

Even with Julie Taymor’s genius at the helm, I can’t help but feel like this is going to end in disaster. I hope I’m wrong.

And speaking of horrible mistakes:

Fresh off its big win at the Oscars, Slumdog Millionaire is also reportedly being turned into a stage musical. The proceeds will be going toward children living in the actual slums, and while I think that’s a great thing, I just don’t see why a musical has to be the answer.

Couldn’t they just have a bake sale or something?
