It's no "Ben-Hur,"* but it's worth a look . . .

Josh, you haven't seen it yet? I would think it's right up your alley. It's a totally outrageous, satirical, in your face movie for sure. I went with some friends to see it when it came out and we never laughed so hard at a movie in years. If you knew the folks I went with you probably wouldn't think that a sometimes juvenile, offensive by design movie like this would be to their liking as a couple are medical doctors/research scientists, a couple are IT gurus of the highest order and yet we all loved it. Of course we're all a bunch of intellectual renegades so you have to take that into consideration!
Anyway, most of the songs are hilarious spoofs of songs or styles of songs we've come to love, or loath in this case. And of course I love the puppet shows of Gerry Anderson and they spoof some of the things from those shows such as the inability to make them walk convincingly. It very much goes the Monty Python route in being an equal opportunity offender. It attacks the right equally as much as the left. Give it a spin, it's a perverse delight, although comedy is a very subjective thing.

Now if only some label would/could release Shaiman's score (at least about sixty minutes recorded), I'd be happy. And then move on to his other tossed scores.
