    I've only seen the "rave" scene in The Matrix Reloaded in "Fast Forward".

    Brilliant. I'd totally put on my dancing shoes for that.

    Still no match for Busby Berkley, though.

    I think Keanu missed his calling as a silent film star, or possibly one of those early kinematoscopes.

    You're right Annalee, that dance scene from Gold Diggers IS psychotic... especially when she sings in pig latin.

    @Anekanta - killed by a cacodemon: As noted, it's good old-fashioned Pig Latin which was inexplicably, ridiculously popular back in HPL's day, and she did indeed practice it for hours. OTOH, even at that tender age, she was of course the tremendously-talented-yet-often-underrated Ginger Rogers, and so probably nailed it perfectly on the first take...

    By very definition, anything is better as a musical.

    I have to admit, "The Matrix" should be up-tempo and could have used more 80's/90's R/B divas. Maybe a subtle recast with Patti LaBelle as Oracle, Deborah Cox as Trinity, that sort of thing.

    The Thunderpussy remix of the CD will make a MINT on the dance circuit.

    @mst3k4ever: As long as it doesn't jump the shark before my own Troilus and Cressida and Crab People" comes out, it's okay. Plus,it's such a great way to be a writer without actually doing much writing.

    As a writing exercise this is kind of interesting.

    As fiction I might actually want to ready though, not so much.

    So okay, P&P&Z sold disgustingly well. There's always the hardcore Janeites and zombie fans, they were a given. Lots of casual readers bought it just for the novelty. Does anyone think sea monsters are a big enough draw to ensure the same success for this thing?

    @OW-Holmes--Upset with Polling: The two styles clash too much. Tentacle face on the cover will probably attract Mythos devotees.
    My queasiness is abetted with the knowledge that this stuff Quirk is doing will go the way of the Pet Rock or the singing plastic fish.

    Have you ever been romantically involved with someone who turned out to be a sea witch?

    Are we talking metaphorically? If so, yes.

    If not, yes.

    @NerD!!! - R.O.A.C.H.: I'd have to say no - to the romantically bit.

    It was simply wild, uninhibited cross-subspecies sex.

    Seaweed leaves a nasty rash, FYI.
