Jesus Christ Super(er)star
Hey y’all,
Don sent this in for your viewing pleasure (I don’t know what his excuse for terminal web-surfing is; he is gainfully employed).
It is Jesus, the Musical (I thought they already did that). Personally I think it should be called simply, JESUS! (then just throw in some jazz hands).
Click here to see the light (opera).
Thanks Don (BTW donaldritchie.com has been updated but beware, you’ll never leave, trust me!).

I think it nicely summarises a neo-classical conception of Christianity: the essential "I will survive" mantra suggests not just the resurrection, but the continued existence of one's immortal soul; the street-dancing garners the attention and awareness of the general public (mirroring the need to proselytise); the adult-diaper metaphorically conveys that, like a comfortable "Depends" undergarment, the love of Christ will save us from whatever unfortunate 'accidents' life may send our way, and indeed, the final 'crucifixion' of our Lord and Saviour by a Bus (red i.e. the devil) is a shamelessly obvious comment upon the need to abandon our reliance upon oil (and hence, stop supplying the infidel heathens with wealth) and bring back the humble donkey as a means of public transportation.
Clearly the only reason why this was not nominated for Best short film Oscar, is due to a Semitic conspiracy.
Amen.
