Jan 17 2008AM Poster Post: The Fake Plot to 'Mamma Mia!'
In Mamma Mia!, Meryl Streep steals a sorcerer's (Pierce Brosnan) magic boa, the only flamboyant accessory capable of time travel. When it's waved in the air, half of an antiqued wooden portal is opened, allowing Meryl to see into her past. Unfortunately, a rift in the space-time continuum ends up dividing Sweden from pop music, sending the members of ABBA into various alternate futures. Can Meryl get the group back together before pop music's history is irreversibly destroyed? (You can tell this will happen because the cover keeps fading from the ABBA record Meryl carries around, like with the photo in Back to the Future.)

LOL. You forced me to comment. That was pretty funny. I almost thought that was the plotline until I reread the title of the post.

To be honest, I'm really glad musicals are making a comeback. Sure, they involve crap ones like Mama Mia, but they also include some amazingly memorable ones... like Glitter.

As if radio ads for the stage production belting out "Dancing Queen" every half hour weren't enough, now we'll have to contend with at least six months of trailers and tv spots leading up to the release and at least one month afterwards of "OMG #1 MUSICAL COMEDY" every ten minutes. Then the DVD release ... I'm just going to go ahead and not watch tv for a full year. That should make my world right again.
