Why Hath Thou Forsaken Us?

Grease.  Prequels.  Why God?  Why?  As if the Michelle Pfeiffer led sequel wasn’t bad enough?  As if a thousand bad high school drama department versions of the original hadn’t already killed this? Why must we be tested again?

The most damning indictment of humanity is that they may be right.  We are doomed.  And due to shit like this, we probably only have ourselves to blame.

Grease.  A prequel to Grease.  Fucking Grease!

The story is expected to cover how Danny and Sandy first met, leading up to the encounter detailed in the song Summer Nights.  The movie is being scripted by John August.  August is behind the upcoming Aladdin remake due in theatres shortly.

Who cares?  What the hell is this? Why am I even typing this story up?  I have no idea. Maybe I am looking forward to a great cleansing, or some kind of group therapy, in the Disqus below.

In the meantime, let’s at least look at Olivia Newton-John when she was absolutely smoking!
