****************

i don't know, man - i hate musicals. i know burgess was a frustrated composer - 
he said as much in his tract Re:Joyce, but i just don't feel the need to see 
A.C.O. turned into something "other" ... the novel is pretty good, right? and 
the film is really good. i just can't help but think this is ultimately aimed at 
softening the work at some level. from the sounds of the songs on the "trailer" 
here, ew, it just sounds awful, sounds trite, and the work is anything but.
