What Pop Culture Museum would you like to visit?
With an ABBA museum set to open in Stockholm by 2008(I know a certain Diva who would love to be first on line)and the Stephan Colbert Museum & Gift Shop in Colbert County,I was wondering what other nifty pop culture sensations would make a great basis for a cultural spotlight section. Here's just a few ideas of mine:
The Devil Wears Prada Filmed Fashion Center: Celebrate this hip and stylish movie by gawking at the clothes,jewels and accessories that only rich anorexics can strive to wear and afford. Other exhibits will include a Tribute to Meryl Streep,Guess the Designer,Bitchy Sayings to Ponder and Makeover Magic. Also featured will be other shows and/or films that contribute to the DWP style such as Sex and the City,Ugly Betty and Pretty Woman.
Comic Book Gallery of Rogues: Sure,there are plenty of places that honor such superheroes as Batman,Superman,etc but what about the villians? Those wickedly hard working soulless fiends who give the likes of Wolverine,Green Lantern and even Aquaman a reason to get up and strap on the spandex in the morning? Individual tributes to such legendary evil doers as Lex Luthor,Magneto and The Joker will be prominently displayed as well as Classic Cabals. Walk thru the meeting room of the Legion of Doom,if you dare! Voluntary financial contributions to the Gallery will be collected at gunpoint by the front entrance.
The Museum of Failed Celebrity Marriages:Located in the quickie romance capital of the world,Las Vegas,this shrine to bad choices made while drunk,horny or just looking for some new PR will not only feature such current uncouplings as Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey,Pam Anderson and Kid Rock and America's Sweethearts Britney Spears and K-Fed,but will also showcase the breakdowns of Hollywood Past(an entire wing of the museum is dedicated to the Many Loves of Elizabeth Taylor). Items on display include marriage licenses,divorce decrees,wedding photos,magazine and news paper stories that storyboard every waking moment of the relationship,plus an interactive feature that lets you play Celebrity Matchmaker! Dartboard of potential mates will be moved closer for better aim at visitor's request.
Sequels,Part Two-Electric Boogaloo: While many follow-ups to hit films are given their just desserts,much mockery is shown to those whose only crime is to try and give you more of what you liked in the first place for the fourth or fifth time.We pay respect to such valiant attempts as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II:The Secret of the Ooze(with Vanilla Ice performing his classic theme song,"Ninja Rap"live in person twice a day),Leprechaun 4:In Space and Santa Clause 3:The Escape Clause.
Select showings of key films will be followed up by a Q&A session with one of the partakers of that cinematic creation. Soon to scheduled viewings may include Batman & Robin,with Joel Schumacher,Basic Instinct 2,with Sharon Stone and Leonard,Part Six with Bill Cosby who will gladly recount the plots of the "missing" earlier films.
You so get me. I'm all over that ABBA museum. I need to book my airline tickets today.
