Haute culture that will make me panic, pass out.

We all know that the kids are dropping like flies at Danny Boyle's 127 Hours. Here are some additional pieces of fine art and society that would likely leave me clammy and pale on the floor. Seriously, my heart is pounding.

American Psycho (THE GD FREAKING MUSICAL) on Broadway.

Working on making Patrick Bateman the "headliner of Broadway's bloodiest show" is playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, along with none other than Duncan Sheik composing the score. Aguirre-Sacasa expects the script to be done early this year. Tempting...but hell to the no. Image and story via Popwatch
