News/Film Review/Film Idea: Cyber-Seduction: The Musical.
Recently, I found out about a film called Cyber-Seduction: His Secret Life. It was a film made for Lifetime television in 2005, which actually manages to break the seemingly sancrosanct formula of "wife, after years of being beaten to a pulp by her husband, leaves him". After managing to obtain a copy, I viewed it and found it to be the relative Reefer Madness of our time, and thus, perfect musical satire material. What will follow may seem like a work of satire, but in fact, the creators are dead serious. In the movie, a 16-year old boy named Justin (played by Jeremy Sumpter) is a great student and his school's star swimmer. One day after making all-state, he goes onto a chat room and finds a link to a webcam run by a student named Monica which leads him on the down slope to pornography and with outsuits like "belly shirt" and "sweater" (FYI: The "porno" in the film consists of women in no scantier clothing than the underwear Susan Sarandon wore in the "Touch-a touch-a touch me" number from Rocky Horror, and doing behavior no more sexual than blowing a kiss.) At one point, his mother (played by Kelly Lynch) looks at her son looking at "porn" through an ajar section of the door (he could have just closed the door) and while doing nothing at first (on the father's advice), when she sees how it is ruining his life (a telltale sign being that he gets third in his next swim meet by half of a body length, and having a fantasty consisting of women in sarongs swimming around him) and seeing how his younger brother gets into it after watching him, she slowly cuts off the Internet supply for the entire house, afterwards he looks at Monica's webcam on the school computer, even when she's sitting two seats away from him. After watching it, I came up with the idea that the film would make a great musical satirizing the film, and the anti-pornography movement in general, especially noting several of the idiosynchracies of the film in the lyrics of the songs, including a song about Justin's addiction to Red Bull climaxing in him chugging an entire can of it and the mother singing a lament about her son only winning third place in the meet.
