Det mest berømte klip fra Poul Nesgaard og Thomas Windings børneprogram Op På Ørerne Vi Er Kørende må være den sekvens hvor Winding fortæller Nesgaard om sygdommen dansuenza, der får de sygdomsramte til at danse ukontrollabelt. Sekvensen slutter med at Winding og Nesgaard selv angribes, men man husker det selvfølgelig mest som en god løgnehistorie.
Imidlertid har denne løgnehistorie sin egen kulturhistorie, og er altså slet ikke løgn, med optegnelser om talrige angreb, bare under navnet choreomani. Den angreb tusinder i 14- til 16-hundredetallet, f.eks. under den store danseepidemi i 1518 hvor flere hundrede dansede ukontrollabelt i Strasbourgs gader.
Keanu Reeves is set to star in an upcoming major motion picture based loosely on the life and times of Jesus Christ. "Keanu was hot in 'Little Buddha', we liked the tough sensitive look with a beard in 'The Gift' and after the success of the Matrix franchise we feel he is ready to play The Big Guy" says a studio exec on condition of anonymity.
Tentatively titled 'J-man' the picture will also star Leonardo Di Caprio as The Apostle John - and James Earl Jones will reprise his Star Wars role as The Voice of The Father. The role of Judas is still being cast.
News on the plotline is sketchy so far, but the film will try to revitalize the image of Christ giving a modern spin to some of his more spectacular antics. "We're updating Jesus for the 21st century. We feel a role model like Jesus should be very interesting to a wide audience at this point in time" says our source, citing the war on terrorism and the 911 attacks as background.
"People are looking for a can-do mentality today - and Jesus was very much a can-do person", says the exec.
It is rumoured that the films climactic easter scenes will be shot with alternative endings to avoid any possibility of pre-release story leaks.
