How to be happy: Sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll?
Brendan Fraser, Elizabeth Hurley, Bedazzled (2000) via Radiocklataberna; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly
(Radiocklataberna) In an eliminated scene from the movie Bedazzled (the devil with The Devil) wherein the great Elliot desires to become a famous rockstar and, as in all the movie, that desire also backfires on him! Ha ha ha! (Una escena eliminada de la pelicula BEDAZZLED (Al Diablo con el Diablo) donde el gran Elliot desea ser un Rockero famoso y como en toda la pelicula tabien ese deseo le sale de la chingada! Jajajajajajaa!)
What's the way to happiness, Jim?
Sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll, Bitch!
Who you callin' a...I mean, is that really what you think?
Think?
I mean feel. Is that really what you feel?
It's what the TV, mags, and radio shows say, so I guess.
Well, that is what they say. Let's see what happened to the latest incarnation of Stanley Moon (Bedazzled)as "Elliot" (played by a young, handsome whale named Brendan Fraser) when he tried it.
It's called "Bedazzled" because of the better song the Devil sings to unseat popstar Stanley Moon ("Faust") when he wishes for stardom to win the love of his life, a fact lost on the remakers of the American version, replacing it with the song "Take the Hit" (shown above) then deleting the scene altogether.
The sheer genius of Peter Cook and partner Dudley Moore created a comedy cult classic.
