Pitch of the Day: ‘My Way: Killer Karaoke’
Feb 9, 2010 Author: Christopher Campbell | Filed under: Short News
I know some people who are crazy for karaoke, but I can't imagine any of them going homicidal over the pastime. Not like the half-dozen or more people in the Philippines who've murdered fellow singers as part of a decade-long crime trend dubbed the "My Way Killings." A popular New York Times article reports on the killings, which are based around the controversy of a single song, Paul Anka/Frank Sinatra's "My Way," and now I'd love to be exposed more to this world of machismo-based karaoke. So moviemakers, get to work on...My Way: Killer Karaoke
The title/subtitle combo fits best with a documentary, and really the story would best be told in the non-fiction format. I guess I wouldn't mind a minimal, realist Filipino drama, particularly one directed by Brillante Mendoza (Serbis; Kinatay). Yet for the full details, including the history of the crimes and responses from all kinds of Filipinos, from police to men who fight over karaoke to outsider perspectives, I think a doc is the best method.

One Response for "Pitch of the Day: ‘My Way: Killer Karaoke’"
although i do karaoke and not all the performances are great i cant say i have ever sat there wishing someone dead because of their singing, i’ve wished them off the stage but taking someones life over their singing?????? How can it be that singing a certain karaoke songs would get you killed?
the x factor judges have to sit through hours of potentially bad auditions and haven’t attacked anyone, well it’s not been reported if they have so really if this is happening surely it would be connected to a gang initiation or something more sinister than just mob culture, alcohol and a mic hog.
