This week is getting really exciting for GTA 6 fans. A tipster had said, quite a while ago, that we'd get a first look at GTA 6 on October 26. That's only a few days away! But, is this insider's information accurate, or is it just an attempt to gain attention with no proof? Considering there a millions of GTA fans waiting for some kind of news about the upcoming game, every rumor is being treated with great seriousness.
These are the weirdest, most transgressive movie musicals ever made

They sing! They dance! They call God the F-slur!
They’re identical twins who are definitely straight and who under absolutely no circumstances want to bone. They’re the stars of Dicks: The Musical, an acid-brained, NSFW riff on The Parent Trap from Borat director Larry Charles, who apparently will stop at nothing to make the wildest new midnight movie on the scene.
A crudely made, sophomoric musical extravaganza, Dicks: The Musical feels like the answer to an age-old question: “What if Rodgers and Hammerstein got really high and adapted Freddy Got Fingered?” This film has everything: graphic incest, Megan Mullally’s disembodied vagina, and two little gremlins called Sewer Boys who live in a cage and are fed ham directly from Nathan Lane’s mouth, like baby birds.
The audience response to something this consciously weird and transgressive will vary, but it’s difficult not to at least reticently admire a film that brings such wholehearted stupidity and fucked-uppery to the big screen, particularly in the sweet, usually sanitized genre of the movie musical. Its release feels like an appropriate reason to dig into the movie-musical oddities that came before it — the tuners that waded so fully into WTF territory, they’d make even the people behind The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Hedwig and the Angry Inch scratch their heads.
So here’s a list of the strangest, most transgressive movie musicals in cinema history.
Where to watch: Fubo, Apple TV, Prime Video, Google Play, YouTube TV, Vudu
Before dumping a bucket of pig blood on Sissy Spacek in Carrie or introducing us to Al Pacino’s “little friend” in Scarface, Brian De Palma directed this weirdo glam-rock riff on The Phantom of the Opera. Its plot plays out like a sort of Madmagazine movie parody, with a wronged composer disfigured in a record press, and a Faustian bargain involving tunesmith Paul Williams as a Machiavellian record exec. But the real thrust of the 1974 movie is the sheer gonzo chutzpah De Palma injects into nearly every scene. Featuring wonderfully expressionistic costume and production design by Rosanna Norton and Jack Fisk, respectively, the film is a visual smorgasbord — a 1970s Tumblr page festooned in glitter and scored by Williams’ electric tunes. The film’s main theme, “Faust,” could kick “The Music of the Night’s” ass.

In 1975, Ken Russell showered Ann-Margret in an orgasmic bath of baked beans in his film version of The Who’s concept album Tommy. Seven months later, though, he released an even bigger cinematic freak show. Billed as “the film that out-Tommys Tommy,” Lisztomania takes its name from the apparently very real historical term for the feverish fandom
