On the theory (well, it's more than a theory) that nothing is too tasteless for the American movie-going public, Howard Stern's The Adventures of Fartman may finally be headed for the screen. Stern, who knows a thing or two about bad taste, created the character of Clyde Flatiron, a tabloid reporter who survives an attempted poisoning by the mob and finds that its side effect -- chronic, devastating flatulence -- makes a handy weapon for literally blowing away the bad guys. The screenwriter for this epic, J.F. Lawton (Pretty Woman), interviewed by Daily Variety, actually likened his script about unrequited love to an updated Casablanca. Louie, this looks like the beginning of really stupid movie.
