Movies to drive you a little buggy  Pickings are slim for cicada
fans who want to see them in starring roles  By Chris Kaltenbach
Sun Movie Critic  May 2, 2004   For a little bug that becomes a
national obsession every 17 years, the cicada hasn't left much
of an impression on America's movie screens.  That's assuredly
strange, given Hollywood's predilection for jumping on any trend
that comes within earshot and milking it for every dollar
possible. There've been movies about the Lambada, Halley's
Comet, valley girls, Jim Jones, roller boogie, ninja turtles,
The Gong Show and Martha Stewart.  But those bizarre insects who
show up seriously en masse every 17 years; who cause the
squeamish to squeam even more than usual at the thought of
squishing a handful of them with every step; who force educated
people to cower in fear as though the sky itself were falling,
moving their spring cookouts indoors and warning their children
to stay inside ...  About those bugs, the movies have said
practically nothing.  Outsid
