Hairspray last night with SFMoviebears.com. Just me and a few friends. Congrats, Dave, on a successful outing!
Does John Travolta ever play anything but John Travolta? I mean, honestly, he was just gawd-awful, and an insult to the memory of Divine and the honor of Harvey Feirstein. At least they could have gotten a fat actor to play the part. But, even after my disgust with him, I emptied my cup and still managed to eek out a small amount of pleasure from his terrible performance as Edna Turnbladt. The rest of the cast ranged from good to amazing otherwise, and the adaptation of the musical made sense for the medium of film. I do wish they had done “Mama, I’m a Big Girl Now” in the movie instead of at the ending credits, but I’m glad they didn’t leave it out.
Scotty-dog was supposed to be at the movie, but his mom got the biopsy results back last night, and it’s cancer, so he wisely opted to stay with her last night. So after the movie, I walked home and put my folded laundry away and went to bed.
