I feel the same way about Hairspray, to tell you the truth. The original Jon Waters movie is one of my favourites. I don't know why they had to make it a Broadway musical and then make a movie out of that. With John Travolta, no less! I could bitch about this for days...
I refuse to watch the remake of Hairspray on the grounds that the late great Divine was no doubt turning in his grave at the thought of John Travolta playing his part!
YES! I can sort-of see redoing a film like King Kong when you have the special effects to make it more realistic (though I still prefer the scratchy black and white original), but there is absolutely no reason to fool around with a cult classic. It loses something when it is made over for the masses.
Boo, MTV! and Boo, John Travlota as Edna Turnblad!!!!
That is just so very, very wrong. Leave it alone, you bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!
*snogs madly*
I still haven't forgotten that I owe you a long, rambling post on life in generaly and my thoughts on DW in specific. If I can just find a few seconds without work or kids haunting me ...
