So guess who saw Hairspray today! Yeah, that would be me. My mom and I caught the movie this afternoon.

Previews:

Stardust-Looks like a cross between Willow and Hocus Pocus. All I could think the entire time while I watched it was "WTF Robert DeNiro?"

Across the Universe-You know, it's been too long since we've had a rock and roll acid trippy

Yahoo!! Thank you for reviewing this! I would've gone to see it regardless, though, because I've been waiting for this for a long time.

and I do wish they had kept in the "Ever since we first saw the sun, it seems Von Tussle girls are always trying to please someone" part of You can't Stop the Beat, though.

Can Brittany Snow sing? The Amber/Velma segment in "YCStB" is one of my favorite parts -- I remember almost falling over the first time I heard it because I was thinking how on Earth LBB and Linda Hart could belt that high consistently.

Was the exclusion of "Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now" from the actual film plot that noticeable? I know it's on the soundtrack with MJW, Rikki, and Nikki.

Actually, she does sing one song during a montage of sorts and she sounds pretty good. Yeah, I love the Amber/Velma part! I have a weakness for mean characters becoming good.

As for Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now, it really wasn't noticable. I love the song, but I don't think the film really suffered from cutting it out.

Definitely go see it! I think it's one of the better stage to screen transitions in the past years (though it started out as as film and, therefore, lends itself well to film).

Urgh, I have qualms with 'Across the Universe.'

For one, the main character's name is Jude. Honestly. Try a little harder, guys. At least go with Julian (maybe one of the other characters could call him Jude) if you wanna play out 'Hey Jude.' You know, for a song written about John's son, they sure do use it a lot to apply to other people...

Although the movie itself sounds interesting, it just screams to me 'I JUST DISCOVERED HOW AWESOME THE BEATLES WERE! NOW THE WHOLE WORLD MUST KNOW!' even though, yeah, the world already knows.

Of course, I'll still see it. xD

I'm going to see Hairspray this week, btw.

One of my IMDb friends works for the movie studio that is putting out
Across The Universe--he would be glad to hear you say that! I hope
it's a good film--looks like it has potential and hey, it's The
Beatles. :-)

I saw it last night and I friggin' loved it. Hell, I even loved the new songs. I, too, really wanted the von Tussels to "shake [their] fanny muscles" but you can't have it all. I was just taken aback by how skinny Michelle Pfieffer is!

Oh, and I pretty much DIED when I saw John Waters. I love that he was the flasher!
