It doesn’t matter how many times Travolta’s career gets ‘revived’ he always manages to make a pig’s ear out of it. Evidently, Dianetics doesn’t give you the ability to avoid crappy scripts. Now he’s going to be J.R. Ewing in the movie of Dallas? Look Who’s Talking 4 surely beckons.

I just realized my character and John Travolta’s character are sportin’ the same ‘do.

I’ve been meaning to get a prosthetic penis, but I only remember when I drive past the store.

@joz: oh, come on! It seems like dances in every movie, save Battlefield Earth. lol.

Michael: dancing
Be Cool: dancing
Pulp Fiction: dancing
Phenomenon: ... I can’t remember, but surely he danced somewhere. lol.

I’m sure it’s a fun movie, but I take issue with remakes like this, I guess (aside from the whole fat lady thing). ESPECIALLY cult classics. I thought it was odd when they made it a musical, too, but ok, it makes sense… but to make a movie from a musical that already was a movie? It seems silly to me.

But I’m sure it’ll be a big hit and I’m not saying I won’t see it (on cable).

I actually don’t think this is about Travolta “looking for an excuse to dance on the screen” and I’m no Travolta fan.

Travolta has been avoiding musicals/dancing movies for years to get away from Grease and Saturday Night Fever type roles. “Hollywood” has been trying to get Travolta back in a musical for 30 years now. It took a role like this to change his mind and actually do it.

I did see a lot of clips of the musical numbers from the movie in March at ShoWest (at a New Line sponsored “Hairspray” event) where they brought the actual dancers from the movie + most of the stars out on stage that night. I have to say that even though Hairspray is not one of my favorite musicals, this does look like a very fun summer movie.

I really like Nikki Blonsky the “real life fat girl” who won the role of Tracy Turnblad via MySpace. She’s totally charming and absolutely perfect for the role.

If you figure it out, let me know. My mom LOVES Madea, Norbit, Big Mamma, et. al, but Hairspray? She won’t see that one. Now explain THAT to me.
