I just lost my drain of thought

I saw Hairspray on Tuesday with Amy and I really liked it. I am glad that there are people I can enjoy a musical movie with. Now I just have to find someone who will watch Becoming Jane with me. hahaha. It’s not only that I love ultra cheesy, romantic movies, it’s also that I loved Pride and Prejudice and I really want to see what events inspired the story. Please watch with me.

Anyway, Hairspray, when you ignore the catchy tunes and whatnot, has a really good message. It’s about being comfortable with who you really are and not conforming to society. I guess if who you really are is a conformist then that’s sort of a bummer for you, isn’t it? Tracy Turnblad, the main character, is very lovable, because she’s always doing her own thing and not accepting the way things are just because it’s the norm. By the way, if you look at the characters in the 1988 Hairspray and the 2007 one, the current ones look so much younger, even Corny Collins. Man, James Marsden is hot. Oh and just out of curiosity, WHAT possessed John Travolta to dress up as a woman?? Did they somehow lure him in by advertising this movie as this generation’s Grease and he decided he couldn’t allow this generation’s Grease to happen without him? Every time he was in one of the scenes, I shuddered and cringed, especially the scenes with Christopher Walken.

Though I did very much enjoy this movie, I’m just wondering what’s with this trend of remaking movies that came out like less than 20 years ago. Just because special effects and stuff are better nowadays, it doesn’t mean those old movies aren’t any good. I am especially shocked that they are putting out a remake of Halloween because dood, there’s been like a hundred of them already. I get it, Michael Myers is scary. When you run out of stories to use, you don’t go back to the beginning and start all over again. Stop putting out movies about him already.

Anywho, after the movie we got pho and then boba. Dinner under ten dollars? Gee wiz!
