Not camp enough. Yet completely ridiculous.

1. Oh, Damn...

2. Scientology invades Broadway...

:puke: Poor John Waters... Why did he EVER agree to let Revolta do that??? :cry:

Proves once again that Scientology ruins everything.

3. ok -- he looks like the real thing

and that's just all wrong.

Stayed in Mexico condo many years ago...Travolta used it the week before ..thought that was cool until the maids told me "nothing but little boys coming and going all night long" One of them then spit.

He's creeped me out ever since.

7. Why o WHY was Harvey Feinstein not given this role

Seriously!

[philosophie_en_rose]

9. Exactly! And the woman that played Tracy was great also.

The person they have now looks twelve.

The best part of Hairspray was its care-free campiness. This version looks watered-down.

10. Why must we make movies based on Broadway plays based on movies

seriously, if I want to see the Producers, I'll buy a ticket or watch the original.

[philosophie_en_rose]

11. Some of us never get to see the shows.

:shrug:

Still, there's no excuse for 'remakes.'

And Hairspray was already a musical.

16. That was Ricki Lake

[Left Is Write]

8. Wait a minute...."new" Hairspray? NEW HAIRSPRAY?

Who the effenheimer thought remaking HAIRSPRAY would be a good idea???

[LostinVA]

17. I know...

12. Travolta as Edna Turnblad?

UGH, count this as another movie that I'll be avoiding. Time to break out the original Hairspray DVD and get his ugly puss out of my mind.


edited for one too many "t"s in Turnblad

13. Divine be spinning in his grave.

Well, let this lay to rest once and for all any misconceptions that all gay men can make good drag queens.

[philosophie_en_rose]

14. Travolta is definitely not Divine.

Travolta looks like a bloated orphan reject from Annie.

[LynneSin]

15. Yes but he's a popular leading straight man playing a drag role

It's a safe bet over actually having someone gay like Harvey Fienstein doing the role. Then Hollywood can sell it as a clean wholesome movie instead of the campy John Waters movie from 1987.

18. "Straight man"?! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Sissie, you're so funny!
