Who Else Is Only Seeing The Hairspray Movie For Walken?

Posted: 6/3/07 at 1:58pm

Not a big fan of the musical or even the movie (Although John Waters himself is okay in my book...and I actually HAVE a book...) but Christopher Walken is going to be amazing within this film as he always is.

Not a fan?!

Are you TRYING to make me hate you?!

That's rather like saying you'll only see LAWRENCE OF ARABIA for Claude Rains.

Personally, I only saw Lawrence of Arabia because of Anthony Quayle

Yes, that's like going to see American Beauty to see Marissa Jaret Winokur...

I'll see it despite Walken.

I'll probably see it, but not just for Walken. The Hairspray movie isn't exactly a movie I waiting for to come out. I'm more eager for Sweeney than I am for Hairspray.

I think that if he wasn't doing Hairspray that Christopher Walken would be an excellent Judge in Sweeney.

I'll see it despite Walken.

That's exactly what I thought when I read the title of this thread.

Does anyone else think Queen Latifah sounds very puny in the trailer?

Everyone I know who has seen it thinks so, myself included.

Do you mean 'vocals'?

She's not the power-house that we've heard from others.

Yeah.

I mean, I love Queen Latifah and I think she has a fine voice. But, judging from the trailer, she doesn't come close to having the powerhouse voice needed for that role.

I'm looking forward to this movie. I see all movie-musical's, have to support them in hopes of a rare gem. Plus I secretly want to see Travolta in a dress. :)

Im really excited to see the movie, just in general! I saw the cast on Opera a a few weeks ago, and the whole cast looks pretty good! :)

HA! On Opera or on Oprah?
You don't have to answer that, it's not a big deal. It just made me chuckle

I mean, Denzel Washington? Gun to my head..of course.

I too, will be seeing it despite Walken, Travolta and Latifah, and that kid from High School Musical. I am sure it will STILL be a very entertaining film, just not the blast through the roof it should be. I hope I am wrong.

PEACE.
