Amanda Bynes' facial expression while she's screaming at Link on the TV cracks me UP.
Me too!!! :) lol
I like how when Seaweed kisses his fingers and touches Penny's lips! I also like how they are adding new lines to the Broadway script! (i.e., VELMA: Tracy certainly has redefined our standards!)

I'll be curious to hear some of the new dialogue by screenwriter Leslie Dixon, who did two of my favorite 80's guilty pleasures---OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE and OVERBOARD.
and Mrs Doubtfire and Freaky Friday.
Looks great! Glad to see that the film is not trying to duplicate the stage version like the film versions of "Rent" and "The Producers." Though I'm still uncertain about Travolta as Edna, I'm looking forward to the movie.

Sidney, your screen name was driving me crazy because it was so familiar and yet I could quite place it.
DEATHTRAP, right?
Wow, I cannot stop watching this trailer. It looks beyond fantastic.
I can not stop watching it either...I hope this movie does well..it is up against some other good movies...the HARRY POTTER film comes out about a week before...I hope HSPRAY it comes in first at the BOX OFFICE but I fear that HP will rule for like a whole month..
SPRAY THAT HAIRY POTTER!!!
LOL...Spider-Man comes out on May 3rd...I don't think it will be in the 1-5 marking when Hairspray comes out...in the top ten, yes, but not the 1-5..Harry Potter on the other hand will be like # 1 for a while..I wish they would have released it in between big blockbuster summer movies...so that Hairspray would stand on it's own...
Judging form the trailer, this movie looks freaking fantastic!

it sure does...
It's hard to convince people that all the humor, edge, joy and 'john waters-like essence' is still in this version. Especially on trailer alone.
It is there, I just hope the doubters will take a chance with Hairspray... or else they will just miss out. I think its hard for anyone to eat there words- therefore I hope Hairspray is a huge smash- just so I can see all the bloggers back track. Or better yet, they see Hairspray and love it. :)
It's like 2002 all over again. "A broadway musical? Why the original is so good! Harvey's great, but he's no Divine! Its too cutesy. Where is Tammy and Hodgepile? Where is tilted acres, No pia zadora!? etc..."
But I am glad to see a lot of bww-ers are starting to warm up to the film.
I bought the OBC soundtrack and thought it was so corny that I doubt I would ever like it until my friend mentioned that it was actually based from a movie. I rented the movie today and totally liked it!
The tour is coming here in CA and I will probably see it now that I have a better understanding of the show and would definitely see the movie.
I can't wait!
