HAIRSPRAY, THE 6TH MOST SUCCESSFUL MOVIE MUSICAL OF ALL TIMES.
#25re: Hairspray made it to the # 2!!!
Posted: 8/2/07 at 4:54pmThis is great. I've seen it twice, and I'm hoping to see it again. This is the kind of movie that will have total DVD success, too.
One time, Patti LuPone punched me in the face...

It's not the sixth most successful of all time, then. Just since 1974.

Sad that Underdog and C&L will surpass it this weekend- but I shouldnt complain... Hairspray is doing pretty darn well.

"Celebrating a birthday this week: Rene Descartes is 412! Do you know who he is? Then why are you watching this show? You could probably get into college and even get one of those job things. As for the rest of us; Amanda Bynes is 22! Yay!"

Posted: 8/4/07 at 2:41pmNo one could possibly want to see that Underdog Movie- that looks like the worst film ever made.

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
