Hair Spray

I'm watching Hairspray with DS3. He was so sweet and recorded it for me. I rented it once and DH wouldn't let me watch it - he thinks he controls the TV. Obviously DH is out right now. I've never seen the movie before, not the old version either. I was dying to see it at the theater and wished I had. Anyway, it's on now, finally. I'm really enjoying it. I'm a musical lover but I also think it's neat because it's set in 1963 and I really enjoy nostalgia. I love to listen to the dialogue (I hope it's authentic), and I love to see the old things. Should I say "old"? I remember 1963; vaguely anyway. I was pretty little in '63. But I remember the '60's in general well enough. It doesn't feel or look old to me. But I know it does to my kids. When I think in terms that it was 25 years ago, I go "Whoa!" James Marsden is so cute in this. Whew! Hot! In a 1960's kind of way. His character's hip, too. Likewise, Michele Pfeiffer's being a real bitch. LOL The girl that plays Tracy is also adorable. What a personality. John Travolta's a real hoot as Tracy's mom. Of course, I'm probably the last one to realize all this. The movie's only been out forever, even this remake. On another slightly different topic, DS3 is watching with me. He's one of those people who can't keep his mouth shut during a movie. He's got to make constant comments and go off at tangents about anything and everything and disrupt the movie. Do you know people like that? Don't you just want to stuff food in their mouth to shut them up? (Of course, I don't, but it is frustrating.) But I'm trying to be patient as my son wants to talk.
