The new Hairspray is just released in video, which I saw in the theater when it came out. So tonight I re-watched the John Waters original (the stage show came after the movie btw). It’s good, but ya know, it was better in the hazy glow of my memory, or maybe I think differently of it because now I’m not in a theater, or maybe it’s the 20 years…but my experience of the new one might have suffered by an unfair comparison. Now I want to see the new one again to get it fresh in my mind.
Oh for goodness sake, are these two movies worth even one more thought I ask myself. Oh, who cares I answer.
And I thought I wasn’t going to watch any more movies about my olden days when we actually thought that we might overcome someday.
