Yes, a squee post. This is not unusual for me, I know, as I am atrocious at such things, plus the whole fixation on a guy who's probably twice my age and is happily married with a son... I shouldn't know that, should I?

Never mind. Hairspray is the only film in around three months I haven't had to run from the sofa cringing in the middle, and that, for me, is saying something. I was expecting a lot, and I wasn't disappointed; the cast were all brilliant, newcomers or High School Musical... things (they don't count as people), and I believe it takes an awful lot of guts to shake your ass on camera when dressed up as a woman in a fat suit; go John Travolta!

The book was very good, too; amusing lyrics and script. Since I'm embroiled in the trollop that is The Boyfriend at the minute (a 20's musical which requires a French accent on my part), everything compares favourably, and though it wasn't jaw-crackingly funny like Avenue Q it had a good dose of laughs that brought up the mood of something that could have easily become very slushy and sentimental with an overbearing moral, which was just about avoided.

Mind you, didn't James Marsden look sexy in that purple suit? ^^ I didn't know what to expect with his character, but I was very pleasantly surprised. I loved the lyrics to 'Hairspray'; Corny Collins is an arrogant bastard indeed. In fact, I was only there for his part originally, but highly enjoyed the whole extravaganza, though I noticed how songs deviated from the soundtrack.

Other observations... oh, I did a double take when Tracy descended with her black and white number, but it wasn't her dress, it was her hair. I thought of Movie!Rogue straight away, and ended up in a fit of the giggles. Whoops.

I'd usually go looking for fanfiction at this point, but I've decided I'm not going to mash my brain either by reading or writing for the fandom. Well, I could write it and then leave it on my computer to rot, like 99% of everything I do, but we'll see.

I'll get RL stuffs over first, I think. Minor things like GCSE mock exams come first, sadly (why, oh why did they move them forward two weeks for all of three people? Why?)
