Latest fandom of interest: Hairspray (And other items too)

[rosa_cotton]

Okay, I want to see Hairspray. I watched most of the songs on youtube this weekend. They are very catchy; I really liked Good Morning Baltimore and I Can Hear the Bells. Zac Efron looks good with dark hair. Does anyone know if he did his own singing? It sounded like he did to me. I barely recognized Amanda Bynes with her blond hair. Why exactly is Edna played by a guy? It is freaky.

And I've hunted for Hairspray fanfiction even though I haven't seen the movie yet.

While You Were Sleeping, with Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman (he's so cute), is now my favorite chick flick. I saw it at camp. It is one of the cleanest romantic comedies I've seen. It is such a sweet and funny movie. If you haven't seen it go and watch it!

I have finally seen North and South (at camp as well), and understand what all the fuss is about. At first I was afraid it was going to be a lot like Pride and Prejudice but soon that fear was put to rest. It was a really good story. The cinematography was well done. The cast was wonderful. The winner of the whole miniseries was the music which was beyond beautiful, especially the main theme. For some reason I never really connected with Margaret. Wives and Daughters is still my favorite miniseries, but I enjoyed North and South much more than P&P.

North and South! Never seen it but apparently Richard Armitage is in it and is nicer than he was as brooding leather-clad Sir Guy. :)

Edna is played by a guy because in the original movie she was played by Devine, a famous drag queen/transvestite (I'm not sure which she was) and the musicial just kind of went along with it. I loved the movie for the most part, though I could have seriously done with Travolta. Amanda Bynes is shockingly good!

Good luck on the Hairspray fanfic. I've been looking for years. There might be more now, though, since the movie came out. This one's pretty good though, but I don't think it'll make much sense until you've seen it! :D

Oh, I've only seen two miniseries. The Starter Wife and Into the West. Both I loved very much, as Starter Wife had Miranda Otto in it. But Into the West was wayyy better and I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.

Oh, I saw While You Were Sleeping! LOVE that movie. I agree with you, it is indeed a very clean romantic comedy, but very sweet nonetheless. :D

I still have yet to see North and South. *sighs* Nearly everyone on my flist has seen it, and even though the clips are up on youtube, I still haven't looked them up... I'm too lazy. xD
