Favorite movies - the family cult classic
Sep. 7th, 2011 12:10 amEver since it came out, I was enamored with this film:
I remembered reading about Ricki Lake having to eat constantly because all of the dancing had her losing weight; that she and Colleen Fitzpatrick (later to be known as the singer Vitamin C) had to have their hair bleached almost daily... and I also had a can of the re-named AquaNet: Caryl Richards 'Just Wonderful' Hairspray.
Anyways, this film has become sort of like our own "Rocky Horror Picture Show" - we know all the lines, all the songs ... just not quite all the dances.
And since I was able to get my hands on a copy of the soundtrack for the film (finally) - I've been playing the hell out of it, and enjoying it quite a lot. (John Waters called the soundtrack "...(a) known remedy today's 'Hit Parade of Hell'")
Speaking of, 'Hit Parade of Hell' is going to be the name of my next band:
This is after Aguilerica breaks up - Metallica/Aguilera mash-up idea loses its luster, band in-fighting.
Then, Condoms(!) At The Dollar Store goes kaput - half the band is more interested in a Big Star/Gin Blossoms/REM sort of thing, other half likes things as they are.
