Divine?
So, do I have this right? There was a movie called Hairspray and then someone made a musical out of it and called it Hairspray and then someone made a movie out of the musical and called it Hairspray?
That even puts the Friends/Coupling/Coupling troika to shame for sheer Hollywood madness.
Also, I noticed on the poster for the current iteration of Hairspray (the movie of the musical of the movie, not just the movie) that it's rated PG for "Momentary Teen Smoking."
What the hell have we become? John Waters makes a funny and honest movie featuring an enormous transvestite and Rikki Lake and then somehow through black mall magic we transmogrify it into a corporate pre-fab summer flick to be consumed by the kind of people who not only believe in the concept of "momentary teen smoking" but might somehow be upset by it.
I'm just hoping Pink Flamingos gets the same treatment so it can someday be rated PG for "Momentary Teen Dog-Shit Eating."
