Gunn ,'Power Play'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That's a good one! I had the hardest time with pussy wagon (In Greased Lightning). Their suggestion was Dragon Wagon! Which is weird.
The thing with Grease is that is the whole tone of the show! If you edit i, there is no plot or words or fun left! Although I just looked at the script online- the one that adds the movie songs, and it seems to be toned down. But I don't like it as much!
I am always amazed how popular Grease is here in Utah. Everyone seems to think it's just a fun nostalgic show, whereas I was horrified the first time I watched it.
Is "pussy wagon" even edited out on TV? It's nuts.
And yes, the end is horrifying.
ION, I thought I had broken my streak of their being a random coworker at every event my band plays, but no! A higher-up just told me he saw us on Saturday.
And yes, the end is horrifying.
I remember Mad Magazine's take on the end. In the first panel, Ponytail!Sandy says, "I guess the only way to get the boy I love --" (to second panel, showing MadeOver!Sandy) "is to become a slut! How's that for a message for the kids of America?"
With even more hindsight, I would suggest that tight pants and big hair don't make you a slut, but STILL.
I've never seen Grease. Y'all are not making me regret this.
Power still out at home. Went to a motel at 11pm last night. Might get it back today, might not.
I don't think a person could see it for the first time as an adult and enjoy it, but man, I still love it! 40-year-old Stockard Channing as high school bad girl Rizzo? Perfection.
I actually think there is a little bit of a theme that everyone changes, and Sandy is a rigidly defined by her goodness as Rizzo is by her badness. But I kind of had to think that in order to direct it!
I think maybe "braggin' wagon"? could work.
