[RG]

lol! yeah i was always thinking,what the hell is that guy doing? that stupid little walk

NNNNNNNNooooooooooooooo.... Green shirt boy ... I can't stand him either and he pops up in so many different parts of the movie.



But yeah I'm also a huge fan of Grease ... after all it's the word!

It's one of my favorite movies and a movie that marked my adolescence.

It was also a source of a really surreal experience a few years ago. We have the Eastman House around here and I go see movies there frequently.

They had Grease there and the director, Randell Klesser, would be there and talk. Well, all I saw was that the movie was playing and the director was going to be there. I didn't see it was going to be part of a Gay film festival. I didn't mind that fact at all but was very unaware of it until I got there and was among a predominantly gay audience. It turns out the movie was playing at the festival only because Randell is gay and not because of some sort of assumed gay subtext of the movie itself (though it was hinted at when Danny and Kenickie went from playful punching into a hug).

It was a "sing a long" version by the way so that was fun. What was even more fun is to hear the huge "booooo" when they said "all couples should be boy and girl" in the movie.

Anyway, Randell Klieser was cool and he signed my Grease DVD (the first release).

One of my all-time faves! Saw it with my sister in theaters seven times the summer of '78. We had the soundtrack on vinyl, all 4 sides of which we played till they wore smooth! And of course I've seen the movie many times since then, and I still play the soundtrack on CD from time to time. Olivia was my first big crush, and I still dream about her sometimes...!

I guess I missed the boat. I respect people from all kinds on this hype on this movie. When it came out, I never really got it. I saw all the hype and craziness that took place around me because of the movie but it never really sold with me. I was too into Star Wars and super heroes to really take time to get into this Grease phase that seemed to be turning my younger friends and family into idiots.

I have tried watching it recently again on several occasions with my youngest daughter who for some reason is now obessesed with the classic. I think I just missed the boat and it never caught on with me. I always threw it in with the crap like Saturday Night Fever and a bunch of other odd movies from that time and just "never got it."

I did pickup the new remastered soundtrack for my DJ business and my daughter.

Here's to Grease! NOT.

[soldierape]

by the way...am I the only loser who has this soundtrack on his IPOD?

I have the record and Cd

those would've been some cool megos if they would've made the dolls

No, I have it on CD and often times play it in the car.

Still have the LP...got it for my birthday in 1978.....
That was a double album......seldom listened to the second album.
All the "GOOD" songs were on the first album.

And yes, when Sandy dressed up "cool" at the end of the movie, that was hot.

I've always liked it. My sister took me to see it when I was around 3 or 4. Not sure if it was first run, but it may have been the first live-action movie I ever saw in a theater. I usually attribute that to Superman, but it may have been Grease. I think my sister took me due to my obsession with Fonzie at the time. Either way, I actually remember seeing it because the seat folded up with me and I was holding the popcorn bucket and popcorn flew over half the theater. Even at that age I was majorly embarrassed.

Our drama class put on the play my senior year. I wasn't on the team, but one of my best friends was cast as Danny. I had a classic leather jacket, so he borrowed it. My jacket was kind of a co-star. Funny thing was, I had to nag him for about a month AFTER the play to give it back. He got to like it a little too well.

It's funny in hindsight as an adult to watch the movie, listen to the lyrics and realize it is in no way suitable for kids! I mean "the chicks will cream"? C'mon!

I'm a fan.

Some lines are just classic.

Sometimes I still answer "Rockin'...rollin'"
when people ask me how I'm doing.

I think the soundtrack is solid, yeah, but
I think the theme song is one of the greatest
songs ever recorded, period.

[hobub]

Grease to me is about synonomous with 7th grade because that's where I was when it was in the theatres. Also thinking of Olivia in that tight leather outfit! WOAH!

[apes3978]

songs ever recorded, period.

You can actually understand the lyrics to that song?

Travolta had some great lines in the movie...but his delivery really
improved some of the more basic lines^^^

RE: THE GREASE "THEME"

Awesome---although---as a kid, I remember being disappointed for about
a minute after realizing the whole thinmg wasnm't going to be like that

But I bounced back!

You can actually understand the lyrics to that song?

The lyrics are incredible poetry in my eyes. Seems to be a commentary on
how life stays the same throughout the ages... the 50s, 70s or the 25th
Century ---as I interpret the lyrics any way.

Randell Klieser told a story about the theme song written by Barry Gibb. When he first saw the theme song Barry had written, he thought "What in the world is this? 'This is the life of illusion Wrapped up in trouble laced with confusion What we doing here?' this is a happy go lucky teenage musical." But he was too intimidated (being a rookie director and Barry Gibb being musician just off of the blockbuster Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and assigned to this movie by Robert Stigwood, RSO) to tell Barry Gibb he didn't think it was in the spirit of the movie.
