Sexy Celebrity's Movie Commentaries!

Same.

It's really mostly just Hugo Weaving that I find scary. He creeps me out. Kind of like Malcolm McDowell.

Overall, I liked it. It was funny and entertaining, but I felt it lacked the poignancy of Hedwig. Also the dialogue wasn't as witty.

I love this more than Hedwig.

Did you see the blowup doll at the end?

I'm not sure what poignancy you mean.

Who's up for a bacon milkshake?

Yeah, I saw the blow-up doll.

Hedwig really captured that lost sort of feeling when you're struggling with personal identity and with failure. It just seemed to have more substance to it, whereas this seemed to be more of a buddy road movie. I felt much more connected to Hedwig than to Priscilla, but I did enjoy both and thank you very much for introducing them to me.

Priscilla is more about dealing with adversity and being strong and tough in the face of everyone and everything that hates you for being different. It's more about that than personal identity. It's why they're always dealing with people and situations that are against them. Even nature itself isn't very friendly to them. But they manage to see things in a light that makes them feel needed and necessary and protected.

To me, that's more important than Hedwig's message. Which, I've found, has been harder to figure out than Priscilla's.

Priscilla is what everyone who cries, "BULLIES! BULLIES! BULLIES! I'M GONNA KILL MYSELF!" needs. They need to see these people just say, "F**K OFF!" to everyone that wants them dead.

Yeah, I can see that. Maybe it's just that Hedwig's message speaks to me more than Priscilla's.

Bitchiness and humor is the key to life in Priscilla.

Hedwig is too much about trying to find the key to life. Priscilla already knows from the get-go.

I'd say there were plenty of both in Hedwig.

Oh, no doubt there's bitchiness and humor in Hedwig. But I have to say... when thinking about the messages... I feel more wisdom in Priscilla. Hedwig spends too much time... sulking or something. Hedwig feels so incomplete. He stalks his boyfriend. He cries about finding his other half. He wastes a lot of time wallowing in pain. To me, Priscilla is just more inspirational. Bernadette's lover dies, she takes off and moves on to the next thing. Hedwig would have turned the whole event into a dreary concert or something, I think. It's a problem I do have with Hedwig and have always had with it -- it's a funny movie, but it's taken time for me to see that. But in my opinion, it's not really FUN.

When I first saw Hedwig, I was told it was like Rocky Horror Picture Show, which I think is fun and which I think is like Priscilla. Hedwig seemed NOTHING like Rocky Horror to me, and I left the theater totally disappointed.

I just think there's more being offered by something like Priscilla. These characters are more of a role model to me than Hedwig. Hedwig is more like looking into a mirror and seeing your flaws. Looking at yourself. Priscilla is more about examples and who, I think, you should emulate.

I think Hedwig is a lot of fun, but I like that itrospection and "wallowing in pain" you talk about. I can relate to it and in that sense it's very much like my own writing. But to each their own and both films have their merits.

As a side note, I hated Rocky Horror.

WOW! 23 Films already.
