james marsden in hairspray

So I rewatched the newer movie version of Hairspray tonight, and I couldn't take my eyes off Corny. I don't normally give two thoughts to James Marsden's looks, but as Corny? All I can say is damn! He makes that early '60's square thing work, and puts that 10 year old-looking Zac Efron to shame!

That would be James Marsters....Who will also be playing piccolo in the Dragonball movie that comes out next year. James Marsden played cyclops in the x-men movies

I can't believe he's playing Piccolo. I'd probably be excited about that if I like Dragonball.

Don't worry, I do that too. I can't mistake the faces, but I always have to stop and think which one is Marsters and which one is Marsden.

It's good and fun and shiny as a musical that touches on social equality in a fairly lighthearted way.

But if you're a fan of the original it's best to just ignore they're supposed to tell the same story. The new one may have better production and actors who can actually act, but all traces of the subversive weirdness from Waters' version is gone.

Thats the reason I haven't seen it lol
I love the original and I love John Waters, so I didn't really wwant to see it all cleaned up and overproduced.

Besides, the new one wasn't filmed here in Baltimore sad
If you will, so will I

I love both versions, but as far as I'm concerned they're not the same thing at all. Might as well compare Disney's Little Mermaid with American History X, for all they have in common. lol

I'm eagerly waiting for Dragonball to come out. I check for trailers every week or two, lol. so far nothing though, just a couple pictures. I think he'll make a pretty great Piccolo though.

He did a decent job, but I didn't think he was hot.

I found we was really attractive as the dorky singing prince in Enchanted.
