Chick Flicks & Beer: Grease (1978)

Directed by Randal Kleiser

Starring John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, Stockard Channing, and Jeff Conaway

Ok, so my lazy ass finally got around to watching Grease. I'm not going to lie to you. I had my netflix copy for about 2 months and really never felt like watching the stupid thing. And, why should I? Because I've been subjected to countless cackle of college sorority girls singing it in bars and making every one else's ears bleed? But, I can't really blame them. I'm the one that was lured in by the sound of sorority girls anyways. You know the song...You're the one that I want, Ohh Ohh Ohh...If there is a jukebox and sorority girls I think it plays about ever other song. As I write this the song is stuck in my head.

Wow, I didn't really realize how old John Travolta has got in last few years. I couldn't help but be amazed that somehow his career evolved from singing "Greased Lightning" to a very, wierd and almost homoerotic dance routine...to...that fat dreadlocked alien in "Battlefield Earth". Was this before his scientology days? Maybe Travolta his an alien. Oh well...doesn't matter...because I like the way he smokes cigarettes when he plays his crazy parts (i.e. Broken Arrow, Face-Off). Wasn't he dreamy girls?

What can I say about Olivia Newton-John. She was freaking hot. Especially, when she came out at the end dressed like a greaser. Ohh Ohh Ohh! I like what I seeing, Sandy. That's all I will say about her.

As for the rest of the film. It wasn't that bad. I probably won't watch it again. Personally, I would rather watch "Mamma Mia" again. Yeah, I said it. Accompanying me during the chick flick was a ice, cold Guinness. Why? Because it looked like a big, pint of grease. Yeah, that's right. I'm creative like that.

FORCE THE BOYFRIEND: 2 out of 10 (1 means he'll hate it, 10 means he'll like it)

Watch it if you liked John Travolta and you thought he was dreamy.

DVD: 2 pieces of milky chocolate (out of 5)
Beer: 5 manly high fives (out of 5)

!!!!COMMENTS HALL OF FAME!!!!

GET OVER THE CATS, ALREADY!

"Yes, I admit, we single ladies have cats. God, is it so wrong for a guy to actually like a f*cking cat?! They are self sufficient, just like they "really want their women" and they aren't dumb...well, I'll admit, like guys want their women. I really enjoyed the middle of this movie but hated the predictable ending and beginning as well. There was some good advice in it but obviously, it backfired on the neurotic, control freak and she resulted in telling the "ugly truth" about herself. Guys expect us to accept them as they are and look past their poor grooming habits "down there" (if you know what I mean boys).... and their inability to look at themselves as not "perfect specimens". However, we women go through some brutal and I mean brutal shit to become the perfect, idealistic, bimbo-esque-with a brain, but not too much so he isn't threatened, selves!

It is hard to just lay it out there for someone and be yourself!!!! I admit. I play the game and I play it well. But it is tiring. It is frustrating. And, it has left me 100% alone. Therefore, I am left wondering, what is better...The girl he wants me to be or the girl I am. Dark Beer drinker, skinny because of Pilates which means yes, boys, I am flexible...look past the mouth that is telling you to f*ck off and realize, it is all in good fun...embrace it, scotch drinker...etc...I could go on and on but until someone is ready to take on a challenge and not take the easy way out...I would rather be single.
