Julie, I had the same reaction you did. Sorry, War, I couldn't get past the tramp clothes and figured she flipped. Rosie, I think that at least 3/4 of the time I was looking at what you were but there were times when only the girls were on the screen.

I just remember thinking I liked Sandy better the other way. I never thought she looked trampy, just not her. I guess it was because she was Olivia Newton-John.

Once Sandy was in the car and they headed towards the clouds, you could see the unsexy Sandy waving away. I did like her better earlier in the movie though. She just did what she had to in order to get Danny's attention. And I always loved that song that Rizzo sang, There Are Worse Things I Could Do!

I was in college and we all dressed up like the 2nd Sandy for a party...so i am thinking, no, i didn't think she was trampy! LOL GAL, i agree, it's the fact that her hair and makeup are so smudged looking like she just had sex that bothers me the most.

I thought she looked like she'd gone over to 'the dark side'.

I liked Grease in general but I didn't like the way she changed so much at the end.

I loved Grease! And I loved the innocent sweet Sandy the best! But I also understood it was just a movie and loved Olivia Newton John either way. Make believe is fun!

Now see, Jim, that was more my problem with Sandy and Danny both, that they changed at all. You shouldn't have to change for someone you love, if they can't accept you the way you are then that's their problem and their loss. She even went as far as having a cigarette in hand and that so wasn't her. Love the movie, think it's the best ever (seriously!) but that bugged me far more than what she was dressed like at the end.

I agree with that. I loved the movie, the songs were fun, the plot was fun and I like Olivia and thought she was great as Sandy. And Travolta was good too. Overall though, I don't think the message was very good. The reason I was disappointed with Sandy changing as much as she did is I didn't see it as for the better. Her change just went too far. I think it is okay to try to appreciate and learn from the other person's interests but that wasn't in a good way. Having said all that, maybe this is too deep an analysis for a fun little musical.

I think a big difference in whether Sandy looked trampy or not is because you have a 30+ year old playing a 17 year old. If you had real actors and actresses playing their real age, it would probably seem a lot worse.

Sandy aged about ten years when she put on that outfit. It was about the only sour note in that whole movie!

And when they came in for a closeup, you could tell it was a 30 year old playing a teen.

Oh, I thought she looked fantastic! I don't think there was ever a time in my life I could pull of that outfit. If she did it at 30, good for her!!

Not a single actor in that movie could have passed for a 17 year old, except the little blond kid who like Jan.

I loved Grease and enjoyed it. It's entertainment to me and I wouldn't look for any deep meanings etc in it. And I loved the sexy Sandy lol. Her hair looked much better too.

It appears Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are ready to make beautiful music together. A source close to Mariah has confirmed to Access Hollywood that the music diva is engaged to Nick Cannon. One of my son's best friends, looks exactly like Nick Cannon.

Eh. I figure she likes the fact that she can drag him around by a ring in his nose, after that first husband of hers. If we had a "Call the Divorce" thread I'd totally call these two. I'd give them two years tops, and it will end when Mariah gets sick of his cheating and spending her money. They're a weird couple, but not as weird as Whitney and Bobby. Those two were just "huh?" when you heard about them. Not so much with Mariah and Nick. I like them both, but I don't see them as equals.

Nick Cannon used to have his own show on Nickelodeon. He went on to be in the movie Drumline and a few more. He also had a comedy competition on MTV.

OK, so I like Nick Cannon. Those who know me know of my overzealous appreciation for the movie "Drumline." But dang, that man has gotten around hasn't he?!

Oh Maris, Whitney was supplied well before Bobby came along. Yep Mamie he was. He was also dating Christinia Milian. Oh and he had a show on MTV called Wildin(sp) Out.

True Mocha, but it is nice to keep that stuff all in the family, so to speak
