Divine made me laugh like crazy at times, but others it was just too dry and manish.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Dmrockon09)Fri, 09 Jan 2009 00:07:33 +0000 Re: did you like Divine?https://besprayed.runboard.com/p2650,from=rss#post2650https://besprayed.runboard.com/p2650,from=rss#post2650I don't really know how I feel about his performance.

I don't know why, per se. But, I just did. I also have good memories with it, which probably helps. But, I think that Divine was a really good Edna! And so was Harvey. I mean, I liked how he played Edna AND the stage manager. I thought that was coolio. Haha...my favorite lines are: Amber: She better hadn't dare! Velma: Don't stop, cha-cha! Amber: But, I'm tired! Franklin: Look at these new campaign flyers I made. Amber: Oh, daddy. Edna: Turn that racket down, I'm trying to irrrronnn in here! Amber: No, mommy, no! Haha. I guess I'm like...the only one who liked the old movie...nondisclosed_email@example.com (shesgotcooties)Mon, 01 Oct 2007 10:17:46 +0000 Re: did you like Divine?https://besprayed.runboard.com/p338,from=rss#post338https://besprayed.runboard.com/p338,from=rss#post338quote:Link Larkin wrote: What bothered you about Ricki's Tracy?

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big John Travolta fan, but I was not thrilled when I heard he'd be playing Edna in the new movie. There were definitely some things about his performance that I wasn't crazy about, but overall I felt he did a good job. But the entire time I watched him, all I could think about was "this is John Travolta." He still looked like himself; only he looked as if he'd gained 75 lbs and started dressing in drag haha.
