B had been bugging me about seeing Grease for a while, so we watched it last night. He had never seen it before - can you believe it? I really didn't want to see it again, but it was about time I saw something he picked. It was actually pretty fun, except that I kept kind of crying. Some of the details, like Sandy's high ponytail at the drive-in or Danny's face at the very end of Summer Nights, were so vivid in my memory that I felt like I was right back on Sara's couch in grade two, watching it for the eleventh time.
The item below makes me cry, but that's less to do with soppy sentimentality and more a plea to make it stop. I think the song is pretty good - OK, dated, but still good - but the video! When was the last time you saw this piece of crap?

I have never seen that video! but I have seen the movie a few times. Most recently it was on tv about 3 years ago.
I know what you mean about suddenly being back in your childhood body. Did I really watch these things that many times? or did I just absorb information better when I was young?
Really? All the memories of Video Hits came flooding back when I found this - I had completely forgotten it existed but it was a case of lifting the cover gradually on an old memory which is different than seeing something for the first time, but also different from actually remembering. As I know you know!
I don't think I've ever seen the movie. We should watch it!
It's funny what you do and don't remember too, like the colour of someone's hair ribbon - why that and not something else? I would never notice half those things now.
