My dream about Grease II
Often I’m not in my dreams – I =
often dream entire movies or TV shows, where me watching them may or may =
not even be part of the dream.
Last night I dreamed =
that Grease II (which I’ve never seen, but which has an inferior =
reputation to Grease) was made in the style of an experimental =
new wave german art video. The music was all appropriately =
Grease-like but the hair, makeup, staging, and effects were all =
otherwise from an early 80s krautrock video. Frenchie was making =
out with Kenickie and her whole lower jaw as well as her tongue were =
coated in glitter makeup. As if her tongue was wearing Michael =
Jackson’s glove. The “plot” was that they were all, =
coincidentally, on vacation in Europe at the same time – but also =
looking for jobs. Much of it was set in formal gardens, where =
Kenickie’s motorcycle and Rizzo’s chevy did not seem to belong. =
Rizzo had this terrifying huge blonde wig and a denim or leather =
jacket – I think she had been crossed with the lady who used to be on =
the Rough Rider condom package for 20 years until the late 90s. I =
had a strong critical reaction to the movie – that if the songs had been =
better, if the scenes had changed more often between songs, and that if =
Danny and Sandy would show up, it could have been really good. The weird =
makeup, hair, and lighting would have won crowds over (in my =
dream).
