1) Anyone who would actually see a sing-a-long showing of Grease most assuredly doesn’t need the words to the songs. This audience can probably also recite the dialog. (And there was no need to have bolstered songs to encourage the audience to participate. Again, anyone who would show up to this would actually sing.)

2) Whoever was responsible for putting the lyrics on the screen probably owned/was hosted on a teen-girl domain circa 1998. (You guys know who you are.)

3) Seeing Grease on the big screen means not being able to fast-forward through “Beauty School Dropout.”

4) Hearing “Beauty School Dropout” for the first time in fifteen years offered the shocking revelation that it is quite possibly the most depressing song ever in a musical.

5) I know I’ve mentioned how Olivia Newton-John circa Grease would make an excellent Wakefield twin. Perhaps Diablo Cody could look into using her to play Alice Wakefield — or, pending her being too old to practically be the twins’ older sister — she could play Marjorie.

6) Pins!

7) I still have another seven years before I’m as old as Stockard Channing was when she played Rizzo, and I am nine years out of high school.

8 ) Do you ever forget just how dirty this movie is? This once again came to my attention when certain words became pictures during “Greased Lightning” as well as being acutely aware of the five-ish-year-old girl in the audience.

9) Singing aside, this was a great big screen experience. I’ll go ahead and put it up there with seeing Gone with the Wind when it was re-released when I was fifteen. Now to just get Dirty Dancing…

10) There are few things in this world as instantly gratifying as watching Grease— even for the millionth time.
