Dreamgirls!
 

I am very excited about this!
I loves me some Jennifer Hudson...:p :nod:

Preach it!!!!

I'm so ready to see this.

looks good, i can't wait to see it either!!!~

She's so talented, I want to see this too!

The previews looked good.:nod:

I heard it is AMAZING!
People clapping and standing in the movie theatre after all of Effie's songs...

Hudson is amazing..... Absolutely beautiful voice.:nod:

I have tickets to the 10:20 am show on Xmas with two friends. Can't wait. I saw the play in the 80's with my grandma and loved it.:woohoo:

My friend Tamela and I are going to the first showing on Christmas then headed downtown to the La Mansion champagne brunch! :]
Good times...

rbs

I am seeing it here in Vegas with my family on Christmas Day..then when I get back to L.A. I will see it in a packed Theatre with hundreds of gay screaming men...lol!!!:D

Talk about the depths of hell! :laugh:

I'm really looking forward to this one, but unfortunately it won't hit theatres here until the end of February. Did I mention yet that I hate they haven't perfected the concept global release yet?

...hehehehe.

This movie is fan-fricking-tastic! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I loved every minute of it. All of them turned in great performances. And while know the hype is about Jennifer Hudson (well-deserved, she has earned it), I think the show-stopper was Eddie Murphy. I can't wait to see this movie again.:D

ARGH!@#

I was going to treat myself to this movie tonight, but it's not showing here yet. :(

The Movie Rocked!!!!

Can't wait to see it. :thumbsup:

I'd also like to give props to the 3rd Dreamgirl, Anika Noni Rose. She isn't getting a lot of attention what with Jennifermania and Beyonce and all. And her part is much smaller. But she is great. She was Caroline's daughter in my favorite musical "Caroline Or Change" and won a Tony for that outstanding performance. I believe she is from the Bay Area.

Damn, I want to see the movie again today.

I want to see it too. The tracks I have heard from the movie have been great. I never saw the stage show, but I was just looking at this performance from the Tony awards in the early 80's, and I was spellbound.
J. Holiday at Tony awards

This is why I love Jennifer Holliday (the original B'Way Effie) and am biased towards the movie. I still want to see it though. Look at how skinny Loretta Devine is in the youtube vid! Wow, she was hot!

There will never be another Jennifer Holliday as Effie, but Hudson does justice to the role. I hope they get a revival of the musical going very soon.

Just so you know, I am not trying to get a debate going about the Jennifer's, but I was so blown away by that Tony awards clip, and wanted to share.
Now, if you look at the clip, imagine being that guy with Jennifer Holiday singing 2 inches from your ear—yikes!

Every thread turns into a debate. :laugh:

I love the clip...thanks for posting!

P.S. Jennifer Holliday would be pleased you posted that. Apparently she is very angry that she's not getting much publicity with the release of the movie.

I can't wait to see this! For those who have seen it, what about Beyonce? How would you rate her performance?

I rate it very good. She didn't blow me away like Hudson, Murphy. But she did a great job.

Well..Beyonce was good..did not blow me away either!
What a great cast...Hudson blew the roof off!
Beyonce obviously wanted her role pumped up by adding the song "Listen"
No one will steal Jennifer's thunder!!!:laugh: :p

Too bad that song blows chunks.

It kinda grew on me....:shrug:

Tell us what you REALLY think Curtie :nod:

like genital warts.

"Inspirational" songs are so tacky. They are one, big ball of mushy lyrics thrown together to make 12 years olds with braces and zits feel good. Whatever. It's not real life. When do big dreams come true? Hardly ever.

I think I'm bitter. :lol:

YOU ARE EVIL CURTIE!!!!!!!!

the fact that you may be right is of course nonimportant under the circumstances since the men in white coats are coming to take you away ha ha.....

:xoxo: Do you need a hug???

no. he needs antibiotics. :distress:

You mean antidepressants right?

no, antibiotics. to kill the sad germs. didn't you go to nursing school???

..and a hug...:nod:

...but Xanax, Klonopin, Lithium are so much more fun to take than Penicillin. :cool:

Why not both :cool:

the real problem is that you've built up a tolerance for penicillin after contracting all those social diseases ...

for Genital warts? me thinkee not............although a good dose of RUM might help...
