Is there already a thread on this?

While I really can’t stand beyonce and think it’s damn near blasphemous to put her in the role of etta james, I’m still quite excited to see this. I’m going with a friend tonight.

Anyone else seen it yet? Am I late on this? Early? I’m so out of it these days.

I just saw the release date was 12/5/08.

Whoops. I'm way late.

Shut up!

Although, this is very indicative of where I am when it comes to pop culture these days. I really have no clue what's going on.

I'm going to get a rocking chair and take up knitting again.

HamsterHuey said:

i had no idea it was out either

applekisses said:

No, no. It's well deserved.


btw - I don't think I thanked you for the lovely Xmas card. That was downright rude of me. I'm sorry.

Oh, no problem. (I forgot I sent it )

If I could afford to travel out of the country for a movie I'd be out every other weekend!

I looooove Etta James. LOVE her. The old stuff, anyway.

I really dislike Beyonce, though. So I think I'm going to end up angry.

CarrieMpls said:

I adore Etta as well Beyonce playing her annoyed me, but atleast it seems that she tried to step out of herself just a tad...They could have gotten a real actress to really do her justice though

Tell us what you though after you see it. I went out and got a Muddy Waters album and I really like it

thekidsgirl said:

Will do!

CarrieMpls said:

i love etta james too! have all her music!

Next time you are in Chicago, visit the Chess Records Museum.

PopeLeo said:

I'm amazed we're even on the list!
I'm really looking forwards to going to see ET!

What is this magic!?

CarrieMpls said:

I am in complete agreeance with you. But, you know they had to sell tickets

HamsterHuey said:

Jeffrey Wright is killer, as usual. Beyonce? Meh.

Vendetta1 said:

Ooh! I wanna! I wanna!

Vendetta1 said:

I will HAVE to.

Do you know I've been to Chicago, like, 7 million times and every time I go I don't see much more than the inside of a club (for a show or dancing) and a few restaurants? Oh, and maybe a few cute stores? And Grant Park?

It's sad.

I lived there for 39 years and still haven't been to the Art Museum.

I so suck.
