I'm such a sucka for this mess, I can't believe myself esp considering that I used to hate this movie,,,,talk about a flip script.

Yay I like this movie.Diana's performance is over-the-top,but you gotta love her.Nobody plays the bitchy diva like Diana! The car crash scene with Anthony Perkins is OUTRAGEOUS! lol

I give it a slight yay! Lady Sings The Blues was a better role for Ross.

Absolutely yay!!!

LOVE it

Thats the thing though, after Lady Sings The Blues I swore I'd never see another Diana Ross mess again,,,,but this movie broke my promise

The DRESSES OMG the fashion is enough to seal it for any girl,,,,and I was like "Not bad, Ms.Ross " when I learned that she was the fashion designer for the movie.

the theme song is one of Diana's best songs If I compiled a list of my favorite songs by her,it would be in the Top 5:


Do you know where you're going to
do you like the things that life is showing you
where are you going to...do you know?

Do you get what you're hoping for
when you look behind you there's no open doors
what are you hoping for....do you know?

that song takes me back to the mid-70s....there were alot of songs like this on the radio back then....big,schmaltzy,dramatic pop ballads Diana truly shines on this number!

Thats the least favorite song from the soundtrack. I love the rest of the tunes though,,,Michael Massar ain't to be sniffed @, I'm supriced he didn't make it to be a big name despite the fact that he wrote SO many classic tunes.

There's a song in the soundtrack called "The Ideal Girl",,,has my heart in lock & key Dare I say, the birth of the disco extravaganza?

I remember double features! You could go to the theatre and see two movies together.Today's kids don't have that opportunity.I remember in 1977,I saw "Car Wash" with "Normal,Is That You?",a crazy Redd Foxx movie.

Harlepolis said:

do you have the soundtrack? It's hard to find.

SoulAlive said:

Sure do

Fucking YAY, for the clothes alone! & the bitchy attitude, & the bizarre car scene w/ Mr. Psycho This poster is fabulous!!

That movie was completely nuts.

Yay.

I studied Fashion Design. I drool over the fashion stuff.I even have Mahogany posters and photos in my Art room

Best part of the movie, IMO.

I LOVE that movie!

Anthony Perkins was a total lunatic in this movie,lol.Remember that crazy scene where he pulled a gun on Billy Dee Williams?!

SoulAlive said:

That's what really freaked me out and remember that part where Diana put that wax on herself at the party? What was that scene all about?

I'd say Yay. It was a decent movie even though I'm not a fan of Miss Ross.

Its a classic! I love any film with Diana Ross in it.

I give it a Yay too. I liked it, but I especially liked me some Billy Dee!

CalhounSq said:

Yeah!!

I recently rented this at a place that had a ton of VHS tapes (this was right before the movie hit DVD, too) and boy, it's a nightmare. I guess if you're into both Diana and camp, it's great, though. The acting is so over the top but the "Do You Know Where You're Going To" music video montage part was the highlight.

I love, love, love this movie. I wasn't alive when it came out, but I had the pleasure to see it at the Castro Theatre on the big screen and it was amazing. it is over the top, but that was the best part! It wouldn't have been the same if Miss ross tried to be subtle.

I love it, especially the wildness about it.....the fashion, the parties, the beautiful people. I've always wanted to live "The Glamorous Life". That bitch was crazy as hell for giving it all up for some man. Hell, keep the job....you can find some dick anywhere. If she had any sense, she would have stayed with those wrinkled old dicks for the money and got her some good dick on the side.

The ending was something else wasn't it?

She went back to the ghetto and lived happily ever after with the man she loved...

Oh and I hate Billy Dee Williams they should've went to their 1st choice(Marvin Gaye) although I'm not sure whether he was a good actor or not,,,but I just can't staaaaand the former

I always though ole Billie Dee was fine. I didn't like his natural hair in that movie though. I like Billie with his suave wavy hair. I wouldn't go live in no ghetto with him though, not matter what he looked like. I would sleep with him and send his ass back to the ghetto while I went back to my mansion with some old trick.

Harlepolis said:

Wow,were they really considering Marvin Gaye for this film?! That might have been interesting.

silverchild said:

I don't know why Diana poured candle wax on herself at that party I guess that must have been a 70s trend? lol

SoulAlive said:

Its sexually suggestive,,,which is just what any crazy party needs
