PrintableOh, and I would SERIOUSLY doubt the accuracy of the movie! Never trust anything spoken in the presence of an erection.

There was supposed to be another Chess movie in the works. That would have been a failure because Beyoncé and Etta have completely different tones, and it would have been hilariously clear. It also would have been embarrassing. Also, Darnell Martin had her (as well as the rest of the cast) sing "like Beyoncé, but with the sensibility of the music from that period", not like Etta. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi...es[/color] It was a major disconnect to me when in the story line she is supposed to do a take of "I'd Rather Go Blind" that soooo heart-wrenching but instead of soul, all she can manage is hollering. Just awful....totally took me *out of* the movie! So, in that respect, her being cast as Etta was a failure to me. But hey, she produced the movie so.... [color=#ff6600:992a818e86]Please explain where there was this "hollering" that you font of.  [/color][Edited 1/22/10 3:13am] iSnatch, iRead, iDrag. For Beysus and in general. Simple. | |

Skip the movie, and go out and buy some Etta James, Muddy Waters, etc. albums
