Dreamgirls
Jeff and I were invited to catch one of the limited engagement pre-national release showings of "Dreamgirls" being held that Ziegfeld Theater in mid-town last night. For the $25 ticket we each bought, we got to see the movie in reserved seats (which RAWKS!), collected a limited edition, signed and numbered official movie lithograph (to be sold on eBay shortly), and a commemorative program that was all glossy. Also, I was seated in front of some Dreamgirl fanboys who literally "Woof, woof, woofed" through several acts as if we were at some beer-soaked, tailgating sporting event in New Jersey. For God's sake, we're homo's and it's DREAMGIRLS...in a movie theater. Who the hell are you asking to let the dogs out?
All that being said and only being eleven and in the wilds of Ohio at the time of its Broadway debut, I was pleasantly, thoroughly entertained through the whole movie. Everything they say about Jennifer Hudson's performance was pretty right-on for me. The girl can sing. I had gone into the movie expecting Beyonce's role to be a throw-away, something they offered to her just to get her name in the headlines, but again, was surprised at the work she did to carry out her part. She by no means deserves the top billing she's contractually getting, but I feel justified because Jennifer is blowing everyone away, whether she's top billed or not.
Between savage Mayan cannibals or snazzy divas in glittery, shiny dresses, go for the girls, boys.

Glad you liked Dream Girls. They are making such a big deal out of it for so long. At least you liked it! We happen to own the Ziegfeld. Wish I knew you were going. Not sure if I could have gotten you anything, but I would have given it a shot!!
