Thanks for recommending the baton one-hilarious

She definitely became the Queen. I watched an interview with Helen and she said she didn't want to imitate her, she just wanted to capture her complexity and essence. You'll have to let me know how you like Dreamgirls. I think I'm alone, I wasn't blown away. Maybe because I saw the Broadway show years ago and was literally BLOWN AWAY by it. I even own the original tape of the Broadway cast and played that tape (yes it was a while ago) solid for about 6 months. It was produced by a guy named David Foster. I fell asleep during the movie and wasn't even interested enough to go back and rewatch what happened when napping. The singing was wonderful, however, the story lost something on the bigscreen, the characters weren't as interesting. Maybe if I hadn't been so hyped and had nothing to compare it to.

:F_05BL17blowkiss: You're so sweet. Are you playbiller's sister for real or in spirit?

Sterling Heights was Johnny Trudell I think

I didn't expect an answer. Hee. I haven't been watching this season but I do like Big Brother, is is good? Has it just started or is late into it?

I just saw the Queen the other day. She was excellent and most deserving IMO. Haven't seen the others. I thought Jennifer Hudson did an excellent job in Dreamgirls, her singing was superb and her facial expressions were great but I'm not so sure about getting an award for acting. Cate Blanchett's performance was far superior but the movie was about an icky subject so maybe that's why she didn't get it.

:F_05BL17blowkiss: Well, I can see this is a popular thread. May as well get my count up. On the off chance someone sees this and watched the first show of the new FX show Damages starring Glen Close, please respond as I'm a little unsure as to who did what (reading the boards and watching at the same time, you lose part of the story). It looks like a great show though and Glen Close is so wickedly evil.

Just watched it and I do love the vantage point and watching him mouth the words is priceless. I can hear him better watching this one. So many great posts and was going to respond to them but am at work so in a hurry. I am always late for the conversation but wanted to add that I think the lyrics for LAA are subtly powerful. I also seem to recall somewhere that he said he didn't write songs because he is too literal - so my question is how would he know that unless he's tried it. For me songs can be literal, I don't like trying to figure out what lyrics mean. Also I remember someone that went to the David Foster gala in Vancouver that Jaymes said Clay was a wonderful lyricist - so how would she know that and why would she encourage him to write a song. I don't need him to be a song writer if he doesn't want to but I would be thrilled if he did - well, maybe depending on how they turned out. I just think LAA is an indication that he has the potential. Finally This really jumped out at me. It's so good to see the joy factor is back. He really is quite resilient.

I'm going to remove my post as I don't want to say anything that might attract an unwanted element here. FearofH20 - I don't think that makes you a pod person, just intuitive. We all know there are some antifans out there who are quite obsessed. They are nobodies and only have power when fans give it to them.

Yes, he does, I love the photos of him when he doesn't know he's being photographed. He just looks so relaxed and normal and his hair always looks good in them (when he doesn't have his silly looking bucket hat on). I bought one of those last year and I wouldn't be caught dead in it. Well, I do wear it to mow the lawn. As for the "rotting souls" I thought Clay apologized for that remark on GMA so I guess I don't understand why it keeps being brought up. It was a sweeping statement made when he was hurting, he's human and flawed just like the rest of us, and forgivable. ETA - Are those hooped earrings of Angela's like for pierced ears. She's going to tear her earlobe if they are.

I just got home from work. Thanks for the reports and yes, Clayzor, I am ecstatic as you know how much I love SSTBTHW. Jerome actually tackled the guy Poor guy but then what with all the crazies, Jerome can't be too careful. {{lickiest}} So glad you had a great concert. Will check in tomorrow for your recap.

Someone just heard a soundcheck of SSTBTHW. I hope he does it in Florida.

Saw this on CV. I'd love to hear him sing this live.

Paging, Clayzor. Download IWTKWLI from canfly. Too bad she lost her focus on the zoom.

:medium-smiley-070: I rushed over to watch that. He sure got into Beat It didn't he. And his party all nite I love him, pouchy tummy and all.

Thanks for the review. Have fun in Canadaigua.

A chill just ran through me reading this. We never know, do we, how decisions we make or even that annoying phone call while trying to leave the office early may have kept one out of the 5 car pile up on the freeway. Nice to finally see a review even though it's written by someone who doesn't get it. Most men don't. I'll take it because I like the line where he said he was like a beloved teddy bear sitting next to the young girl's flouncy canopied bed. Hee! The guy saw young girls - I know Clay make me feel like I'm 12 sometimes.

{{{Lickiest}}}- thank God for some good news for you, sounds like you could use some. Reading what you have gone through helps me to look at the problems with my mom in a new light. They're not so bad after all.

:7252: CarolinaClay and Playbiller :F_05BL17blowkiss:

Ewan MacGreggor EEEEEEEE!!!!!!! I adore him and Moulin Rouge. My sister hated it but I bought it, I loved it so much. Have you seen Baz Luhrman's Strictly Ballroom? It's a little on the hokey side, the Australian actors remind me of my Aussie aunts and uncles. I liked it though, the dance scenes were great and I enjoyed looking at Baz early work. I haven't seen For Your Consideration but love Best In Show. Thanks for the other movies, I haven't seen them but will check them out. I rented The Last King of Scotland. Forest Whitaker is amazing as Idi Amin. I'm crushing on the little Scottish guy James McAvoy. He's not like hunky and good looking, but so talented and cute and was really good in this film. He's also starring in Becoming Jane as one of Jane Austen's suitors. I also saw Blood Diamond. Leo was really good but Djimon Hounsou was spectacular. I love movies, my other passion.

The visuals she used are gah!!! I just wish she had used Cosima's version of Too Lost in You as I think her version is more sultry. http://youtube.com/watch?v=QFquzWfOzKs

:F_05BL17blowkiss: thanks for the warm welcome. Wow, love all the pretties. Thanks for the link to the OPP song. I like that song. The Paula Abdul video-it's really kind of scary how much videos and music have changed since the 90s. Even the OPP one seems tame.

WOW, some great photos. Karen Eh, your B&W is yummy - looks great as my desktop. Frisco was a blast. I've always said I never wanted him to do rap, but I sure wish he'd do more of the OPP song with the crotch grab. I love it.

Why thank you jmh123 and playbiller. We've got some night owls, I thought nobody was on here.

LOL, I should've done my mother's favorite joke - Injured man to nurse - Did I come here to die? No, sir, you came here yesterdie.
