Do You Know Where You're Going To?
I'll be catching up on movies this weekend, and Casino Royale is at the top of my list. My taste in Bond movies puts From Russia With Love in the Number One spot. Let's see if Daniel Craig lives up to the hype.
RAG has apparently given Dreamgirls his movie-money thumbs up (see below). Personally, I was always more of a fan of Stax-Volt than Motown. Diana Ross has always been my least favorite Motown artist (Stevie Wonder being tops), so I'm not really interested in seeing a fictionalized account of her travails. However, I WOULD pay good money to see outtakes from the Motown 25th Anniversary special that aired in 1983. Apparently, Ms. Ross got into a tiff with the other Supremes that didn't make it to the airwaves. Paul Mooney has sworn off the "N" word, but hopefully Diana Ross drunk-driving jokes are still in his repertoire.

I'll probably never own any of Ross' albums, either. However, the cover of her first solo album always made wonder if Ms. Ross made it to Bangladesh ahead of George Harrison and Bob Dylan.
