Kissy, no need to apologise for your flawed tastes in musical matters... well, not when I'm in a good mood, anyway :-) Naaaaaaaaaaaah, I must say, having heard that B. song quite a few times now, I actually kind of like it - it's just that ... I hate that. So, the official party line remains that it's just a stupid song.
As for the films... well, I was sort of intrigued by Blood Diamond (but then, I've never hated Leo - I guess it helps that I never thought of him as Man-hunk/eye-candy Leo; to me, he's always been Shiny Full Moon (baby) face Leo, who tends to go for interesting roles/interesting films, cf. Romeo & Juliet, What's eating Gilbert Grape, This boy's life, and obviously Aviator & Catch me if you can + I really really really WANT to see The Departed) - haven't seen it, though. Nor have I seen Dreamgirls, but I do want to see that one, as well. Leasle: how was Eddie Murphy in that one - he's supposed to be extraordinary in comparison to the usual action/comedy flick that features him. As you say, I suspect the music to be just great. Haven't heard J. Hudson, as yet, but sounds extremely promising.
On another note: will you people stop whining about things being too American/too Hollywood? In my view, things are either good/enjoyable, or they aren't. Why does it always have to be qualified 'well, for an H. movie, ...'. I understand your position - and I'm well aware that I have a comparable stance on pop music, but - seeing as I insist on indulging my double standards - it's starting to really annoy me that simply every film seems to bear that qualification with you. Even when it's not an American film, you'll be going: 'Oh, it wasn't as good as I'd expected, seeing that it wasn't a Hollywood production and all'.
By all means, keep it up, if you want - but do expect me to do some whining of my own, if and when that happens ;-)
I'll be posting again, soon, with news of my own.
