Dreamgirls


Beyonce didn't win at the Golden Globes last night. How do I go on?

Last Friday night Allyson (the hero of our story) wanted me to go see Dreamgirls with her. Here's how our conversation went.

Act I

Allyson: Lets go see Dreamgirls tonight.

Corky: Isn't Beyonce in that?

Allyson: Yes

Corky: Sorry, I don't do Beyonce movies.

Allyson: Fine I'll go with out you.

After thinking about the fact that Allyson (who likes football) was going to put up with essentially 48 hours of non stop football, and the fact that she's pregnant, I decided I'd better go with her to see Dreamgirls.

Act II

In the car

Corky:
You do realize that Beyonce is in this movie, right?

Allyson: Fuck you Corky!

Act III

Walking into the theatre
Corky: (Mumbling under my breath) I can't believe that I'm going to see a Beyonce movie

Allyson: What did you say?

Corky: Nothing dear...

Act IV
The drive home

Corky: That movie was amazing. Eddie Murphy better win an Oscar for his performance.

Allyson: Jenifer Hudson was amazing, Effie White was my favorite character.

Corky: Jamie Fox is incredible in everything he does.

Corky: This musical was 50 times better than Chicago! Not better than Grease 2 but definitely very good.

Corky: (sheepishly) Allyson?

Allyson: Yes, Corky?

Corky: You were right as usual, Dreamgirls was a really good movie.

Allyson: I know Corky

Corky: Can I have an ice cream cone when we get home?

Don't get me wrong, Beyonce is really beautiful. Right after I quit dipping I had a little problem... My salivary glands were still producing an inordinate amount of saliva, and It was hard for me to go out in public because I was drooling on myself constantly. I finally realized that by looking at a picture of Beyonce for a couple of minutes I could drain just enough drool ( about a milk jug's worth) in order to function in society for a couple of hours. Enough time to go to work and get my stuff done etc.

But isn't it just a little more than coincidental that Beyonce was playing a character loosely based on Dianna Ross? Didn't Beyonce take a moment to think about this before she accepted the role of Deena Jones? Dreamgirls paints Dianna Ross in a little more favorable light then what history does but that's Hollywood. We all know the truth Beyonce. I mean Beyonc'e. Damn, I hate when I do that!
