On the IMDB message boards, someone posted there was a test screening for the movie in Emeryville, CA. This was confirmed on the IMDB boards by someone close to the movie and this is what they said happened:
*There was sustained applause from almost the entire audience at the end of AND I AM TELLING YOU.... A few people down front actually stood up.
*There was sustained applause from almost the entire audience at the end of the movie.
*There was sustained applause from almost the entire audience for Eddie's and Jennifer's 'cards' at the end of movie.
Jennifer and Eddie get the most reaction yet they're the ones going to be pushed in the Supporting categories come Oscar time.
Very interesting....
LOL!
Jimmy IS definitely supporting but Effie Melody White ain't nobody's supporting character. She'd probably laugh at the mere thought of it.

Ever since RENT and The Producers failed after hardly making any cuts to the score, I've given up caring what they do in the stage to film transfer. I trust Bill Condon a lot, especially since Chicago was so good and every cut made sense to me.
So far, everything I've seen for this movie I've really, really liked.

The Deena/Effie reunion clip that they showed was probably cut...the way Beyonce speaks those lines is so ghetto. Deena is sophisticated, not some around-the-way hoodrat. Supposedly it was replaced with a better take on the scene.
I could've worded it better. What I meant by saying that was that staying faithful to fans obviously didn't put seats in theaters for those movies. I'm just ready for a different approach after those two bombs.
I have a bad habit of not proof-reading 90% of my posts before posting them, forgive me.

Stop worrying if your vision is new.
Let others make that decision-
They usually do.
You keep moving on.
Anything you do,
Let it come from you.
Then it will be new.
Give us more to see...
