Some lighthearted news on a slow day.
Janis could sure belt the blues back in the day, but TWO movies about her? C'mon.

God rest her soul....but Joplin "sang" like she had throat cancer before she died.

Pink better start slopping at the trough if she's going to portray a realistic Janice...

Well, I'm not crazy about Pink playing Janis Joplin, but it could be worse. At least it's not Britney Spears in the role!

Not Courtney Love??

Eww! BAD idea.
If I were doing the film, it would have been in the can a long time ago and would have starred Lili Taylor as Janis.
Not someone whose previous acting experience was a cameo in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (and a pox on the idiot who opted for that title).

I have no idea who "Pink" is.
Back in the late 60s/early 70s, when it seems like rock stars were dying every week - Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Keith Moon, etc., I was convinced that the CIA was knocking them off. Of course, I was young and stupid back then - it never occurred to me that the fact they were all drinking and drugging 24/7 might have been a contributing factor to their early demise.

at least Pink is a working-class girl who has struggled. I think she'll make a good Joplin. She's smarter than the average pop-chick, and has a good work ethic.

I never cared about Janis Joplin and care even less about Pink.

This movie has been in development for years. Why not Pink?

I think Madonna would be great as Janis Joplin. She's got the looks -- now. (BTW, who's Janis Joplin?) :-]
