How excited am I for the new Bessie Smith biopic featuring Queen Latifah? SO EXCITED AS THIS CAPS LOCK CLEARLY INDICATES, DUH. Adding to my excitement is that it is being directed by out filmmaker Dee Rees, who gave us the excellent “Pariah.” IS THERE AN EXCITEMENT LEVEL ABOVE CAPS LOCK? That’s how excited I am. Hurry up and give this thing a release date, HBO Films.
