Ray (2004)

Instant Comments:
hmm did he make that up? if not, I for some reason figured he was blind since birth
hehe "are you blind?"
huh he said he's blind since age 7
Quincy Jones... the Quincy Jones?
hehe mama ain't finished yet
huh what was that about (water in luggage and hand)
he's the star, can't believe the guitar player would dare continue being the leader
the self hug
"I ain't the one playing you man"
scratch a liar find a thief
his mama told him scratch a liar find a thief
damn that's cold (deserted by the bandmate)
huh, someone has his back (count again)
huh water and hand again
omg. how traumatizing... (the mom asked why didn't you call me and... I feel like that's kind of the common assumption parents have in giving young children too much responsibility; an oversight on the parents' part)
damn shooting heroine; he had no reservation
hehe the last girl
Wilbur's tired of paying in singles... willing to let Ray go
Atlantic Records
hehe country dumb
hehe "nobody wants another Nat King Cole"
"The Mess Around"
"how'd you pick me out?" "I can hear like you can see"
great memory... his mom taught him well
gospel music (lol I thought of Kanye... I didn't realizd that perhaps Kanye sampled Ray Charles... let's see) [yes "Gold Digger" includes a sample of "I Got a Woman" by Ray Charles]
oh no drug addiction continues
she's gonna find his drugs
poor Bea...
sad face... "I ain't no fool"
quite a flashback he had
I wonder why Ethel takes it so personally [oh I had it confused, the first person was Mary Ann Fisher. Then with the introduction of the Cookies, Ray was beginning to have an affair with Margie. As such, Mary Ann got jealous and left]
hehe ain't nothing free in this world but Jesus
lol this Margie is a bit crazy for being the sidechick...
own my masters
throwing up... uh oh
as I figured, pregnant
that's amazing. he tried something brand new and the audience loved it
hard to watch Jeff leave... not sure I understand what was going through Ray's mind. Jeff implied it was [Joe Adams's] fault in manipulating Ray and putting ideas into his head but... are we gonna find that out?
drugs again...
she got him straight with the music
rehab
