Beyonce Documentary Premiering on HBO in February
2012-11-27
[An Nahar] Beyonce is getting personal.

HBO announced Monday that a documentary about the Grammy-winning singer will debut Feb. 16, 2013. Beyonce is directing the film, which will include footage she shot herself with her laptop.

The network said the documentary will include "video that provides raw, unprecedented access to the private entertainment icon and high-voltage performances." It will also feature home videos of her family and of the singer as a new mother and owner of her company, Parkwood Entertainment.

Beyonce said in a statement the untitled project was "personal" to her. She is married to Jay-Z. They had their first child, daughter Blue Ivy Carter, in January.

The 31-year-old will perform at the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show on Feb. 3, 13 days before the documentary airs.

#9  Many people who read and like Tolkien and C.S. Lewis haven't read the novels by the other Inkling, Charles Williams. Williams was quirky, but one of his first ones, Shadows of Ecstasy, is relevant here .....

#8  I have a much more productive use of my time that evening; I'll be watching oil paint dry.

#6  The more I watch Diane Sawyer the more aware I become. Once you see past her smooth veneer it really is scary.

#5  "This is the news?" I asked. "Ask me if I care."
Cancer is scary. 50% of the people you know will have a brush with it, if not be directly killed by it. While you were resting in an alpha state, Diane's 'facts' were injected. I bet the background theme for the ad that followed is still in your head.

Tribal chants, however glitterized, with a subliminal beat to increase receptiveness, reprogram or reinforce existing audience proclivities with the repeated chorus.

It's all manipulation. If not interested, be VERY aware.

#4  Just like last night when I happened to be sitting in front of the TV when Diane Sawyer broke into a little story about Oprah Winfrey's breast cancer scare.

"This is the news?" I asked. "Ask me if I care."

#3  I'll watch just to see what sort of reception she gets. But she isn't just dead to me- she never was alive. I ignore all "celebrities."

#2  I think I'll give a miss to Bouncy and Jay-zee also. Not only is Showtime not in my cable package, but she is one of the Obama-adoring celebutards that I am boycotting from now until the end of time.

#1  Unfortunately I'll miss her performance as I will be doing something else that day. Not certain what, but I'm sure I'll be doing something else. Nor will I be on hand to watch the National Felon League's Super Bowl.
