The people will never be ready

when we negotiate, it's "greedy"

Grace Jones and Christoper Walken as Bond Villains. Pinch me it was great.

PULL UP TO THE BUMPER, BAY-BEEEEH: Grace Jones is getting a documentary! Grace Jones—The Musical Of My Life will be produced by the BBC and has been described as "a cinematic journey into the private and public worlds of Grace Jones, mixing intimate personal footage with unique staged musical sequences."
