Yes, I have and really enjoyed it. The miniseries version was horrid. I'm hoping that the film turns out better, but I'm skeptical it will be too watered down from Oates' book.

On another note, if you haven't picked up Fragments yet, I highly recommend it. It's a collected work of Marilyn's own writings. Based on this, I found it pretty amazing how accurately Oates embodied Marilyn's "voice" in Blonde.
