I think with the current release of the latest Ice Cube/Tracy Morgan flick and the preconceived negative notions I have about that flick (Link), it must be said that I don't run out and watch a film just because it's a black production or if it stars a predominately black cast.
I used to think something was wrong with me because I never got the urge to watch those "epic" or "era defining" black films when everyone else around me couldn't wait to see Dead Presidents, Love Jones (don't kill me, I just don't go for romantic comedies), Brown Sugar (Bitch, if you say one more thing 'bout hip hop!) or Crooklyn (I'm still confused about that one). I'm not saying that the inclusion of black film makers and/or black actors automatically yield a bad product, but I do know that we don't all share the same experiences because of our skin color, so please excuse me for hating Soul Food.
My sister wanted me to go and see The Great Debaters with her the other day, I had to give her the .
Someone made a perfect synopsis of one of the films that I personally cannot stand:
Let's start with Waiting to Exhale
I DESPISE this movie with a passion. Why? Because every last one of them bitches were stupid as hell. (I look at shit out of the box and for what it is-ie: Aidan from Sex and the City was an ass, yet folks applaud him)
Four successful black women and three of them couldn't use a condom? Robins chicken headed ass-UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Then Savannah fucking a married dude AGAIN, fucking a dude who made a date with her and had his other date on the date and YET SHE FUCKS HIM no kinda condom in sight? Then Bernadine-fucks another MARRIED DUDE while she is whining about her husbands infidelity and then LAYS UP WITH ANOTHER MARRIED MAN whose wife is dying.
Fuck
Outta
Here!
There is Gloria. Now COME ONNNNNNNNNNN, in the entire state of Arizona she couldn't find anyone else to fuck except her gay baby daddy?
Then at the end of the movie they end up with themselves? Them bitches didn't even REALLY like each other!
Hated it! - Thanks, BigSixxRaven
I just survived watching Belly the other day, so it's good to know that I know that I know what the hell I'm talking about, then again, I love Pootie Tang, so what the hell do I know?
