Sams from Lean On Me got arrested for drugs in real life. Looks like SOMEONE should have been listening to the speech Joe Clark gave on the rooftop! I’m not gonna make too many jokes about the actor who later went on to play Steel from Juice, and later, co star in future BET Blackbuster [...]
Beats Rhymes and Life Tonight
by ListenToLeon on 15. Jul, 2011 in 90's, A Tribe Called Quest, Film, Hip Hop
I’m going to see Beats Rhymes and Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest tonight since it’s opening in DC. I had a chance to see it last weekend in Los Angeles, but well, liquor happened, and I didn’t make it to the theater. This time, I bought my tickets in advance. I hate [...]
Diary of a 6-Foot Tall Black Man Dressed Up Like a Mad Black Woman
by ListenToLeon on 22. Apr, 2011 in Black, Film, Movies, Tyler Perry
Obviously, this is Tyler Perry discussion. A few days ago, one of my white co-workers approached me, the lone black guy in the office, and asked “What’s your opinion on Tyler Perry movies?” I already know what you’re thinking, and before you guys start asking if I went to Human Resources about it, let me [...]
Diversifying My Hustle
by ListenToLeon on 15. Mar, 2011 in Barber, Family, Film, Money, Restaurant
Today is my Uncle Tommy’s 70th birthday, and yesterday would have been my Dad’s 61st. When I was younger, my Dad encouraged me to learn as many different hustles as possible so that I could always make money in a tight spot. That entrepreneurial hustler spirit is part of the reason this blog was created. [...]
A Karate Kidpiphany
by ListenToLeon on 07. Feb, 2011 in 80's, baseball, DC, Film, Martial Arts, Youtube
I watched the Karate Kid after the Super Bowl last night. I know, random. This choice was made after thinking about a statement my friend Tajh made about how much popular culture these days is a lazy collection of 80′s rehashes. I agree with him, yet the conversation still made me nostalgic enough to go [...]
The Most Adorable Ass Whipping Ever
by ListenToLeon on 12. Jan, 2011 in Film, Movies, Youtube
I need to find out where go in order to buy a Lego Bruce Lee from Enter The Dragon. I’d also get a Jim Kelly and Mr Han so I could reenact key scenes from the film at my desk when I’m bored. Then again that’s probably not a smart idea. I’d hate for my [...]
Glenn Close Looks Like George Washington
by ListenToLeon on 07. Jan, 2011 in Film, George Washington, Mom
My mother does not like Glenn Close. It’s not like she’s ever met the woman; Mom simply cannot stand the sight of her. Whenever a Glenn Close film or show comes on TV, my Mom will say “That’s a HARD looking woman! I can’t believe anyone finds her attractive.” Last weekend, the Harrison Ford movie [...]
