Future Tyler Perry Movies Trending Topic

Once again, I have crafted a social experiment so silly, it’s flat-out BRILLIANT. That experiment: The #futureTylerPerrymovie hashtag over on Twitter. GangstarrGirl made a tweet about Tyler Perry movies, I came up with a the tag, and before long, people all over the country were making up funny titles of films that Tyler Perry might one day produce.     Read the rest of this entry »

I Am Convinced…

I am convinced that BET will air any movie whatsoever, as long as it’s stars black people. Right now, I see that “Sunset Park” is on. I know that I watched this movie when I was little…but I remember NOTHING about it. Usually, that means I made some kind of sub-conscious effort to erase it from my memory.

I logged onto Yahoo early this Saturday morning, and I learned an interesting fact: My man Samuel L.

Finally Saw The Dark Knight

The other day, I finally joined the rest of the free world and saw The Dark Knight. Overall, I thought it was a great movie. The only problem to me, was the film’s length. I am planning to write the director a letter, requesting that his next damn-near 3 hour movie come with a brief intermission, like theater productions.

Once the effects of the soft drink from hell start to kick in, it sucks. When a movie is as good as The Dark Knight, you do not want to miss a single scene. Since theaters do not give you a TiVo button, and you cannot ask the guy on the projector to press rewind, whatever you miss while taking a leak will have to wait until the DVD is released. Or until you run into the bootleg man…Whichever happens first. Read the rest of this entry »
