Movies I Want To See.

I haven't seen a good sci/fi movie in awhile.

Especially with a black star in it.

So I am looking forward to these two right here.

First up is a mix of two of my favorite genres, zombie and cowboy movies.



Wes is the only black actor who stays making action movies and thank God cause the new crop of actors are not convincing anyone that they can play a hero.

Number two is Denzel going back to an action flick, I cant remember the last one he did.


The Book Of Eli looks like a winner, hell I cant remember the last Denzel movie that sucked all around for me to justify seeing this one.


Now this one right here is a documentary about a topic that will never die so long as black people walk the earth.


I am curious how this will come off.

Is it going to ridicule the notion of good hair, the hair product industry?

Or is it going to play the academic role and just state the facts?

Chris Rock is fueling this so I am thinking a little bit of all.

****Karma is a B%$#^ Vol. 1



The little girl I blessed on her graduation day and seemed to have attitude?

Flunked the reading part of her exam that is required to test out of her grade.

On one side I feel bad for her to be stuck in summer school, on the other hand..........

****Karma is a B$%^$%& Vol. 2


The Ex?

Word came back that her cysts are flaring up and putting her in sever pain, between you and me I see a good chance she is going to have to get a hysterectomy to settle that issue.

And to top it off a mutual friend sent me a picture to my phone of her hair which is falling out in clumps.

Pretty bad looking too.

Don't feel any which way about it so I think thats a good thing.

I may test my karma out and post that pic......


****Classes started up yesterday and I am already sick of it.

This time they played slick and didn't have the assigned textbooks for classes listed.

Which means no shopping online for a deal, which means stuck paying $122 for a used softcover 350 page chemistry book.

If education is the KEY than why don't they make it f@#$% FREE?!

****Jobs I will never do again...

Surgical tech for any gynecological procedure.



Ever..Ever....EVER AGAIN!

The things that I have seen in that OR no man has any business seeing, in fact I question the sanity of any male doctor who would work in that field of medicine.

If there was ever was a reason to demand all little girls pay attention in school and ship them off to Med school it's so they can work on their own broken coochies.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the VajJay is a beautiful thing but only at certain angles and under the right circumstance.

If not that mutha can be out right scary and dare I say disgusting, to think were my mouth has been when I recall some of those operations.

I was in the OR assisting a doctor who was supposed to take a small biopsy of some cysts that this woman had growing in her uterus, now Gyn and Proc are considered "dirty" procedures so not much emphasis is put in sterility but your still expected to keep a clean ship.

Well the Doctor decided she was going to do the operation in her flip flops, problem was she chose a very ripe cysts for the biopsy.

She burst it making the incision and the next thing you know this funky fluid the exact color and thickness of nacho cheese comes pouring out......


......and splashes all over feet, she tries to get up and back off and winds up slipping in the mess.

That was all I needed to see, from that day on I made sure to trade off on any Gyn procedure.

****Forgot to mention me and Ms. GG went to see the Bodies Exhibit a while back.


It was interesting but it kept playing in my mind that this was a human being that I am looking at on display here.

Yeah it's a learning tool and the deceased gave the OK, (I think), but it's still a bit unnecessary and morbid if you ask me.

Hell I'll go on to say out right disrespectful, there was nothing up there that they couldn't manufacture and show.

Which means the real appeal is ogling some ones stripped down corpse out on display.

That is a bit much.

**** What Im Rockin...........





The K'Naan joint is hot to death!!

I hate buying albums because a lot of these artist are straight up thieves.

If it's not a CD with two or three singles and the rest of fillers, it's a an album made up of singles with no cohesion, basically a compilation album.

I wont be robbed of my money least of all by a lazy ass musician who thinks he is "spitting hot fire".

I will rob you muth%#&%#, I'll bootleg the hell out of your trife butt and give it away for free.

So when ever I come across an artist that makes an effort I give him or her his respect, and if they do exceptional work I big them up.

K'Naan gets the big up treatment.

The beats are crisp and simple and a bit nostalgic inducing with track like "ABCs", (ft Chubb Rock), lamenting the lack of book education for the young forcing them to be street educated instead.

There's T.I.A (This Is Africa), a track where he lets "studio gangstas" know what hardcore life in Africa is really like.

Than there is the "If Rap Gets Jealous” (featuring Kirk Hammett of Metallica) were he defends his right to think outside the box of Hip-Hop.

And to top the whole thing off the man can spit hot fire, lyrically smooth and clever a breath of fresh air to what is just basically conversational raps we here now on the radios.

This album is not as earthy as his first album The Dusty Foot Philosopher, but it's easier to digest for the casual rap fan.

**** Why is it that when you don't want to be bothered that's when women decide they want to give you some play?

Any other time your chasing them all over the planet.

Four different women in my complex are all smiley in my face with the hellos and conversation mean while I'm walking around with a beware of mad dog, look on my face.

These same ones would give me the cold shoulder every time I say hello now you want to talk?

%^&%*$%^*&%#$@

**** This movie was damn good.



It's not as bad as you think it is, and it's not Boogie nights.

A pretty cool romantic comedy.

****Good......




No Good......




Leave the erotic athletic stuff to the experts.


****Man I am glad he is on the outs......



If there is anyone that can save the GOP's collective butt it's Colin.

Moderate, thoughtful, honest, decisive, has the ability to see past the tip of his nose and take into account the consequences of the decision you make.

He can be there Obama and turn the party around.

But like a crackhead who enjoys his high you cant save them if they don't want to be saved, you got to let them hit rock bottom.

Besides I question his desire to fight a war of ideals, he kept his mouth shut during the Bush and Cheney fiasco as dumb and evil led us down a path of ruin.

The good soldier doesn't make changes he instead keeps the status quo.

Movies I Want To See.

Hollywood suck these right here.....

......I am talking about both in the mouth at the same time.

There was only a handful of movies that made me want to open my wallet and go check them out.

Cause I tell you,between tickets, food, and the date, bootlegs look real good.

But here are some movies that could have me running to the theater.





Harriet Tubman story.


But I am talking about a good one, not some preachy BS, I am talking about some old Kill Bill meets Foxy Brown ish.

That's how you get the message across mix it up with some violence, bet you get people paying attention.

It attracts mine all the time.

And have Regina King play the role,


She just seems like the perfect fit.


Next is Jim Jones, no not the rapper for the young ones amongst you.

Jim Jones the preacher.



This role has Oscar written all over it if done right.

Were talking about charismatic white preacher with a predominantly black congregation who does something right by uplifting the people and than suddenly orchestrate one of the greatest mass killing ever.

The story needs to focus on the man, how he built up his church and what the hell went wrong, we need to see him go crazy on screen.

The role is best for some one with comedic experience I am thinking Dan Aykroyd.


Maybe I should become a producer, cause it's obvious Hollywood doesn't know what the F their doing.

What movies would you like to see?

Chick Friendly Porn

Now any single dude worth his salt has porn stashed away somewhere, it's comes standard in the resident where staying in, doesn't have to be a lot could, be in any media, pics, video, DVD, magazines what ever.

It's a must have in the house like a couch, or plates and cups.

And that pornography has almost always been created with men in mind, since men dollars are believed to fuel the billion dollar industry.

Now I have never given that much thought to that because......well.....it naked women doing nasty things in a ever so good way, I don't want to think about it!

That is until I was looking on Amazon for some blaxploitation movies to add to my collection when I came across a title on the net that was described as women friendly pornography, (you type in the word Afro in the search bar and your going to get all sorts of crazy ish).

Let me rephrase that, it was described as "independent art film", you can go either way with the word art now.

From my favorite artist Ernie Barnes beautiful depiction of black life, such as "Singing Sistahs".

To this lazy S.O.B. Andres Serrano's Piss Christ.


I mean really now, never mind the vulgarity of the symbolism if you think it such, lets focus on the pure, uncut, unmitigated gall of the idea to piss in a jar throw a crucifix in it and call it art, and than get critical acclaim for it!

Damn if that is not a hustler finding an easy mark for a beginners con!

My apologies I digress, back to the chick friendly porn.....

My first thought was porn is porn whats the difference?

But after giving it some serious thought I have to be honest and say that the majority of pornography out there are not women friendly, to be honest they are out right hostile if you think about it.

In almost every way, starting with the titles All Dat Azz, Hit It From The Back, and other imaginative names.

Than you move on to the women who although paid well in the major productions (if you can call them that), are easily disposable, and WAY OVER WORKED, (some of them have done movies in the thousands).

They are really no more than walking talking blow up dolls made to visually stimulate the viewer, who is predominantly male, by acting out the fantasy that are running through are head which we will than will than use as a blue print to how we express ourselves sexually with a woman foreplay be damned.

The only real consideration for women has happened in the last 10 to 15 years were the physical appearance of male stars have been improved to good looking super studs from the rock trolls that were working over the women before.

I can see how women might not enjoy porn, at least not as much as men.

So I decided to order the DVD and take a look to see what the difference was.

I got the DVD in less than two days, my kudos to Amazon and the seller, that was two weeks ago I just watched it Tuesday.

The movie is called Candida Royalle's AfroDite Superstar.

Candida Royalle is an American producer and director of couples-oriented pornography and a former pornographic actress.


"In 1980 she founded Femme Productions, with the goal of making erotica based on female desire. Her productions are aimed more to women and couples than to the standard pornographic audience of men, and they have been praised by therapists for portraying in general a more realistic and emotional picture of sex. "

The director is called Venus Hottentot whose real name is Abiola Abrams ,



she is described as a "feminist art school graduate who wanted to make a film that showed positive sexual representations of women of color to directly contrast the images in pop culture music videos, films and magazines, while also employing comedy and satire".

It should be noted that she also does some work for BET, just to put some perspective out there.

Together they created a movie that I did my very best to actually bottle up my testosterone and let out the feminine side out as they say to better give an objective eye to the movie,(if I got a feminine side you best believe she is an ultra butch lesbian on her way to a sex change operation).

This is what the product description reads;

Have you ever dreamed of being a superstar? AfroDite hasn't - not until she runs into CEO, the mogul's mogul of hip hop. Catapulted into the world of mega-stars with her best friend Isis in tow, AfroDite quickly becomes a top selling rapper and nothing can keep her down - not wardrobe malfunctions, not lip syncing fiasco, nothing! Well, almost nothing. Finding herself a little socially challenged in the love department, her secret crush CEO only seems to see dollar signs on her forehead. Will AfroDite get her man? And will super stardom turn out to be everything she never wished for?

???

Man I wanted to hurry up and send that mutha back to where ever Lifetime/chick lit/chick movie spawned this joint, express mail.

But no, I need to see this, I myself am tyring to be women friendly, so that one day when asked by a women "are you listening to me" I can say yes and really mean it.

So I grabbed a bottle of Haitian rhum popped in the flick.......I mean film......and took a seat.


Lets shorten the plot up.

The movie it's self is a low budget affair but I wasn't expecting Lord of the Rings XXX, the protagonist of the movie is AfroDite who is the daughter of a very successful music mogul, while out at with her friend Isis a rapper wannabe, played by former porn star India, the two put on a rap show performance that attracts the attention of CEO played by another porn veteran Mr. Marcus who want Afrodite to be on his label based on her looks.

She hearts him, he is about his business, all the while the movie critiques the music industry sincerity complete stars who have no talent, ghostwriters put in the back ground, fake gangster rappers and all.

The movie even uses dated pop news controversies like lip syncing, wardrobe malfunctions, talent women forced to work the back ground in male dominate industry.

That is the bones of the movie so here are some observations.

1- With the exception of Mr. Marcus and India this is a very unattractive cast.

This was confusing to me since porn usually goes out of it's way to cast beautiful women, the greater appeal to men's fantasy.

I could be wrong but I am sure women who watch porn don't mind attractive people having sex.

If I was to speculate I would guess that pretty people in porn are not used to actually having to act thus limiting options, but that doesn't sound right considering that the ones in this movie are lousy at acting as well.

2- Dialog, a whole lot of it complete with quotes from the goddesses of feminism like Gloria Stienem, Naomi Wolfe, and Audre Lourde.

Not quite what I had in mind for a porn, but than again this is really erotica which is all about mind stimulation as opposed to porn which is all about visual stimulation.

3- This movie is preachy as hell, I mean overly so.

I always believed the best way to get a message across is to mix it with something sweet so it doesn't taste like medicine or in this case your being talked at.

It's the reason "conscience" rappers don't get mainstream attention and why idiots with a mic get it all.

This movie makes everything obvious pointing out what we already know about the Hip Hop industry and not offering any real solutions or even reason why it is the way it is.

4- You call these sex scenes?

Now this movie categorizes it's self as soft porn, but I was under the impression that your not supposed to see penetration or oral sex in those movies, but damn if you don't in this.

What is different is the way it is shot no extreme close ups of the genitals,
(which is annoying as hell in porn), kissing, and the women seem to genuinely enjoy the sex, as opposed to porn were things are so exaggerated you cant believe that the women really had an orgasm.

Another thing that was missing that threw me off was the missing money shots, also known as male ejaculation.

Now in porn I never understood the reason to show it in the first place, that's not why I want to watch it and it is pretty obvious that it is degrading to women since they are the targets.

Besides what man wants to pull out if he doesn't have to?

Don't believe me?

Go ask the nearest baby daddy, I am sure they will back me up.

5- The plot was all over the place, feminism, erotica, satire, pop critique, none of it blended well and it served as more of a distraction.

Hell I thought erotica was supposed to build up the sexual tension before going into the sex scenes not here, that's the one thing this movie has in common with porn it doesn't take much to get busy.


Bottom line after caging the dog in me, who is laughing it's ass off at me, to watch this I got to say this movie sucked big time.

It isn't porn but damn if I call it erotica, this was a statement movie and not a very good one, they were better off leaving the sex scenes out.

Your better off watching the Zane chronicles on showtime or renting the Trois series.

But I will say that this is the directors first time out so that counts, and the behind the scenes documentary was real good, in fact they could of just put that out.

Now this movie was made by women for women so I might be showing some male bias here, it's not the first time I didn't get it when it came to chick orientated media, probably wont be the last time either.

And it was black women orientated, not enough of that out here in the world so women might like it.

Me I'll pass, like music, and books, porn is just recycling the same BS anyway.

My Favorite Movies A to Z.

Now yall know the rest pass it on.

Don Cheadle replaces Howard in "Iron Man" sequel.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - In a surprise move, Don Cheadle will replace Terrence Howard as Robert Downey Jr's best friend in "Iron Man 2," the sequel to the superhero saga.

In the Marvel Studios summer smash, Howard played Jim Rhodes, Tony Stark/Iron Man's future armor-clad hero War Machine. One scene featured Howard looking at a silver suit of armor and saying "Next time," a line that caused great delight for fans.

But there will be no next time for Howard.

Read the Rest Hear.

Looks like sombody got greedy, oh well i didnt l;ike Howard for the part anyway.

I am not sure about Cheadle either though, I was thinking some one a bit more physically intimidating.

Oh well.

Dragon Ball Z trailer.

That's amazing how you can tell a movie is going to suck before you even see it.

Way to screw it up Hollywood, please do not do any live version of Afro Samurai unless the directors name is Quentin Tarintino.

Movies I like: William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (1996)

I had to do time in an all boys Catholic school in New York when I was a kid and they had this Brother Thomas there.

Now Brother Thomas taught literature there but not any old literature, Shakespeare.

Studying and teaching William Shakespeare was this one dude's pleasure in life, no one could pour into it analyze every asinine, minute detail like he could with Shakespeare.

His dedication to Shakespeare was only rivaled by another Brother by the name of Pat who had a jones for the Canterbury Tales.

I hated William Shakespeare because of him and I refused add to that dead man's fame by supporting his work.

I mean it didn't help any that the language was dated like the whole time period, so you can imagine a young black kid like my self finding little interest in reading the soap opera drama of dead white people from another country.

So I just brushed off good old Willie's work till I met a young lady, who's name now escapes me, who insisted that are first date be to see the movie William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes.

We all know the story of two star crossed lover, children of sworn enemies who tragically lose there live because of there parent hate.

Nothing new here in the story, what counts is how you tell it.

I have to give props were props were due, director Baz Luhrmann, how he told the story actually had me paying attention to his movie, stopping me cold from my plan of copping feels of every part of my date's body.

The guns, the cinematography, cars, costumes and music all had me glued to the screen.

I finally got it, and understood what Willie was driving at just by watching that one movie.

This is how it should have been taught to me instead of Brother Thomas borderline torture sessions.

Since that movie I have tried to watch every remake of Willie's work and I have to say the ones I have seen all sucked.

Which makes this Rome and Juliet stand out all the more.

I got the DVD as soon as it came out and still watch it every now and than.

I recomend it for people who want there teenagers to have a little culture about them.

Spike Does it Again

Spike Lee has managed to piss off one of my mothers favorite actors Clint Eastwood.

The beef started over Eastwood's two WWII movies "Flags of our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima."

Spike felt Lee white washed the film as in now showing any black men's contribution to the effort.

Clint says he was being historically accurate (which he wasn't black were there, they didn't raise the flag but they were there.), and things got testy from there.

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/movies/2008/06/06/2008-06-06_clint_eastwood_fires_back_at_spike_lee_o.html

I didn't see the movies because just looking at the trailers they looked boring, but I didn't need to see it to know that there was a good chance they would be on the light hand side.

And that doesn't bother me because unlike the days past we can tell our stories which is exactly what Spike is doing with Miracle at Saint Anna based on a novel of a true story by James McBride.

The book of the same name is about the fate of four black soldiers caught behind enemy lines in World War II Italy in a village were the residents were massacred by German S.S. soldiers.

"To see the poster of the movie go to http://www.invisible-cinema.blogspot.com/"

Years ago I would of been bent out of shape just like Spike because there would be no one championing African American cause.

But that is why we got Spike,

Denzel,


Kasi Lemmons,


and Danny Glover

(he is doing a "historical action epic based on the life of Toussaint L'Ouverture, who led a successful slave rebellion in the 18Th century that sparked the Haitian Revolution" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0785063/)

they have a enough pull and money to tell it how it really is.

There is more room for other directors to be added on to that.

Now I am not saying directors who like to twist history should not be held accountable for it, they should cause left unchecked will have stuff like Malcom X played by Johhny Depp or MLK starring Gerard Butler or some other mess.

I just don't get upset any more because one I am no longer surprised and two I got Spike.

I rather take black directors to task for not making the movies that I want to see than begging the white ones to think about me too.

What I want to see: The Price for sugar

This documentary profiles the courageous Father Christopher Hartley, a Spanish priest who travels to the Dominican Republic to stop a modern-day slavery operation. Thousands of Haitian men are forced to work in inhumane conditions to harvest sugar cane for obscenely rich sugar barons. Standing up in the face of multiple death threats, Father Hartley bravely teaches these dispossessed workers to stand up for themselves and improve their lives.





The more you think things change the more they stay the same.

Now why cant BET do something like this?

Diddy In ?Raisin In The Sun"
Uploaded by PeteRock

ABC of all networks is going to show this. (Quite as kept ABC has been making moves on blacks, they also have a Docu coming out about the Black Phaorohs coming out this year).

Is it to much to ask?

ABC did not put any thought in to this they just jacked the play, saved themselves a buck in the process.

The material is out there the stars are out there whats the problem?

Big up to RBW for showing this on her blog. http://renaissanceblackwoman.blogspot.com/

Is it me or is this a rasict a@# movie?: 300

Yes I am late but I avoided this movie because I know propaganda when I see it.

The free Greeks, (free my ass), vs the dark hordes of Persia.

The army couldn't make a better recruitment tool for the war on terror.

But I am a sucker for sci-fi, fantasy movies, so I relented last night and got the bootleg.

Why the heck did I do that?

This movie is blatantly racist, the ivory white Greeks vs the literally dark hordes of Persia.

I cant remember a movie that was that obvious. How the hell did they get this one by?

I know I cant be the only one to notice this mess, am I looking to deep?

I mean I am pretty good with my "suspension of disbelief" when it comes to movies but I couldn't even enjoy this because of the subliminal messages.

Which is messed up because it is a pretty good movie other wise.

I am glad I bootlegged that joint.

Cowboy Bebop

You the reason I cant stand Christmas because it requires me to do the one thing I hate the most.

Shopping, I hate shopping.

I don not mind buying but I hate shopping.

Whats the difference?

Buying is when you go in a store, go to exactly what your looking for, pay for it, and walk out.

End of story.

Shopping is when you go into the store and look at every single thing in it, and wind up tired, broke and not getting what you wanted in the first place.

Buying 10 min.

Shopping over 2 hours.

During the holidays though there is no buying because that would require you to know excaclty what the person your shopping for wants.

Thus Christmas sucks.

Except this one, this one while looking for others I got what I wanted.

The Complete Cowboy Bebop Remix series.



One of the all time great Animes.

You will find that I have wide range of interests and taste on this blog, anime is one of them.

This series is about a group of rag tag bounty hunter going through space on various adventures earning there credits.

This series is hip now imagine back than.

Great music scores all the episodes, the art work is A+, the story lines are top notch and I got my hands on all of them.

So thank you to the person I was shopping for in the first place for allowing me to spend money meant to go to you on me.

Now If I can get my hand on the complete Samurai Champloo series we good.
