@Fred....@Anon. At least a few of you got the joke.<br /><br />@Fred. Random, they are remaking Damn Busters and are struggling with the name of the dog in the movie, a friend who is a world war 2 movie buff has mentioned that factoid and it will be interesting to see what comes of it. Black people in 2001? Are you crazy the dream is to get to space in order to avoid them!<br /><br />@40. Got to disagree bro'. I love me some QT and really want to see what he comes up with in Django Unchained.chaunceydevegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09652406326490873337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-66280787149472201852012-01-23T12:10:48.109-06:002012-01-23T12:10:48.109-06:00I'm finding this "Red Tails" backlas...I'm finding this "Red Tails" backlash extremely humorous. I'm interested to see where all these voices will be when Tarantino's niggacoon epic "Django Unchained" comes out this year. Quinnie loves his "N-Bombs" in his movie to the point in "Inglourious Basterds" he worked it in to that movie. So can we imagine what's in store for a movie about "With the help of his mentor, a slave-turned-bounty hunter sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner." So clearly the slave can't think for himself and only knows how to hone his "craft" and channel his anger because Mr. Charlie taught him how. I shudder at the amount of buck dancing, scraping, and yassabossing will go down in this big budget Hollywood flick. Something tells me Quentin will go virtually unchallenged in this shit show. But hey at least Kerry Washington got the female lead...40noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-74419123870520756042012-01-23T05:56:25.030-06:002012-01-23T05:56:25.030-06:00New technology, I wonder how long it'll be unt...New technology, I wonder how long it'll be until we see "new" Steve McQueen movies. Just motion-capture his ass right in there. Why should anybody be dead, if there's money to be made? Cary Grant? Carole Lombard? Wouldn't it be great? It's all digital mischief. <br /><br />We could even put Black actors into the classics, it's all getting easier now. Denzel would be great in "Seven Days in May." Why are there no Black faces in "2001: a Space Odyssey?" We can fix that. Why limit it to actors? Sonny Liston got the look you need? Put him in the middle of "The Big Sleep." I'm backing Halle Berry for almost anything, how about the good witch in "The Wizard of Oz?" <br /><br />When all of the analog stuff is gone, the future is going to get very complicated, and strange.fred chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812811681270634366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-3020396659222006572012-01-21T23:23:24.144-06:002012-01-21T23:23:24.144-06:00thanks for your eloquent dramatical descriptions o...thanks for your eloquent dramatical descriptions of what could be if a black woman were to be in the film.

He loves his corny movies, but I do agree that he needs to hand over the reigns on future projects. Perhaps the live action series will be much better.<br /><br />@Shady. Off my meds. Need help.

=) You must kno...Chauncey you are truly disturbed.<br /><br />=) You must know this.<br /><br />I just saw the film. I want to think about it some more before writing a complete review but the biggest issue was not the relationship with the Italian lady but that the direction/pacing made the film look/feel like a TV show. The director needed to let scenes play themselves out more.<br /><br />FWIW the film got applause in a theater that was 2/3 white.Shady_Gradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00996625985002373392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-50248129459701297812012-01-21T12:57:43.299-06:002012-01-21T12:57:43.299-06:00One other noteworthy mention my friend Art Sims 11...One other noteworthy mention my friend Art Sims 11:24 did all of the print campaign work on the film..<br /><br />Check it out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-25662488174161412122012-01-21T12:48:58.890-06:002012-01-21T12:48:58.890-06:00Super idea for a film horrible film from the lousy...Super idea for a film horrible film from the lousy acting to the terrible script..<br /><br />TA deserve better perhaps Lucas wants to destroy Black films of this genre forever..<br /><br />I will never for give me for the JAR JAR Binks character...To insert that level of racism into a SCI-FI movie and knowing children especially Black kds will so that shit wa truly fucked!!<br /><br />I left the theatre happy that the subject matter is present on film but so troubled by the B movie presentation..Terrance Howard was worthless in his speeches..Cuba looked like a fool with his pipe the others actors were undermined by a chickenshit script..<br /><br />Aaron McGruder's appears to be a flash in the pan who has shot his wad..<br /><br />TBlanchard's music score was fucked and truly terribleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
