I feel you on what you had to say Redeemed skins, and you opinion was taking with high regard. Just to let you know as a black male i kinda agree with you. I just wanted to know alittle about your thinking.
I dont wanna offend anyone, but I really dont go to alot of movies you know what the cost and everything, so movies like Soul Plane I will wait to come out on DVD. But a movie like Barbershop I or II i didn't mind paying for and taking my kids to. I generally try to only see movies that will have a bigger impact on the BIG screen and the superb sound systems at the theater.
I know alot of black directors are pigeon holed into making movies like soul plane, but i much rather see them make movies like "From Hell" which was done by the Hughs Brothers.
Thank you. I was not aware that the Hughs bros. made that movie.
I'm feeling you on the movie costs. It was great while I was a student to go to an AMC theater and get a student discount $5.00 ain't bad, but when you have to shell out $9 -$10 bucks for a non-matinee, it hurts the pocket, especially if the movie ain't worth it.
Can one get a refund if one does not like the movie. I mean, in this era where one can sue because coffee is hot, I'm sure the emotional & financial hardship brought on by Gigli and stuff can be fought for.... and won back.
I read an article in "GQ", I think, re: black actors and the lack of available roles for them. Kenan (from SNL/Kenan n' Kel/ Good Burger fame) was typecast for the Fat Albert movie. The article was interesting cause it brought up many issues black actors face, and how they sometimes have to struggle to find roles, often trying to beat each other out for the limited roles. (yes, I am aware that his happens among all races). You must read the article. I wish I was certain where you can find it.
