Just not melodramatic and overly morbid, really. I enjoy films focusing on the black struggle, (of course, if you can think of some that don't, feel free to include those too).

Afrocentric people in general rub me the wrong way. Don't get me wrong I'm glad to be black but yo I'm not into that self segregation shit. Everytime I meet someone who says it's "us vs them" I'm just like word?...nah, 12% isn't going to do a damn thing against 70%, you cats are delusional as fuck.
Where is your report on it?

Dammit harson, you can't go to bat for every damn movie. Tell us some movies you don't like.

I've never seen it, but from what I can remember I don't think I've ever seen harson say a movie is bad. I want to know what he doesn't like.

Never saw the second one, but Barbershop is a decent movie.

A Good Day to Die Hard
Cosmopolis
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
House at the End of the Street
Hit & Run
Compliance
Bullet to the Head
The Bay
Stolen
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters
Tai Chi Zero
The Possession
Alex Cross
This Is 40
Silent Hill: Revelation

Do you go into movie related threads? I've hated on plenty of films. Hell, I write 1000+ word reviews for movies I hate. Like this one for The Last Airbender: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=22210767&postcount=1604
I pretty much watch everything that releases. I'm choosy with what I'll watch in theaters considering I'm dropping $5-10 for the film, but I watch anything and everything once it hits home video between Redbox and the mom and pop video shop around the corner.

Daddy's Little Girls is Perry's only good film, and it's a generally decent flick by itself.

Aw, I was gonna check those out eventually.
I rarely go to movie threads here unless I really liked a movie and saw it opening weekend. I wasn't coming at you if that's what you were thinking. I honestly couldn't recall a time you badmouthed a film in this specific thread, but I knew you watched tons of movies.
A student screening at UC Santa Cruz a few weeks back. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a legitimate copy considering it was a student screening of a movie that hasn't had a domestic release yet Lol.
I didn't take it personally! And eh, I'm pretty contrarian and argumentative, so I only tend to bother posting about something when there's a debate to be had or I'm part of the minority opinion. I'm not much of a fan of circle jerk conversations where everyone's opinion is in lockstep (Christopher Nolan threads for example), so I tend to not join them most of the time unless my opinion happens to go against the grain haha. Probably explains a lot of my posts.
I liked Diary of a Mad Black Woman as well, partially because I hadn't grown old of the Tyler Perry formula yet. I think a lot of his films negative perceptions are exacerbated by the fact that they're so freaking formulaic and seemingly overlap/blend together. There's certainly other factors as well, but being able to create a collage out of his filmography and the collage coming off as one movie instead of several doesn't help at all.

The Boondocks is on Netflix but it's still censored. Why.
I don't think I've ever seen it uncensored now that I think about it... Always watched it on television.

Are you building muscle or cutting?
i dont even know
You don't really know what LaVey was preaching, do you? He called his religion Satanism in the hopes it would create a lot of media coverage. The things he actually wrote is more in line with what many posters here think; there is no god, do what you want as long as it doesn't hurt others, don't let people exploit you etc. He wasn't a devil worshipper as many seem to think.
The thing is they KNOW they are delusional in regards to actually doing something, well at least the group "leaders" like Farrakhan do. If somehow they self segregated and all the white people were gone/etc... that would be the end of their movement, and you can't sell books/DVDs/merchandise without a movement. So they just endlessly complain.
Sadly I can't convince my friend of this/he'll have to figure this out himself. Maybe once he gets tired of trying to only work for/with black owned businesses or only buying black made products.
just found out im stuck in texas for at least another 16 months
and people think we're going to north korea, syria, or iran. fucking l o l. i'm damned good at my job, don't have anything negative on my record, and even i'm skating on thin ice. the cuts to military are no joke.

What's wrong, in their eyes, with multicultural products? Or is everything not made by blacks automatically created by the white man?
