need help from BlackGaf.

Anyone know about a good documentary about African American contributions to music?

Something which deals with ragtime, jazz, R&B vocal groups from the 1800s to other genres in the present?

something from public television would be great.

I've only read the Battle Royale manga and it's really bad yeah

but I heard they took alot of liberties with the novel and that it's more gore porn than anything
 
I remember reading the books before. If they adapt the other two, shit will escalate to insane levels real quick.

Man most of those YA novels follow the same tired shit. But if it gets people reading then it's whatever.

They totally do. Maze Runner is bad because it is an interesting story that goes totally to shit in the last chapter.

didn't even know it was a YA novel, was semi-forced to see it by my other 5 friends that all wanted to. It made me want to be interested in it but failed as the longer it went on the more predictable it became.

Only ever seen the movie and it was trash, I moved on.


The Running Man is the only movie to make the concept decent and that's because it doesn't act like it isn't an abused concept or at least doesn't try and fail to make it serious at all.

There's a couple of films that do the concept decently. The original Rollerball and Series 7: The Contenders are in the same ballpark as The Running Man. I also have a soft spot for Death Race 2000 and was pleasantly surprised by The Condemned, due to the fact that I went into it with infinitely negative expectations.
 
The most interesting part
the maze is pretty much tossed out.

that's the end with a 30 sec scene at the end setting up the next movie assuming the movie makes good money

That and Katniss is pretty much a mindless pawn for the revolution. She practically did nothing in the second movie and was deliberately kept in the dark while the smart adults did all the real work. On top of being kinda boy-crazy, I don't see how anyone watching this looks up to her as a strong female character in fiction.


I was making fun of the next Hunger Games trailer played before the movie that hollywood is teaching young girls that to be a strong woman you need to immediately find a guy to help you out to be strong. And that the trailer was like if the 2nd Production team of Divergent made it while shooting
 

Parallax

best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"

series 7 was pretty good for a movie on cinemax that i happened to catch on accident. although it would ruin it, i would have liked to have seen a take on a series 8
