Spin must be laughing in triumph (somewhat) that the Google Know-Nothings chose KFC.

I still haven't seen Precious, The Help, or The Blind Side. Keep hearing I should see The Help.
I wonder who'll be the next black male to win an Oscar.

He isn't born yet.
Will Smith
Anthony Mackie (He was better then Renner in Hurt Locker)
Eddie Murphy could get one if he started being serious like in Dreamgirls
There's always Denzel & Samuel Jackson.
The Oscars seem to go for veterans on the male side and new/young people on the female side. Probably just a phase.
You don't want a white woman to save you? What's wrong with you?

Will Smith will get one for Bad Boys 3. I'm thinking maybe Idris Alba possibly someday.
I wish Anthony Mackie could erase his Tupac role from Notorious.

Cedric the Entertainer seriously should have gotten at least nominated for his old man role in Barbershop. Like damn, he pulled that old dude off perfectly.
Mackie is a pretty awful actor IMO. He was good in Hurt Locker but has sucked in everything else I've seen him in. Especially We Are Marshall. His character was so friggin annoying.

havent seen notorious, so he hasnt been tainted in my eyes.
Parallax said:
He's in a lot of movies but stays second fiddle. He needs a starring role. Give him everything that wuld go to Jamie Foxx lol.
The last thing I saw him in was Adjustment Bureau, but I think he was in Real Steel too.
Another I used to think had a shot was Lorenz Tate, but he's no where to be seen now.
reverse racism, duh.
And Bad Boys 3 will never get anything more than audio/video editing nominations. It's a bay flick.

I read the wiki on precious and it sounds shit. Probably won't watch it.

blind side could have been good if it wasnt so exaggerated. the real story wasnt as crazy as that was it? like his small country momma went to the ghetto and stole him back from a gang?

Daddy's Little Girls was alright. Haven't seen anything else though.
I liked Daddy's Little Girls okay... it was more palatable than most.
Btw, I loved how The Boondocks took shots at Tyler Perry.
I like Sandra Bullock fine, but Academy award winner Sandra Bullock doesn't sound right to me at all. I don't even think Blindside was Oscar worthy really.
I'm pretty sure I've seen diary of a mad black woman, only movie though.
He was in some indie flick called night catches us iirc, that was the last I've seen of him.

I've seen The Family That Preys, Madea's Family Reunion, Madea Goes to Jail, and Meet the Browns.
I want to see Good Deeds. It doesn't look like Tyler's usual shtick, but maybe I'm being delusional.

Not really feeling the Help. I really wasnt entertained. It wasnt really offensive, so much as it was patronizing and ultimately, boring.
every white woman in this movie, minus the red head and this great looking blonde who shows up later in this movie, is written as a nauseating racist though, so maybe that's their way of balancing out the black mammy/magical negro dynamic they have going on.
Some people accuse Spike Lee of hatin' on white folks in his films, but even the white people in malcolm x and bamboozled werent as disgustingly racist as the line up of southern belles in the Help, lol. they went all in, with the women at least.
But really, enough is enough with these types of movies. it's 2012.
every time i see one of these types films, I feel like applauding Denzel and his decision to play the same sturdy, hero character over and over and over again. better that than roles hollywood usually gives us.

I saw Family Reunion, and... ugh
I got some cheap laughs from it but other than the "finally someone is helping black actors (and that one girl, hnnnnnnng)" i was good never seeing it, or another tyler perry film, ever again.

I seem to only see his movies when family gets together and they decide to watch it. That's the only reason I ended up watching his plays. Daddy's Little Girls is probably the only one I really enjoyed though.
I remember watching his tv show once. Awful!

Is Black History month @ GAF over yet??? :-(
Yous trying to get me hang for talking to a white woman? You get from around heer with that, get from around heer!!!
Nah, she talked about her boyfriend.
I've only seen the family that preys and one of his stage shows on tape. The family that preys is fucked up. I've never seen one character do another one that wrong without murder involved, or the words lifetime in the bottom right corner.
Man I love me some lifetime movies.
