Black & White & Red All Over (1997)

I have no idea why my mother and aunt allowed me to watch this movie with them, but that openness is the type of stuff that I am grateful for.



"No, the six black friends hanging out together in a Boston apartment over a Thanksgiving weekend, watching television, drinking beer and smoking "blunts", are not waiting for Godot, although it sometimes feels that way. The characters in their 20's who inhabit ''Black and White and Red All Over'' are caught up in a wave of black-on-black violence that is receiving sporadic coverage on a local television station. Exactly how they are connected to these events is revealed only in bits and pieces as the story unfolds. Even by the end of the movie, much is still unexplained.

Set in the near future, the film, directed and written by DeMane Davis, Harry McCoy and Khari Streeter, has the style of a semi-improvised docudrama. Drenched in a mood of ominous claustrophobia, it evokes a black urban society so caught up in lethal turf wars that at times the apartment seems like a bunker. Most of the crucial events in the drama take place offscreen.


The movie has flashes of grim humor. One scene is photographed from the point of view of a "blunt" that the characters are passing around. When they talk back to the continuously playing television, their banter about the programming, particularly on the Black Entertainment Network, has a bitterly funny edge." Read More

The film “Super 8″ is a hit, but what does the title mean?

The No. 1 film at the box office this week is J.J. Abram’s “Super 8,” an homage to the work of Steven Spielberg. Millions of people have seen this film, but it’s doubtful they know what the title means.

Released by Eastman Kodak in 1965, Super 8 became one of the preferred film formats of the motion picture industry during the 1960s and 70s – alongside 35 mm film. The name is an abbreviation for Super 8 millimeter film. The use of the word “super” denotes the film stock’s improvement over the earlier “regular 8” format and the number 8 is a reference to the width (in millimeters) of the film reel. Many independent filmmakers continue to use 8 mm to mimic the look of old home movies and capture the film’s gritty quality.

The fact that a movie using digital and image technologies that have led to the obsolescence of Super 8 film could be seen as ironic. But is this truly an example of irony? We dig in to that thorny topic, here.

‘The Wire’ Reimagined and Analyzed as a Victorian Novel

"The key to great analysis is often imagination. That’s what sets apart “When It’s Not Your Turn”: The Quintessentially Victorian Vision of Ogden’s “The Wire,” an article which purports to be an examination of the great literary text The Wire, if it had been published as a serialized Victorian novel. The article acts as if The Wire was written by Horatio Bucklesby Ogden, a contemporary of Charles Dickens, and goes on to examine the content in an appropriate manner. There are even reproduced pages of text and era-appropriate illustrations by Joy Delyria.

This isn’t a parody of the show, but a way of looking at it that requires a small leap of imagination. It’s pretty great stuff, and we’ve got a bit more info after the break." Read More

I'm Gay?

DUH. (._.)

"Rapper Lil B is coming out as a straight, gay man, and it's costing him many of his hard-earned fans. Not that it bothers him.

The rising hip-hop MC and former member of The Pack announced earlier in April that he planned to name his upcoming album "I'm Gay," despite not being a homosexual. For him, it's a re-appropriation of the word, as well as a statement in support of the gay community.

'I'm very gay, but I love women. I'm not attracted to men in any way. I've never been attracted to a man in my life. But yes I am gay, I'm so happy. I'm a gay, heterosexual male,' he told MTV. 'I got major love for the gay and lesbian community, and I just want to push less separation and that's why I'm doing it.'

Even so, the album title has spawned a nasty backlash against him, as he said he's 'many of my supporters have turned on me,' and he gets messages from some saying 'I'm gonna bash your head in," "you fa**ot," and 'I'm gonna kill you.'

The Berkeley-based rapper said that he's trying to break barriers in the hip-hop world; former MTV producer and hip-hop expert Terrence Dean recently wrote a book, titled "Hiding In Hip Hop: On The Down Low in the Entertainment Industry From Music to Hollywood," about being a gay member of the rap community and the hurdles that those involved still need to overcome in a column for HelloBeautiful.com."

WHO IS LIL B MIGHT U ASK? u dont wanna know...but here u go:


told u :(



"Hip Hop is a culture and environment which does not provide a safe place for an artist to come forward or to come out," he wrote. "If you listen to many rap lyrics they promote hate and gay-bashing. It is an environment where the thug and gangster mentality is prevalent. Artists boast of a hyper-masculine bravado, with their crotch-grabbing, degradation of women, and their braggadocios lyrical slaying about the number of women they've slept with and children they’ve produced."

...wait! u can read??? and form sentences with BIG WORDS??? so WTF is this shit in ur music?! now im convinced that Lil B is the new heroin to the Black community. #spy

The World's Most Typical Person...

"National Geographic recently sought to determine the characteristics of the most typical human being. Because the world's largest ethnic group is Han Chinese, males outnumber females, and the world's average age is 28, this person would have to fulfill all these qualifications. The magazine even took it a step further! Its researchers averaged the faces of 190,000 of the world's 9-million-plus 28-year-old Han Chinese men and came up with the photo shown above!" Read More
