it's Hollywood. Don't act brand new! LOL!

They ALWAYS DO SHIT LIKE THIS.

just like when Eve's Bayou came out and it was a legitimate oscar contender across the board.

Critics and the like couldn't even comprehend that this small ass movie, this small as BLACK INDIE, could even be in consideration for anything.

And they labeled it "urban", "black", etc. and the movie itself could have been played by all white actors the film's themes and story transcended race, etc.

it did relatively well at the box office but it was a wrap once the "urban" and "black" label was being tacked onto it.

Shame, Eve's Bayou is great.
