105164, Do you REALLY "support" all black films?
Posted by professor, Tue Jun-26-07 11:35 PM
So you paid to go see Soul Plane...and Akila and the Bee?

If so, I'm impressed, because that would mean your tastes are way more diverse than mine, for sure. But you do know how Hollywood works when it comes to producing movies, right?

If a 'Soul Plane-type' movie sells tickets, the studios green light more soul planes. On the other handl, if Akila and the Bee sells tickets, they will green light more Akila and the Bees. Which means that since you support EVERY black movie, your "votes" don't help determine what types of black movies will get green lit in the future because they cancel one another out. But for real...

No one can like both Madea's Family Reunion AND Malcolm X. With that said, I guess you can force yourself to sit through every black movie ever made to express your "race consciousness." This is America.
