LOL--who the fuck said that?

"Aimed at teenagers" and "popcorn flick" does not mean
"summer blockbuster."


LOL.

LOL -- why the fuck would you do that? "For Colored Girls"
was an unapologetically serious and sad drama based on a
boho play. 'Red Tails' is a popcorn movie with tons of
aerial combat scenes aimed at teenagers.

Supporting one has nothing to do with supporting the other.

LOL--well good for you!
