that's smart. not sure if that's ever been done before.

i'm really trying to wrap my head around why i'm so annoyed with this dude. i mean, he's terrible at what he does, but so are a lot of other people (besides "Boyz", i hate John Singleton's work, too).

i think a lot of it has to do with the fact that his stuff is just *weird*.

i was trying to watch "House of Payne" the other night, and beyond just the horrible fake laugh track and terrible improv, there was a scene where the mother stumbles out of the kitchen speaking in tongues. there's no foreshadowing, explaining why she would do that or any reaction from other characters...it's just a fat stereotype speaking in tongues for about 5-6 seconds. it was a perfect example of why i'm so baffled by his work...he basically just throws shit together that *kinda* makes sense to him and there's no other process for refining/improving.
