I've seen TP's movies as well. I also didn't like them, next.

>With TP, you:

>1) Decide you don't like TP movies before they've come out,
>just because you don't like him.

Not true, I've addressed this above.

>2) Dislike TP because of how he reflects on black
>people, or because of some magical role he plays
>in problems perpetuated in the black community

Subject matter matters *shrug*

>3) Ignore his overall positivity and hard work, which
>is commendable

I don't ignore them, I just don't think he gets a pass for it, like you do. He's not making movies about himself. If he was then I might be able to overlook the poor quality because of the good message, this is not the case.

>4) Ignore the fact that a lot of his films of late have
>been serious, and good, indicating artistic growth

You and I disagree here. I'm not ignoring anything, I've seen ALL of his movies. I found all of them trite and unsatisfying with the exception of TFTPT. I do however like a fair amount of Kevin Smiths movies, which you seem to hate, so perhaps we just have different tastes. It doesn't make your opinion suspect, nor mine
>1-4 are completely unfounded and unfair.

>My Kevin Smith hate is based on nothing more than
>the shittiness of his films.

Ditto for TP

>----------------------------

Y'all need to stop acting like those of us who don't like his movies are declaring jihad on the man. I got nothing against him personaly, I just don't like his movies, for the most part.

May 28th 2009

           So basically, you have a stupid double standard.
May 28th 2009
22
                for it to be a double standard the situations would have to be the same.
May 29th 2009
25
                     LMAO!! How, exactly does Tyler Perry bring down black people?
May 29th 2009
30
                          Who are you arguing with?
May 29th 2009
31
                               So because he doesn't HELP YOU, that makes his movies bad?
May 29th 2009
33

May 29th 2009

May 29th 2009

I just don't think making movies is his thing.
May 28th 2009

May 29th 2009
