how many times do black folks in the industry have to start out doing nigga shit, get recognized for being finacially feaseable, get hated on by white film critics who can't relate and embarrassed hankyheads, CROSSOVER, start doing shit white folks enjoy and then get patted on the back by those same scared niggas?
quickest turnaround i saw for that one was terrence howard's pimp. now, that dude is rollin'. man, that was fast.
furthermore, what EXACTLY are we always debating here? can someone pinpoint the problem for me?
1. you don't want tyler perry's hustle to stop, right?
2. neither of us think he's a good filmmaker.
3. i don't care about his filmmaking so much as he gets asses in seats and hires black casts and crew, who will then be able to turn around and do shit THEY WANNA DO and start another cycle of black employment and creativity. eventually, some little PA that was birthed by tyler perry will produce the kinda clever, quirky bullshit you niggas are dying to see. then, the whole world will know..."see black folks can do subtle, quirky comedy, too"...whatever, nigga. you wanna see that bullshit? write it...direct it...stop fuckin whining. and maybe karma won't kick you in the ass and black audiences will want to see your quirky black folk movie, because you know damn well white folks ain't gonna see it.
4. the state of black film does not begin and end with tyler perry anymore than white folks shit begin and end with kevin smith. why behave like it does? that's what i don't understand.
