You started with a bad strawman, in an attempt to make you and your innocent views seem victimized by the rapid Perry-loving niggers in PTP.
Stop it.
>I'm sorry, but the simple fact of Tyler Perry being a black >man with his own studio and own films/TV show means little to >me considering the overall quality and content of his work. I >don't handicap for skin color.
Another strawman. That is two dumbass strawmen in a row.
No one handicaps for skin color alone. Same way no real nigga would vote for Alan Keyes if he ran for president versus Hilary Clinton.
Same way a lot of dumbass movies made by black filmmakers don't get seen.
Because contrary to popular belief, black people don't have worse movie going tastes than white people.
>While I wouldn't exactly say I'd rather he wasn't doing >anything at all (although I could have gone my whole life >without having seen "Diary of a Mad Black Woman"), it's like >someone said; he's the movie version of Master P. A highly >successful factory of formulaic product of dubious quality.
Interesting, because you can say the same thing for Quentin Tarantino - offbeat, nostalgic, rambling ass movies that are often about the language and decor and not the story.
I find none of Tarantino's recent films to be any better than Perry's, and Perry's last effort was 20,00X better made and more interesting than Tarantino's.
Of course, all you'll do is cop pleas about how "how can you compare them???" That is, of course, because the decorated artsy fartsy filmmaker is the one who is sucking...you niggas would have no problem comparing 'I'm Bout it' to 'Heat' if it meant shitting on the black film.
So basically - Using a formula to be successful isn't relegated to Perry, or to black films.
Hell, I'm not sure Reece Witherspoon has been in an original movie her entire career.
>And unlike the snark about "us" waiting for a "black Wes >Anderson", I was pretty content with people like George >Tillman myself. Tillman seemed able to direct/produce >accessible, fairly unpretentious films about black people that >didn't insult my intelligence and weren't so slovenly. I put >him on a pedestal far, far above Perry.
Well good for you.
And I(and others) put me on a pedestal above you.
Luckily, this post is not about George Tillman, or about Orbit_Established, so please, shut the fuck up, because you're not, at all, insightful or intelligent.
>And if Spike Lee wanted to turn out nothing but $6 mil >pictures like Perry, he wouldn't have to "wait" for >major-label money either (Lee financed "Bamboozled" himself, >going so far as to shoot most of the picture on Mini DV). But, >for some of the types of films Spike wants to make now, he >needs real budgets, not the "nigger money" studios usually >hand out for black films.
Read that paragraph again. It doesn't make a grain of motherfucking sense. Not a grain.
Because Spike Lee has nothing to do with Tyler Perry, or Perry's success, just like Jack Black has shit to do with Daniel Day Lewis, or just like Uwe Bol has shit to do with Martin Scorcese.
>...and don't think Tyler Perry _doesn't_ have to wait >on/answer to Lionsgate. It's not as if the dude owns a >distribution company. Lionsgate is probably less prone to >meddle than the larger studios, but they still have a say.
Right, and at the end of the day, we all have to answer to president Obama.
I mean, is that supposed to diminish how we talk about his success?
You be inventing dumbass reasons to hate.
I mean, you over here like:
"Fuck Tyler Perry...you know...one day a Comet is going to strike the earth, ending human civilization, so that nigga's time on top is temporary."
What a bunch of hoecakes y'all are.
Lol
