"Is anyone honestly looking forward to Notorious?"
I'm a Biggie fan but this shit just looks horrible. Dude doesn't even look or talk like Biggie. At first I thought it was a spoof. It looks like Eddie Murphy as Norbit playing Biggie. What the fuck is wrong with Puff. He's got enough money, just let this nigga rest in peace. Unfortunately, despite it being released during what is well known as the month of garbage, I think coons will come out in droves to see this shit the way stupid bitches went to see Sex & The City, or the way said coons always come out to see the newest turd Tyler Perry shits out.

I don't doubt this guy still gets a lot of tail, but trust me, his halcyon days are long gone.

From what I saw in the trailer it just looks derivative and lazy, not to mention it also looks like it has the production values of an episode of Chappelle's Show.

While GD debates such important issues as the weight requirements of Angela Bassett as Voletta Wallace, I'm just eager to see how *deep* the movie goes with Big's story, seeing as Puff's an Exec Producer on it
Also I look forward to all of the forthcoming attacks on "Hollywood" once the movie opens ________________________________________________________________________ 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

now I'm definitely NOT seeing that, unless it's via stream on my laptop, cause best believe I'm not even downloadin that jont.
my goodness that is one terribly casted TV movie looking hot mess of a movie in the making right there. It really does look like "Get Rich or Die Trying 2"

I mean, I'm totally aware of all the reasons why it could suck, but I've got to admit that the trailer got me interested. Will wait for reviews to decide whether or not I go to the theater for it, tho...

BIG's manager Mark Pitts had this movie made. It's interesting because Mark was never into making more biggie albums after BIG passed. He wasn't even that into the "I'll Be Missing You" single. I think Mark really wanted to make a movie to showcase B.I.G's life and this is what we got. I'm gonna go to see it just because it will be a hoodfest flick. Something you gotta watch in either downtown BK or Magic Johnson theaters in Harlem.

I don't really care who shepherded the film from start to finish, all I know is his name is on it, which means that he surely had input and approval on everything from the casting to the script to the finished product
Now whether that means certain events will be omitted (and don't ask "like what," I'm just speaking in general terms), I don't know, but I'm guessing he had more input on this than some of you would like to believe... ________________________________________________________________________ 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
36. "angela bassett plays voletta in the movie." In response to Reply # 0 Sat Dec-27-08 02:03 AM by justin_scott
they should have just completed the moronic casting and had denzel play biggie. i mean, denzel looks as close to biggie as angela bassett does to voletta.
i already know all i need to know about biggie. anything more, there's books out.
if you lived through the whole east coast west coast media fued, or you just paid attention to hip hop from 1994 until 1997, or you followed biggie as an artist, there is no point in spending money to see this movie. i remember all this shit pretty clear, so i won't be checkin this out.
51. "what did Biggie do in his lifetime to deserve a film?" In response to Reply # 50
He was just like any other dude in Brooklyn rapping on the street corner and selling drugs to support his family. He just happen to luck out. Oh yeah, and Biggie didn't have it as rough as he made it seem. His mom works for the Board of Education in NYC along with my mother and life for him wasn't nearly that rough...

52. "People were interested enough to make it." In response to Reply # 51
People will be interested enough to see it.
Like BIG or not, his era helped to propel hip hop further into the mainstream. That alone makes him relevent of a film.
You can shit on the quality of the movie, but not the value. A movie about a misbehaving dog just made 40 million. Why can't a rapper have a pseudo biopic.

54. "Surprised the inevitable Tupac biopic didn't happen first..." In response to Reply # 0
I consider Biggie the GOAT, but it seems like Pac has the more compelling biography and greater mystique surrounding him that would lead to this kind of movie. As people have said, we all know Biggie's story. What can be learned from watching a dramatized version of his life? Hopefully it'll at least be a complex portrait rather than a straight lionization. But with Puff executive producing...
