Oh FUCK NO! Tyler Perry joins Star Trek Cast

[Van Cruncheon]

new jack city!

[brawndolicious]

OMG mississippi burning is a black movie!?  I'm so black right now.

but anyways, I'm saying that if you want to watch a good comedy that has to do with ethnic relations (specifically about black people) then watch those two Eddie Murphy movies and for the love of god watch some of his stand-up shit.

and what honkies like you and pd miss is that tyler perry movies are not liked because they are good, they are liked because of their idealized if comedic view of black families.

If that's the case then how come every time a new Tyler Perry movie comes out the various people I know all want to see it?

[Van Cruncheon]

or any early spike lee. fuck, i think even bamboozled is good -- never fathomed why it got the hate it did.

and what honkies like you and pd miss is that tyler perry movies are not liked because they are good, they are liked because of their idealized if comedic view of black families. it's a cute conceit, but you need a better proponent than someone as technically terrible as tyler perry!

Then why do most of people I know - especially the women - find Tyler Perry's movies to be good?

why do most people of ANY color i know find shitty movies to be good? jesus, white women love shit like "what a girl wants" -- does that make amanda bynes talented?

Bamboozled is a really good movie.

it doesn't, but I don't think anyone in this thread even said Tyler Perry was talented.

[Van Cruncheon]

well, then does the fact that white wimmenz love many godawful soppy romcoms make any of THOSE movies good?

[Himu]

Hell no.

All I'm sayin is that a movie does not have to be great to be fun. Me and my cousins watch Diary of a Mad Black Woman on occasions and we like it because it it is fun.

Critics may say Booty Call sucks, but I don't give a fuck, that movie rules.

[Van Cruncheon]

i'm sure some white folks watch rob schneider comedies from time to time too!

[Himu]

Exactly.

you officially fail.

he's a Filipino Jew.  bad example.  I mean, he hates Mel Gibson after he insulted Jews so he can't be high on the white meter.

Booty Call is awesome. Next thing you know, you'll tell me I fail for watching and liking Drumline.

I loved how drumline was like the only mainstream movie ever with a token white kid.

[Beezy]

Don't hate on Booty Call!

[Eric P]

i'm going to jump in on this because drumline is good.

[Gay Boy]

Drumline was pretty decent
