The movie business is still ran by the tired old sterotyped racist mindset..there might be new players but still the same chewed up puked favored genre for black actors. Imagine the same movie with Will's real life wife Jada at his side and the brotha had his act together, tight body and mind..then he might have been a threat to national security..it still seems that white male movie directors,writers,etc have the greatest fear and that is casting a black actor with a brain and can use it!Intercityvisionaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16392212422051259781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181183266309065387.post-60008505298442218412008-07-29T00:25:00.000-05:002008-07-29T00:25:00.000-05:00Well, re H and K, while certainly not perfect, I t...Well, re H and K, while certainly not perfect, I think you'd be surprised by all the good stuff... <BR/><BR/>So, I'd be interested to hear what you think (the first one came out several years ago, taking place in NJ and is available on DVD-------the sequel "Escape from Guantanamo Bay" just left the theaters and should be out on DVD soon) It is sort of presented as a pot-smokers "straight horny male" movie, but arguably that image is sort of making fun of itself, because there is also lots of homo-eroticism between the H and K, who are friends from college.<BR/><BR/>The main characters are Asian and it has lots of racial critique about racism against Asians, but also in general. If you see it, I'd like to hear what you think (I recomend both the first and second ones).<BR/><BR/>On another note, I've also been experimenting with the movie reviews, and would like to hear what you think of this one on The Bourne Ultimatum:<BR/>http://www.zcommunications.org/znet/viewArticle/16318<BR/><BR/>Otherwise my vote for the number one "how did this get past the corporate censors?" subversive movie of the last 2 years is "Shooter" starring Mark Wahlberg and Danny Glover. Seen that one yet?<BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogb72h4vYKUHans Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676863091026800710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5181183266309065387.post-88752001913831207722008-07-28T21:23:00.000-05:002008-07-28T21:23:00.000-05:00Hi Hans,Thanks so much for posting up.
