I just love the man


Denzel is too fine. He is getting better with age. I just spent the past two hours with him. Just he and I having our quality time. I love just watching this man walk. I'm no stalker. I say again, I am no stalker. But,I could easily become one for him. Now, I'm going to go pray on this. Stay Blessed and go see this movie. Bootleggers are running rampant!

Do Not Pass Me By

I don't buy bootleg movies. Ok... anymore. I would like to say it was because I chose the moral high ground. I would but, in reality I got tired of having to stand on my head and adjust my right leg to a 90 degree angle to view them. I got tired of having to figure out if this is really the picture on the case cover. Having to listen to Pookie,RayRay and nem in the background and watching everyone go back and forth to the concession stands/bathrooms.

I voiced my reasons why I don't buy bootleg to hustleman as he approached. Hustleman has stepped up his game. Hustleman said I will let you view the movie right now. Pulled a small dvd player from his coat ( like Looting Lenny on Good Times) and said (Like Wanda on In Living Color) I got you. You ain't got to go no where!. Homeboy had business cards and everything. He started spewing off which corners Where he could be located if I had any problems. He said he could deliver if the order was big enough. I can't understand inviting hustleman to your home but, I was impressed. Hustleman means business!

His movies were so clear.He had a 30 day money back guarantee. He had Dreamgirls y'all for 10 dollars. You know how I feel about Dreamgirls.But I kept it moving. Although it was hard as hell to walk away from it. I started singing the songs in my head. Thinking I could possibly be able to watch this movie as many times that I have watched What's Love Got To Do With It, The Five Heartbeats, The Temptations. Lady Sings the Blues, Sister Act 2 or The Wiz!! I've got these down cold...LOL. My eyes were glued to his screen. I really started to talk myself into this purchase. I could buy this Bootleg and when the movie comes out on DVD I can purchase that too. Knowing good and well I wouldn't. Why?

So after watching my jaw drop, he went in for the kill. "No thank you" I said " I want to support this movie. I enjoyed it and besides I want the extras that will come with it". Aha! I had him. Truly about business he counter offered any two movies for 15. Sadly, I walked away from hustleman. He knew he had the goods. His face looked as if he was thinking. She'll be back...all I needed was to give her a little taste.

Baby I'm Back

What Blogger and I are having is a failure to communicate. Obviously, I misunderstood some of the directions for comments html. Thank you JenellyBean for bringing it to my attention again! I accept that right now Blogger does not want me to add my own flavor to my comment section. So for now, they have won the battle. But the war AIN'T over. Once again, everything appears to be working. Go ahead and give it a shot.LOL


I am officially on the I can't wait to see Dreamngirls list. I found this site DreamgirlsThis fan has posted a countdown to opening day clock , she is serious! She also has a few clips from the movie( spoilers) and articles about the cast. This film looks great.Congrats to Jennifer Hudson for her many awards and her outstanding performance.

Self Destruction

Here goes my rant- I went to see Jackass 2. No I haven't seen Jackass 1. I should have known anything with Jackass in the title would not be funny. First, I would like to point out that it was not my choice. I would also like to point out that I did not drive. If I had, I would have only saw the first 10 minutes of this movie. What the hell is going on? I mean there is actually a market for buffoons to make money doing all kinds of outrageous, nasty, dangerous shit TWICE!! I couldn't bear to watch parts of this movie. I have never snuck into a movie, but I found myself wanting to sneak into another one last night.

I always felt if you have a venue where you could reach millions, say something positive.Do something positive. That's just me. These idiots, well I might as well call them genius because they have actually gotten away with this mess. TWICE!! used the call to act like fools, prancing around half naked doing a bunch of idiotic, juvenile pranks.This is not funny to me. I understand some guys really love this but why? Seeing people hurt or try to hurt themselves is not funny. It's sick, demented, twisted.It's a a call for help. These men should be put away for their own good. However,being that these movies have been successful, it only reinforces the fact that morals have gone to hell with gasoline drawz on. Anything goes, it's such a sad state of affairs.

I would caution parents to not let their children watch this one. I understand you cannot be everywhere, but if at all possible. Keep this one of out the home. I hate to think of a child watching this movie somewhere. I can guarantee that I will be choosing the next movie.This one lived up to it's name and wasn't even worth the two hours I can never get back from my life or the 1.50.

Dreamgirls



This was a play. Now it's going to be a motion picture. I wanted so badly to see this play while on Broadway. I never did. When the opportunity presented itself I chose something else, thinking I would go another time. Last year I had the chance again to go see a revised cast. I didn't go, I wanted still to see the orignal. And since they weren't going to be there niehter would I. I'm not taking anything from the wonderful cast memebers. Through the years I have heard rave reviews for different cast members. But nothing beats an original. No one on this earth can sing And I am telling you like Jennifer Holiday. I must be the only person on earth who never got to see, but knows every song for this play.I had to sing I am changing at an event for school.In the process of learning the song. I learned the songs for the enitre play. As I listened I imagined the scenes in my head. I hope the film does the play justice. I eagerly await.
I don't usually see Jaime and shout, "He's Fine!" But brotha is looking pretty good in this shot.







I did finally get the chance to see part of the original cast, thanks to You tube. The best part... It was a wish fulfilled for me. By the time she hit the last note,I had tears in my eyes.

I apologize

Lately I've been hearing this a lot from various people. Normally, I would accept these words and get past it. But now I feel like quoting Ike Turner. " Yeah you sorry all right"... The following is an excerpt from For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf - Written By Ntozake Shange




One thing I don’t need
is any more apologies.
I have sorry greeting me at my front door.
You can keep yours.
I don’t know what to do with them.
They don’t open doors.
They don’t bring the sun back in.
They don’t make me happy.
Nobody stopped using my tears to wash cars because of a sorry.

I’m simply tired of collecting them.
“I didn’t know I was so important to you”
I can’t get to the clothes in my closet for all the sorries.
I’m gonna leave a message on my phone,
“If you called to say you’re sorry, call somebody else because I’m not taking them anymore.”

I’m going to do exactly what I want to do
And not be sorry for any of it.
Let your sorries soothe your soul
I’m gonna soothe my own.


That about sums my feelings up.
