Selma

This movie was SHIT!

I heard that there were some people complaining about it not receiving any awards or whatever. It didn't deserve anything. Even the portrayal of MLK was disappointing, although that had more to do with the writing than it had to do with David Oyelewo's performance. Oyelowo was good, but even then he wasn't Oscar worthy at all. They portrayed MLK as weak is this film and the flow and the focus of the story was just mediocre.

Thoughts?

 

I haven't seen it, but I was always skeptical. Looks like a network TV movie of the week, based off the trailer.

 

Well, it only got critical acclaim because of its subject matter.
I mean, we can't go slagging-off MLK now, can we? :nono:












:wack:

 

word (although I know you only say that because you have inherent prejudice).

The Great MLK is portrayed in a film and so as a default the film must be critically acclaimed. Ludicrous. The film was no good.

 

Looks like some Tyler Perry directed slop.

 

Oh come on....how can you say such a thing?

 

I know...where on Earth did I get such a preposterous notion?

 

Are you suggesting I dislike certain people?

 

I'm suggesting that you dislike Africans and their diaspora.

 

Africans - they're a bit extreme.
African-Americans - no problem at all with.

 

I will say this though, the way African American women, in particular, are portrayed in the media, I hate them. If the media portrayal is to believed the majority of them are finger waving neck jerking, lip pursing, loud mouthed, overweight, masculine, dyed weave hair, overly-accessorized, multiple kids with no fathers having, ebonics-speaking Sheniquas!!

I wrote a review months ago. Very good film. Watched it twice, plus he scene with Oprah getting beaten felt as good as fucking Vida Guerra in the ass.

Exactly.

 

Film was rubbish. Anal sex with Vida Guerra would be fun though.....
