Hmm, slumdog millionaire huh?
I got nothing against Indian people or their practices but this some bullshit. I didn't watch the Oscars this year and because of that i missed out on heath ledger gettin the Oscar for best supporting actor. I'm all for good movies getting recognized but year after year some wack looking movie sweeps every movie out of the water. This year was about some Indian kid in a game show. How come the award giving academy is interested in every story but the black ones. Penelope Cruz won for best supporting actress for some Spanish shit. I wouldn't be surprised if one black movie was nominated for an award; and that is a damn shame in "post-racial America". Its crazy that the wire still isn't being recognized in the mainstream media. It shows black people in all walks of life. The content isn't for the kids but what they did with that series warrants some recognition, on the real tho
The fault isn't just on the Academy though. The fact that some black movies aren't gettin play is based on mad shit (factors).
2. The people makin them stories (ahem TYLER PERRY) need to go somewhere else with the black storylines. Them shits is tired. The southern grandma and the woman who gets beat by her man not to mention the loud ass madea (alot of us can see a certain family member in her). That shit is tired as fuck. Times are changing, black people are in places that they werent in previously.
3. Black audiences need to support the visual people in showbusiness. If we keep eatin what they feeding us we gonna puke. a while back i heard they were gonna cancel "The Game". Its a show about a football team and their wives. Although i wasnt checking for it then i started watching it and i feel that its actually a pretty good show.
