I mean, HOT DAMN! As if Bodyguard with Whitney Houston wasn't excruciating enough...Now we gotta sit back and watch our boy Usher kick it like Willis and Arnold Jackson with the next rich white counterpart in his new movie "In the Mix"
What's next, Halle Berry and Robert Downet Jr.? (My bad. That already happened in 2003 with "Gothika"...)
As much as I like Usher as an artist, I hate the fact that he sold out to do a movie with a weak ass storyline portraying the cliche "Protector-Protectee Fall in Love" genre just to appease the mass of his white media fans--I mean, I ain't gonna get any pleasure out of this. Are you?
In fact, as a DJ I'm banning the play of all Usher cuts until the movie drops off the big screen. And even still, I'm going to boycott the viewing of this one.
Basically, I'm "On the Verge" and I'm not trying to cross the brink...And Usher doesn't seem to be helping my cause right now.
It really infuriates me to see such a cheesy film hit the screen. We all know the story, he and her have some combining of their worlds encounter and then they fall in love despite the polarities of their friends, lifestyles and race.
I'd rather watch "Waiting to Exhale" and drink some runny ass sour cream through a licorice stick....
Hollywood needs to be managed. They are out of control. You are complaining about Usher when the Chronicles of Narnia has the biggest subliminal "niggaz are gorillas" moment in the movie. And not to mention, why must we have a third King Kong? Is Hollywood still trying to say black men are just big beast who want white women. You know the original King Kong was made in the 30s and that was their way around the race issue. Haven't we grown up? Can't we take Hollywood on? Usher get a media consultant that knows the difference between good scripts and bad ones, and scripts that won't offend your black audience. Wasn't there a movie made a few years back about this white chick dancing in a club with black people? I sort of thought that was a big stretch, but maybe not. When I go to a mixed club, black men only dance with white girls.........hummm
