Ooo! Tackay, Tackay!


I'm going to start something new... This is going to be my "aww hell naw" list of my blog where I say the shit you wanna say, but can't or think you are just too nice to say. I see too much of this shit to remain silent. I'm starting the battle and I'm starting here and now!

Anywho... My snook'ems and I were strolling through Wal-Mart. *gag* And seen this in the movie section next to the other typical "black", straight to DVD, movies. You know... The gospel movies, the "mama please save em's", and the "she/he trippin's." Now, all of those are usually enough for me to roll my eyes. I'm not even going to lie, sometimes I think, "huh, maybe I'll find it on the Internet and try to watch it." But the day I seen this damn movie was when I said enough it a fuqqin nuff!

My boyfriend seen it first. We were in mid-conversation. I was listening to mid-word when all of a sudden there was a pause. Silence followed for a few seconds. "Bloodz Vs. Wolvz? You gottah be f@#kin kiddin' me," blurted out my boyfriend in his heavy New York accent. I couldn't help but bust out into uncontrollable laughter while reading the garbage. The movie is about two groups that run Brooklyn. One runs businesses in the day and the other group runs the night scene. Runnin businesses, great... Tacky premise... Booooo I'm done!!

Really Black movie writers, this is what we are going to allow to let be on the shelves at Wal-Mart? Now, there are crazy movies out there by White folk that just need to be burned, but damn playah... I'm going to start a petition against this type of coonery. Can I get some variety please!? But there is another side to all this.

I have been getting a look at some independent Black movie makers and could admit that I am impressed. But the question is, why isn't this on sale. Well, according to the forces that be, the positive sh!t doesn't sale enough. The different doesn't sale enough. Look at the Black movie section at your local movie spot and see what you see. Yeah, you might get some old-school flicks, but your definitely going to see the typical stuff. I'm not saying its all bad, but be aware of what is being sold and why.
