If shooting begins on March 5,I guess this means that her tour really is cancelled. "I just woke up from a fuzzy dream....you never would believe the things that I have seen". | |

Janet was acting long before her first album was released. I dunno, something about Tyler Perry and his projects just turns me off. | |

His movies have a big audience though. They seem to connect with a lot of people. | |

Funny, I just jokingly mentioned in another thread that she should just do a Madea (Tyler Perry) flick and call it a day. Too bad his films don't interest me.

I saw that play on DVD and it was good but not as memorable as his Meada plays...and "Meet The Browns", which doesn't have Meada, is the funniest although way over the top. COuld be a good role, though.

I don't GET the appeal of Perry. This guy has minimal talent.....similair 2 the various hacks from SNL that u can find all over the place. The R3volution has taken many turns in the BOOM. | |

I was wondering when the tour was supposed to start? Becuase I think his movies tend to have a lower budget and she won't be filming very long. [Edited 2/27/07 9:30am] It's suppose to kick off some time in May... so it's still possible | |

Maybe this isn't such a bad idea for Janet.Tyler's movies have done very well and at this point,Janet really needs a successful project.In another thread,I suggested that she doesn't seem to be inspired by music and performing anymore.Perhaps she should take a break from music and concentrate on something else for a change.A hit movie would be a step in the right direction.

He has lots of great talent it's just people tend to hate that his work is not from the Broadway poitn of view which makes his plays very much entertaining... | |

I don't mind the messages that Perry tries to get across in his work...actually i think his messages are a positive for the community but he needs to start working with people who actually have talent with their pens...

I pretty much agree. I think he has really good intentions and a wonderful vision but the end product turns out to be a hodge podge of I don’t know what. He could use a co-writer if he doesn’t have one or maybe he needs to work with someone else’s script.

That's exactly what he needs. The key to Perry's success though is that he's found an audience and he knows how to deliver to them, and that's 90% of the job right there: Feed the demand. And that demand is from black church folk that aren't holy rollers but the casual church-goer. No one was really addressing that audience and it turned out to be a huge niche audience.

That I can guarantee will never happen. Spike would have no reason to cast her in anything. Cornbread, Grits, and Collard Greens/I got what you need/If you want it/Cuz I'm a pimp, girl/With a drippy, juicy Jheri Curl | |

 Naw, that dude is box office gold right now, so he won't be seeing the straight to dvd section anytime soon with any of his projects. Lionsgate LOVES that dude right about now.

Considering how crazy his ideas can be, he could def squeeze Miss Janet somewhere between his madness. I ain't gotta do nothing but stay BLACK and die! - Lady Day | |

I love Tyler Perry's Madea stuff, and Meet The Browns was hilarious until the end and it gets too outrageous. Some of his other stuff and his TV show weren't really good at all, but he is talented and can put together some hellaciously funny stuff that has a message and a meaning. I can't wait to see Janet in another movie! I liked Poetic Justice, and I still love Nutty Prifessor 2! I also still watch old episodes of Good Times and still cry when she gets burned and abused in her first episode. Also, the episode when Wilona has that boyfrien who keeps showering Penny with gifts and they have that party with all the weirdos and Penny's real mother tries to frame Wilona to get Penny back makes me cry too.
