Color Girls, the new Tyler Perry monstrosity is getting flayed by critics so far. A famous black play gets fucked over by the Tyler Perry, born again Christian dipshit squad. A bunch of great actresses get fucked over, which means that serious black films are toast.

Tyler, go away!

It doesnt matter in the end... all Hollywood cares about is the bottom line and this film will make money. And all of the actresses CAN read. I'm sure they could have passed on the film because their phones are ringing off the hook from other Directors who create vehicles and jobs especially for them..

Hollywood loves Tyler Perry!!! Here's the man who makes black women look like either victims or maniacs and black men like total assholes or lunatics. Great work Tyler!

Can this guy do anything else???

1. Spike Lee is too busy selling vodka in the black community to even bother making the time to create serious films again.

2. John Singleton & Lee Daniels are M.I.A.

Therefore, Tyler Perry is THE only black filmmaker that matters right now.

Why everybody always forgets Kasi Lemmons who directed Eve's Bayou and Talk to Me. She woulda been my choice.

I haven't seen it yet but why do a bunch of great actresses get fucked over?

Did someone put a gun to their head and make them do the movie?

Janet Jackson CAN NOT act but I ain't mad at her.

True.

My favorites from that list above are Antoine Fuqua, Carl Franklin, and F Gary Gray (and yes Kasi Lemmon also) because they made QUALITY films.

I'm not impressed with Tyler Perry films or TV shows, but I won't knock the man's hustle, he's doing his thing and he's satisfying his target audience.

However, one thing we haven't had since the 90s were diversity in Black films, we miss the point a lot about that, we are diverse in our taste, and Perry's films appeal to Black women (especially Black christian women), but that's very narrow. Black men like myself are not into these films, the only reason why we see these films is because our girlfriends/wives want to see it.

In 1991, I remember a wide range of Black films were dropping every month (New Jack City, Jungle Fever, Boyz N The Hood, House Party II, A Rage In Harlem, the Five Heartbeats, Mississippi Masala) and there was the anticipation of the Malcolm X movie that came out the next year. Look at that diversity, action, comedy, romance, drama, etc. And that was just in 1991, from 1989/1990 up until 1997-98, there was plenty of Black films to suit your taste. We don't have that anymore.

Starting in 1989 with Do the Right Thing breaking through until 1997.

He acted in the short film that was based on Eve's Bayou. Extremely underrated actor.

If he, Joe Morton, Jeffery Wright, and Obba Babatunde all took the lead in the same film feature, I'll be content for the rest of my life

He's actually in all of Kasi's movies. He was the dude with long hair that hooked up with Debbie's character in the end.

Yep, the one who was looking for his wife. I love that movie.

don't forget Courtney B. Vance. he is such a great and underrated actor. He's had some shining roles but he goes pretty much unrecognized when it comes to black hollywood. I think most of his work is in indie films. You ought to see him in "Last Supper". I watch that movie solely for his performance.

I saw this film on Friday. On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being the best) this movie was a 1.

Bad acting, bad writing, predictable, way over the top nonsense.

Tyler Perry fucks up any hope for serious black films.

How so?

Why does the future of black film rest on him?

Would you say that the director of a bad "white" film has fucked up any hope for serious white films?

I thought Spike Lee has an upcoming project on MJ? It was supposed to be filmed in Brooklyn, NY. I didn't know about the liquor, but I know about his clothing store.

I agree with your questions. But the American public, from what I see, thinks that the future does.

TP movies are like fast food. Everyone loves that greasy shit, but no nutritional value, and it gives you the shits!
