This book was good. It vacillated between telling the story of the making of the 1974 film ‘Chinatown’ and going into deep backgrounds on the principle players. Sometimes too deep. <br /><br />Those principles were Producer ROBERT EVANS, Screenwriter ROBERT TOWNE, Actor JACK NICHOLSON and Director ROMAN POLANSKI. <br /><br />I wanted to read this book because I agree like many that ‘Chinatown’ is a classic. I heard about the film, but never watched it until I was studying screenwriting in college. A book I read in college, the nominal ‘Screenplay’ by SYD FIELD mentioned that it was the “perfect screenplay”—and it was. <br /><br />After I studied film in college my admiration for the film grew. I say without honor that like many I willfully ignored the rape charges against Roman Polanski, which to its credit the book does not ignore. <br /><br />The book delves far into Polanski’s past, NOT as any excuse, but to explain his artistic drive and methodology. Those parts of the book seemed wholly unnecessary. <br /><br />The best parts of the book was breaking down how Hollywood worked back then and I assume not too much has changed. The cronyism, the parties, the drinking, the cocaine, ESPECIALLY the cocaine. There aren’t any wild raucous cocaine stories, but it was everywhere. <br /><br />The book really took you through the regime changes and power struggles/dynamics at PARAMOUNT STUDIOS aka “The Mountain”. In between the parties and cocaine, deals were made and unmade. People were hired and fired and in between all of that tumult the people involved managed to turn out a revered and classic film. One can assume that a lot of pictures then and now happen that way. <br /><br />I would recommend this book for fans of ‘Chinatown’ and to film students who want to know how the dynamic in Hollywood between the studio and the talent works.

I went to the JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT: KING PLEASURE© exhibition in New York City, April 18, 2022 and like the gospel classic “I know I’ve been changed” LOL <br /><br />In the future if I mention “Basquiat” it will be for clarification purposes. Like many I’ve called him by the singular “Basquiat”, but after the exhibition and this accompanying catalogue, I will forever call him “Jean-Michel” because I feel like I know the boy, the son, the brother, the man SO MUCH MORE. <br /><br />Through the exhibition and this catalogue you will learn about how an artist, a BLACK artist, who was so in touch with who he was and who his people were. He was “woke” way before that became a term. His work reflected that. <br /><br />Through this catalogue you will also learn A LOT about Jean-Michel’s personality like his hospitality and his humor. <br /><br />To be clear, I "ain’t gon front”, I didn’t know a lot about Jean-Michel beyond he was a famous Black artist named Basquiat and he was from Brooklyn like myself. When the exhibition debuted I thought I should check it out and I’m so glad I did! <br /><br />The exhibition itself features more than 200 artworks and artifacts from the collection of the artist’s estate, most of which have never been seen and this accompanying catalogue features a lot more detail of the exhbition, especially personal passages and reflections from his family, primarily his sisters LISANE BASQUIAT, JEANINE HERVEAUX and his step-mother NORA FITZPATRICK, but many more who knew Jean-Michel are quoted. <br /><br />If you can't get to New York to see the exhibition, I highly recommend this book. It goes into great detail about everything I saw. So much so that I'm strongly contemplating going again. Now that I've read this book I feel like I would enjoy it even more the second time around. His family did a wonderful wonderful job for Jean-Michel. I saw a quote that called this a “family album” and I feel like it’s exactly that. 🖤<br /><br />My extensive "status updates" featuring quotes from the book here on Goodreads @ <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user_status/book/59804003-jean-michel-basquiat" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.goodreads.com/user_status...</a>

This book was a great charting of what it takes to be an independent filmmaker and to work in Hollywood. From the ground up. <br /><br />I heard about this book from my friend, filmmaker MICHAEL DENNIS (known as “Reelblack” online). I was on my winter break from teaching at Morgan State University (Multiplatform Production) and didn’t have time to read the book in full. I enjoyed reading sample pages of the book and promised to revisit. In the meantime I started listening to his podcast “Let’s Shoot! with Pete Chatmon” and that was equally informative. When I returned to teaching in the Spring, I shared relevant clips of his podcast with my classes. <br /><br />This summer I indeed revisited the book and it was great. I’ve studied film on an undergraduate and graduate level and this book not only gives you great advice about maneuvering through Film School, but more importantly what to do AFTER Film School. <br /><br />As Pete states in the book, he’s been “a Director in every medium — television, film, and commercials” having directed almost 50 episodes of television in all formats and takes you through every single journey, step by step, the ups and the downs. He is at oftentimes candid about how he FELT in the moment which was refreshing. You really get a feeling of what it’s like being an artist trying to find your place in this world called Hollywood. <br /><br />Through this book you can also tell that he’s a Professor (New York University) as his book is replete with many, many lessons and advice about the process. Each chapter ends with not only a “keyword” for the chapter, but a list of resources and “receipts”. Pete supplies many photos and links to the things he talked about in the previous chapter that can prove to be a valuable resource for anyone that wants it. <br /><br />Personally I find that many people are not aware of the dedication and overall process it takes to becoming a working director in the industry, myself included having only done corporate and independent film. <br /><br />I found this book not only reaffirmed a lot of what I knew, but added a lot that I did not know and is a great guide to anyone who wants to know—A Director's Journey.

I generally don’t read a lot of vintage comic books before my time, but this from the late great DWAYNE MCDUFFIE (look him up) convinced me to read this volume. <br /><br />“This overlooked and underrated classic is arguably the most tightly written multi-part superhero epic ever. If you can get your hands on it ... sit down and read the whole thing. It's damn-near flawless, every issue, every scene, a functional, necessary part of the whole.” <br /><br />Of course he was absolutely right! <br /><br />I didn’t know much about the Black Panther besides he was a Black superhero. There was renewed interest in the character circa 2015 with a new Black Panther series written by TA-NEHISI COATES and drawn by BRIAN STELFREEZE launching in 2016 and of course the character’s entrance into cinema in ‘Captain America: Civil War’ also in 2016. <br /><br />I wanted to read more about the original run of the character and Mr. McDuffie’s recommendation was perfect. <br /><br />I can’t say it any better than McDuffie when he said the comic was “seamlessly integrated words and pictures; clearly introduced characters and situations; a concise recap; beautifully developed character relationships; at least one cool new villain; a stunning action set piece to test our hero's skills and resolve; and a story that is always moving forward towards a definite and satisfying conclusion. “ <br /><br />T’CHALLA was so great in these comics. Majestic and suave. He was a top notch warrior/superhero and he knew it. He definitely had SWAGGER! <br /><br />I can see why this run on the comics are held in high regard. The writer DON McGREGOR and the artists (aka “pencilers”) RICH BUCKLER, BILLY GRAHAM (not the evangelist) & GIL KANE did terrific jobs bringing these stories to life! I totally enjoyed these issues originally published almost fifty (50) years ago.

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5045171430">4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
‘Moonlighting’ (1985–1989) was one of my favorite shows as a kid and I’ve rewatched it over the years and it still holds up. <br /><br />As the author states “This is not a critical analysis of the series, but a look at the creative process.” and as a filmmaker, that’s what I loved about it. <br /><br />This book highlights how this show was brought together to film the pilot (first episode) and then its “classic episodes” all through interviews with the people who created the show. <br /><br />Pretty much the entire cast and crew are interviewed. BRUCE WILLIS agreed to be in the book, but his schedule just didn’t work out. The recent public reveal about him may have had something to do with it. (In March 2022, Bruce Willis’ family announced the actor is retiring from the profession after being diagnosed with aphasia, a language disorder caused by brain damage that affects a person’s ability to communicate.) <br /><br />Don’t worry, there’s plenty of great stories about working with Bruce Willis, just not from him. <br /><br />Series creator GLENN GORDON CARON, actor SYBILL SHEPHERD and many other cast, crew and guest stars are interviewed in the book though. I loved that many of the crew are interviewed. The hard working crews are often the unsung heroes of a media production and in this book they get their chance to say what they contributed. Everyone from Producers, Writers, Production Coordinators, Editors etc were interviewed and it gives you a real glimpse into what it takes to create a one hour television series that was very much like a film in budget and production values. <br /><br />Everyone interviewed goes into detail about the ups and the downs of creating this complicated show—and it was complicated. The show is revered because there was literally nothing like it on television, but to create it was extremely hard. Everyone interviewed seemed extremely honest about their experience working on it. <br /><br />This is a really great book for fans of the show and or people who want to know the industry like Film Students. Yes this was decades ago, but not much has changed in the studio system as far as studio/network demands and the creatives who have to work within them. <br /><br />Moonlighting was one of a kind television series and after reading this book I don’t feel like they are so much “Moonlighting strangers, Who just met on the way”<br /><br />Epilogue or in Moonlighting fashion—Fourth Wall Break. <br /><br />In this book, published in 2021, ‘Moonlighting’ creator Glenn Gordon Caron stated “That’s the reason you can’t see ‘Moonlighting’ right now—because of all that music. None of it was cleared because nobody anticipated DVDs or streaming. They’ve asked me if we can change the music and I always say, “No, we can’t change the music.”” <br /><br />On October 5, 2022 Caron tweeted that he’s working to finally bring the show to streaming. <br /><br />In the first tweet, he writes, “Can’t keep it under my hat any longer- the business of getting all five seasons of ‘Moonlighting’ starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd ready for streaming has begun!”<br /><br />He then adds, “It’s an ambitious project. Lots of moving parts. And it could take quite a while. But I wanted you to be the first to know.”<br /><br />It seems like the parent company (Disney) is trying to work out the many music rights related to the show and I hope they are successful. The episodes I rewatched, the music IS a key component of the series and it would be a shame if some of that music is replaced. In the past shows like ‘Miami Vice’ (1984–1989) had to replace certain songs for a DVD and or syndication release because deals or could not or would not be made. Let us hope that the powers that be can come to a resolution on all of the “moving parts” and we can finally stream this great show!

Even though there was great trepidation in finally telling the mysterious origin of the most famous member of the X-MEN ever—it kind of had to be done. <br /><br />As TOM DESANTO, Executive Producer/ Co-Writer X-Men: The Movie (2002), wrote in the Foreword “Why take the chance of damaging the character?" Joe [Quesada] looked me dead in the eye and said, "If anyone is going to tell the origin of Logan, Marvel should do it first, not the movie." You know what? I agreed with him.”<br /><br />Basically, MARVEL COMICS then Editor-in-chief JOE QUESADA wanted to tell the origin of Wolverine before any movie studio would. (That studio at that time was 20TH CENTURY FOX.)<br /><br />I think they did a good job at explaining exactly where he came from and even still weaving in some mystery. There are some heavy implications in his childhood that I won’t spoil here. <br /><br />But you find out his exact given name and how he came to be known as “Logan” and “Wolverine”. There’s also a lot of 19th century melodrama thrown in. <br /><br />The series artists (originally six issues) PAUL JENKINS (Script, plot), ANDY KUBERT (Pencils) and Richard Isanove (Digital painting) all did great jobs at bringing this story to life. The artwork by Kubert and Isanove was particularly outstanding. <br /><br />In the end I totally agree with Marvel Comics choosing to tell the true story of Wolverine. It is the character they created and if anyone told the story FIRST, it should have been them and they told it well.

Butler</a><br />
My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5169039424">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
It occurred to me that I’ve never read a book relating to slavery before and to start with this one is a doozy! I have to say that the new 2022 television adaptation of this novel inspired me to read the book first. <br /><br />To tell this story about back and forth time travel from the present (the year 1976 in the novel) to the Antebellum south in the 1800s was amazing and spellbinding. Even though the story establishes some sort of rules as to when and how the time travel occurs, you still never knew exactly when and how it would happen. That led to a lot of the suspense in the story for the lead character DANA.<br /><br />After I finished the book I knew I had to read some background on it. <br /><br />From what I found, OCTAVIA BUTLER read a lot of slave narratives, including the autobiography of FREDERICK DOUGLASS, but decided she needed to moderate events in her book in order to attract enough readers and I totally agree with that. <br /><br />There’s so much great interactions between the characters that you sometimes forget and think it was just a “period piece” about “life on the farm in the olden days” and then—WHAM the author hits with you some really real realities of slavery. I think to imbue this story with some of the harsher realities of slavery, that I’ve heard about, would alienate the reader. This was fiction after all and not a hardcore text of record. You definitely got a clear sense of the time period without sugarcoating it at all and losing none of the substance of what it must have been like on a plantation in those days. <br /><br />Choosing to tell this story of a modern Black person time traveling to the period of slavery was a great way to reveal what life was like back then and how a Black person had to really change their disposition and “how they moved” to survive in that time. Through the lead character Dana, you get to see how as a Black person living in modern times you can say you won’t do what Black folks did back then—until you become one of those—Black folks back then. <br /><br />This is my first Octavia Butler novel and her writing is perfection. It’s Science Fiction, but then not also with a real flair for natural dialogue. I felt the very real relationship between Dana and her husband KEVIN and well as Dana and her Antebellum “tether” RUFUS. Rufus aka “Rufe” is not a nice person, to put it very mildly, but Butler makes him somewhat relatable in the sense that he is “wounded”. <br /><br />I really don’t want to reveal much else, because I thought the story, every step of the way, was terrific! One of the best novels I have ever read. And that’s saying something.

It's a story about an African American father trying to do his daughters hair for the first time. As the creator of this project @matthewacherry put it, "I've had the idea for this project for a couple of years now, but it wasn't until I recently started coming across a lot of viral videos of black fathers interacting with their sons and daughters online that I finally had the confidence to try and make this a real thing." See this story is ALL TOO REAL to me. One morning☀️before school, I TRIED to do my daughter's hair and it was an EPIC FAIL!🤦🏾♂️ I tried to do her hair the way I'd seen her mother do it dozens of times, but I was failing miserably and her school bus 🚌 was due to arrive soon.🙇🏾 I eventually put something together, but I wouldn't call it a hairstyle or "done". 🤦🏾♂️ She made her bus, but I felt so bad for her that day.😥😔 After that, the only thing I did with her hair was grease her scalp after it was braided (pictured, top left) and I did that WELL! 👌🏾LOL On a last note: Any resemblance between the shirt color of the animated father and mine I'm sure is pure coincidental. LOL 😂 Because of almost 5,000 people that backed 'Hair Love' it surpassed its initial goal of $75K and is currently the most funded short film in the history of @Kickstarter raising $284K, 378% of its goal.🙌🏾 🔷NEW LINK: “Sony Animation Picks Up ‘Hair Love’ Short From ‘BlacKkKlansman’ EP Matthew A.

<br />
SYNOPSIS: Young Thurgood Marshall faces one of his greatest challenges while working as a lawyer for the NAACP. Marshall travels to conservative Connecticut when wealthy socialite Eleanor Strubing accuses black chauffeur Joseph Spell of sexual assault and attempted murder. He soon teams up with Sam Friedman, a local Jewish lawyer who's never handled a criminal case. Together, the two men build a defense while contending with racist and anti-Semitic views from those who deem Spell to be guilty.<br />
<br />
<b> Release date</b>: October 13, 2017 (USA)<br />
<br />
<b> Director</b>: Reginald Hudlin<br />

The trailers did not do the film justice in my opinion and the full film is far better. Director REGINALD HUDLIN, who did a great job with the period setting, crafted this movie like a superhero tale. The hero is up against insurmountable odds and he has his trusty sidekick to help him out of this latest debacle. This is NOT a #ThurgoodMarshall BioPic, but a “case in the life”. In comic parlance, I’ve heard this called an “origin story” and that’s exactly what it was. What sold this picture for me were the performances. They were really good to terrific! The lead prosecutor played by DAN STEVENS, in a really good performance, didn’t come off as a mustache twirling racist and neither did the judge, played by the always brilliant JAMES CROMWELL. The “defense table” of CHADWICK BOSEMAN, JOSH GAD and STERLING K. BROWN each were terrific! I wanted to see this movie, but I kinda didn’t know what to expect. It’s really good and I think young and old will enjoy it.</a></div>

The film in a nutshell is when Chris (<b>Daniel Kaluuya</b>, pictured above left) goes home with his white girlfriend Rose (<b>Allison Williams</b>, pictured above right), he is apprehensive as she hasn't told her parents that he is black. Once they get there things turn creepy. Things turn creepy because of the <b>The Order of The Coagula </b>(<b>TOOTC</b>).<br />

Rose’s parents Dean and Missy Armitage (pictured above) who turn out to be “mad scientists” their damn selves have furthered TOOTC experiment through Dean’s surgeon skill and Missy’s hypnotic skill.

Basically, like one of the featured victims in the film Andre Hayworth, a jazz musician, played by <b>LaKeith Stanfield</b>, had his body taken, the brain of an older white man put into his body, but retains his ability to play jazz. Chris’ body is selected for a blind man because of his artistic eye as a photographer.<br />

Near the end of the film Chris finds a box of photographs of his girlfriend Rose and several other black men. There’s also a picture of her and her parents employee Georgina, but Georgina looks very different than she does now.<br />
<br />
Without giving too much more away, Chris gets away from the crazy family and at the end is rescued by his cousin Rod.<br />
<br />
The thing is though, what happened to the other victims of The Order of The Coagula procedure? That’s what I WANT to know.<br />

Let me start by saying I DO NOT want to see a sequel or a regular television series. Even my beloved <i>Law & Order </i>and <i>The X-Files</i> ran out of ideas eventually.<br />
<br />
I can see the government forming a special task force to investigate not only <b>The Order of The Coagula </b>(<b>TOOTC</b>), but their victims. There have obviously been several victims of TOOTC procedure and are living new lives. Much like Andre Hayworth who is now living as Logan King, husband to Philomena King.<br />

She can Co-Lead the task force with some federal agent who’s a skeptic of course. She by now is totally invested in the case having been fingered as the detective who ignored it in the first place. She has a lot to prove. Of course you have to add some type of doctor/neurosurgeon to the task force to explain certain scientific things. To add levity to the team you can add <b>Lil Rel Howery</b> reprising his role of Rod Williams from <i>Get Out</i>.<br />

It appears Chris is still too traumatized to participate and Rod is their closest attachment to the case. He knows as much about the case, maybe more, than Detective Latoya.<br />

Their immediate task is to find “Patient Zero”, the first successful TOOTC transplant. Each episode they find other “transplants” as they call them and no one seems to want to cooperate. Some even become dangerous. I would also like to see what it might take to prosecute some of these people. What would the charges be?<br />
<br />
I think the potential storylines are RIPE with possibilities. Basically it’s–whatever happened to the other victims of this nefarious plot?<br />
<br />
That’s all I have, or are willing to develop for something, that probably will never happen. I just thought it was a fun exercise like the one I did for the non-existent sequel <a href="http://profanitymaybe.blogspot.com/2012/02/set-it-off-2.html" target="_blank"><i>Set It Off 2</i></a>, the number of hits to that idea to date is over 60,000. Whodathunk that?<br />
<br />
If anything, <i>Get Out</i> has got me looking at my black horror movie I wrote back in 1998...<br />

<br />
I first heard about this web series via the <a href="https://tribecafilm.com/news/welcome-to-old-new-york-money-and-violence-web-series" target="_blank">2015 Tribeca Film Festival</a>.<br />
<br />
As the article states, this series was DIY (Do It Yourself) as far as production values. Personally I’ve studied media my whole adult life, academically and personally, so I could see the obvious flaws in the production. I came into Money & Violence knowing it was DIY low budget filmmaking and boy was it, but that didn’t make it nonetheless compelling. As I tweeted<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-lang="en">

.<a href="https://twitter.com/moneyndviolence">@moneyndviolence</a> To me the KEY🔑 to <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MoneyAndViolence?src=hash">#MoneyAndViolence</a> is in the space of a sitcom they deliver the real, gritty hardcore reality of the streets</div>

The last few episodes were up to an hour and I don’t know if that worked as well. By the end of Season One they were doing THE MOST with the episode lengths. Most of the Season was like 25-30 minute episodes which was perfect.<br />
<br />
About the quality of the show, it definitely was DIY, but I’ve seen worst and they also was doing the most with a lot of night shooting. Shooting scenes at night is tough because you have to make sure the scene is lit enough so you can see what’s going on. The version I watched was also the “remastered HD” version so it might have looked worse in the original cut.<br />

<br />
The story was gritty was hell, the two main characters RAFE and MIZ were robbers as in stick-up men. If you had a large amount of money, Rafe and Miz were coming for it. The series also has two other main cast members.<br />

When I started watching this first season I couldn’t stand the characters of KANE and SHANE, I could see that they had storylines going somewhere, but they seemed too inept to really care about. By the end of the season I see where they were going, RAFE and MIZ were the “elder statesmen” of the game and Kane and Shane were the new youngins.<br />
<br />
The story did dip into other areas of the crime game as well as personal stories involving the main characters. The most compelling of the series is anything involving Rafe and Miz, everything else is secondary.<br />
<br />
I guess the worst part of the series was the acting, but therein lies the rub. You can tell that no one and I mean no one was a trained actor, but they had that look, that vibe. They had a Jamaican storyline where the Jamaicans sounded like real Jamaicans with THICK accents and patois. I dug the fact that it was authentic, but without subtitles those scenes fell flat and became white noise. The characters though felt very, very real and of the streets.<br />
<br />
Ultimately I agree with this from the Tribeca article.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Perhaps the show’s biggest draw is its DIY production value, which includes episodes that look as if they were shot on a cell phone and performances by a cast of local Brooklyn residents, rather than trained actors. The show’s creator and cast will be the first to admit they had never acted, edited, or been behind a camera before the filming of the show. Verneau is also the writer, editor, director, and show’s lead character. He has said he learned to edit only months prior to the show’s premiere using YouTube tutorials. Still, despite the shaky cameras and grainy picture quality, the allure lies in its authenticity. The web series is written and performed by Brooklyn natives and this is reflected in the accents, slang, and music.”</blockquote>
What it lacks in production quality it more than makes up in AUTHENTICITY!<br />
<br />
I enjoyed the first season and by the end I cared about all four of the main characters and where their story was going.<br />
<br />
You can read what I thought about Season One as I watched it via this twitter thread starting with this tweet <a href="http://bit.ly/MAVseason1tweets" target="_blank">HERE</a> or clicking the tweet below.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">SEASON TWO</span></b></div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b>Tidal</b> picked up web series, <i>Money & Violence</i> after Season One and after they ended with failed crowdfunding efforts for Season Two. <b> Jay Z’s</b> music streaming service stepped in to deliver fans with the next episodes which was great since the Flatbush Brooklyn-based series attracted nearly a million viewers each episode of the first season.<br />
<br />
You could tell by the opening credits of Season Two that MAV had more money for their production. Everything looked sleeker and dare I say more “professional”. Everything out the gate looked better. You could tell that they had a more experienced crew on this season.<br />
<br />
The shots, the editing, the sound, everything was next level. The acting, not so much. The show continues to use a lot of the same characters/actors from season one and only the main characters seemed to have gotten better. It's ok though, the appeal of MAV has always been its street authenticity. The Jamaicans were back with their thick accents and patois, but this time with subtitles which made their storyline far more palatable<br />
<br />
The stories are also slightly more elaborate as the many characters get a lot to do. The main two RAFE and MIZ are also taking their game to the next level. No longer robbing the greater Brooklyn area, they're now moving into “importing and distribution” so to speak. Their new deals involve a lot more strategy, several new characters including more guest stars, one a famous rapper/actor. KANE and SHANE also get more to do and their stories from the first season are expanded.<br />
<br />

<br />
Season Two was also more in the “cable model” with a 12 episode season with episodes generally one hour in length. The one hour episodes were cool, but I kinda miss the short 20-25 minute episodes they had at the beginning of Season One, such is life though, as they’re trying to enter more into the mainstream. I enjoyed Season Two even if some of the storylines were clunky and most of the acting even clunkier. The series still had that street appeal.<br />

However, one major cast member IS NOT returning <b>Rene Guercy</b> who played "Miz".<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Good day Instagram family," Ray wrote on his @ray_day9 page " I don't want to mislead people so I would love for you guys to hear it from me first. I'm no longer part of the Money and Violence cast, nor do I want any association with the project. Those who have watched and supported my journey in becoming an actor, it's appreciated and my acting career won't stop because of this. You have to stand for something or fall for anything. With that being said, God will continue blessing me because I stayed true to myself and never hated."–Revolt, February 2017 </blockquote>
<br />
I really don't know what this means for the future of the series since the Rafe/Miz dynamic was the best of the show to me, but I'm still down for Season Three.<br />
<br />

<br />
Who knew three months later it would WIN the Academy Award for Best Picture in one of the most unheralded ways.<br />
<br />
In any case, it is the Best Picture and below you can read my review.<br />

The marketing makes it seem like a straightforward artistic piece and while it is that, it was WAY MORE hood and grounded in black life than I thought it would be. It was straight up real son! Trust. The marketing states "a portrait of black lives that shatters stereotypes" and I COMPLETELY agree. Please don't let any preconceived notions about this film deter you from seeing it. The acting is terrific. ALL THREE actors playing the character of "Chiron" at three different ages (in the video) do great jobs! The supporting cast does great too especially #MahershalaAli who is stealing everything he's in nowadays. The film is visually stunning, beautifully shot by cinematographer JAMES LAXTON and superbly #WrittenAndDirected by #BarryJenkins.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 BELIEVE the hype, Moonlight is a great as everyone says.</a></div>

My review of #SerialPodcast instagram.com/p/xnGmFLJtVq/ is my MOST commented upon post I EVER had on Instagram. The #AdnanSyed #Serial Stans are REAL! I think the guy is GUILTY. I know too many "slick talkin" cats like him even though as someone pointed out to me that if you're in jail that long, you start talking slick too. While I agree with that, he still sounded shady to me. #Dankshrug I'm not gonna get into again here, you can read the convo @ #DankSerialReview or at the link above.

It still kind of lacked any real structure, but they tried to focus on one issue an episode and they did save the best stuff for the last episodes. As a fan of #48HoursMystery this show was more like fan fiction than journalism. Halfway through I'm thinking is host #SarahKoenig in love with the suspect or what? Geez. She seemed to be practically fawning over dude. Maybe because he's the black dude, but too many people on the podcast are pointing their fingers at JAY all the while saying that he didn't kill anyone. I'm like damn! Why they trying to make dude a scapegoat? At best, my feeling was he did help bury the body which unto itself is hella bad, but I think at the point his friend showed up with a dead body in the trunk that he just got caught up. For whatever reason. He did testify against the convicted killer. So he kind of did the right thing. Now about the convicted killer #AdnanSyed. I thought from the FIRST episode that he was guilty and that opinion did not change over the course of the season. Everything about him was just wrong to me. His morals, his values, the way he spoke...but as a friend pointed out to me, at the point he was on the podcast, he was incarcerated for 15 years. He BETTER sound hood after that length of time. But beyond that, he just "talked too slick" for me. As I stated before, I've known too many cats like that. And that's JUST his voice. I'm sure if I could talk to him face to face it would send up MORE red flags. He's a slick talker for sure, and I can see why he has people like his biggest fan Sarah pulling for him. LOL. To be fair to Sarah she does voice doubts too, but I think that was to give the podcast a dramatic arc. LOL (continued in the comments.

I liked him from the onset. See I liked his first film <b><i>Alien 3</i></b> the first time I saw it, before I knew who "David Fincher" was.<br />
<br />
Over the years he continued to amaze me. His films as indicated in this great video are a list of if not now, what will be classics. SHOUT OUT to <a href="https://twitter.com/robinsonbro" target="_blank">@robinsonbros</a> for posting this video<br />

<span style="color: blue;">#DB1stImpression #Pharrell's New album #Girl #Review The 10 tracks on this album are exactly what you think a Pharrell album would be smooth, fun and delightful. (YES "Happy" is on the album.) As promised there is no hip hop on the album and it has a nice pop appeal to it. Even the tracks that don't stand out as singles are pretty cool. I think the album is a #winner and if you're a fan of Pharrell and his music you'll like it. I posted the standout tracks to me as I listened to them the first time on <a href="http://instagram.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a> @ hashtag #DBPGirl</span></blockquote>

This show lost so much when <b>John Amos</b> left. Yes it was show business crap, but the strength of the show was the INTACT #BlackFamily. This small clip shows you that as a boy all that tough talk ceases if daddy says no. Pretty much as simple as that. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
In real life I think a lot of weak male adults (can't really call them "men") who beat women and such suffer from not only a lack of a father, but ANY positive adult male role models to foster their development. Arrested development is more than a R&B group from back in the day. It's a real syndrome. That lack of development leads to all kinds of societal problems. </blockquote>

I'll get off my soapbox for this soliloquy could go on for days. Another great 1975 episode of 'Good Times' that's still relevant today. </blockquote>

#nfotd <b>#BlueCaprice</b> was dark and methodical just like I suspect the real killers were. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The film focuses on the relationship of the two killers from beginning to end. The film is stripped and scaled down, but I like a lot of what they did with it. The direction is really nice and the performances were really good. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>TEQUAN RICHMOND</b> is really good hardly saying anything at all. Just observing and reacting. Cold and distant.<br />

<div>
"Cold" could also describe <b>ISAIAH WASHINGTON</b>, but he was also much more. His character was like the picture dark and methodical with a bunch of simmering rage thrown in. He could've easily mad this a "mustache twirling villain", but didn't. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
BLUE CAPRICE was a good character piece that doesn't try to explain the killers, it just showed you what their relationship was like and how twisted it was. </div>
<div>
