[/caption]Look, I can't give you a critique of a movie that I haven't seen yet. I can't promise that this movie is gonna be good or that it'll be at least worth the ten dollars. What I can promise is that if it doesn't do well then there won't be another movie like it for a long time.
For those of you who live under a rock... This movie was made by George Lucas and even he had a hard time shopping it around to different studios. You can guess why. With an all-black cast, there isn't much of a market for this kind of movie. I'm not going down the racism path. The truth of the matter is that people go to see movies that they can identify with in some regard and with the majority of box office receipts coming from people who don't look like us, I can understand the hesitation to throw $100 million dollars at a movie.
But it happened.
For the first time in a very long time there is an action movie with an all black cast and I want to see more movies like it. If this doesn't do well, there won't be another for a very long time. So it's important that you go see it THIS weekend. Hollywood gauges success based on first weekend sales. It's important to send a strong message.
Times are tough. I'm broke, you're broke and we're barely scraping by, BUT if you somehow manage to scrape by and still get a pair of Concords or drop $80 to get your relaxer then you can spare $10 for this movie ticket. Hell, I don't care if you're busy this weekend. Buy a ticket online and just let it go to waste. Consider it an investment. Just please support the film THIS weekend.
Thanks,
Office of Tired of Madea
