just like your "brilliant" comments on the MLK Day thread......the reason you don't understand any of this is because you are completely detatched from black people and their culture. I can't understand much of the attraction of the movies my wife watches that she imports from Asia either but I'll be damned if I'll go spouting off about them like an idiot like you do.......damn, some people.........

I you really want to get anal, use of the term "urban" could be construed as racist itself. Who says african (americans) have to be from the city.
In Italy, people in recent years deemed that the italian word used to describe africans, "negro", was derogative. It should be noted that the near literal translation in english is: 'black'. It was never meant as an insult. People in italy don't dislike blacks any more or less than any other race!
So now, the would be enlightened and sensitive people in italy use a term that could be liberally translated as "colored folks". Personally, because of my knowledge of american history, I find that far more disturbing, and it makes me think times when signs would be hun out in front of stores, "no colored folks allowed". *shrug*

I'm sorry for anyone who liked drumline, but that movie sucked big time. It's right there next to "the league of extraordinary gentleman". Jesus christ. Give me a few million dollars I'll do a better movie than that. It's like some idiot took the "world book of cliches" and tossed it into a movie. What a piece of crap.

It's even better if you saw it (Robin Williams) live...oh god I almost peed myself laughing at him.

Hell yeah! That Robin Williams On Broadway had even this brotha right here in tears. He just doesn't give a ****! The Kings of Comedy was funny too. Cedrick was one of the funniest acts! Especially when he took off running, and was also talking about brotha hockey player. OMFG!! (rofl) As for Turbo Matty P and his take on this....before any flaming starts, he has legitimate questions, but the maner in which he expressed it can rub some folks the wrong way. In other words, don't start the flamming today!

That still stands!!
i'm gonna go see it. i'm a b-boy (breakdancer) and i been in battles (competitions), so i want to see how hollywood is gonna disect the culture and make it all violent and act like dancing can save the world. here's how it really goes. you battle, someone or a crew wins, you shake up and congradulate, then you walk away and practice for the next event. hardly any fights and it gets way more abstract then what the previews show. if you want to see some footage, go to www.bboyworld.com the raw footage section. peace
