Ah, I hate my friends sometimes. I was already to mope for the rest of the week, and these clowns gave me five minutes to feel frustrated, then got me back to laughing and focusing on the work I want to do this summer. BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN I CAN’T POST 2 ALL TIME […]
So here’s my ‘pay it forward’ for this week. The finished piece never went live, but a few of you know I already knocked a huge chip off of my ‘black film geek’ bucket list this year when I auditioned for and was cast in a short by Issa Rae and her production company. […]
The only thing I have to add on this Donald Sterling mess is he’s making some of the shorts I’ve written earlier this year seem damn prophetic. Stay tuned on that regard. Moving on, they always tell you to ‘write what you know’. It’s only now on the back end, as I’m writing shorter […]
The Weekend. You made it! Have a good one!
You all know how I feel about the ‘group’ rap song where it feels like everyone is trying to one up each other. I’ve been wearing my ‘movie star’ uniform a lot more lately so this one has been on my mind… [Intro/Chorus 4X: sample of M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes”]“No one on the corner has […]
In terms of the overall package, I will always be preferential to Pac. BUT… If we’re talking about the best lyricist, with the nicest metaphors; in the debate with Rakim, Hov, Nas and whoever else you want to throw in there… [Intro: The Notorious B.I.G. (Diddy) – Bridge in the background]Uhh…What? (That’s right! […]
The latest chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been called the one closest to a ‘real movie’. I get that. Captain America: The Winter Soldier lets us catch up with Marvel’s resident Boy Scout in a post Avengers world. Disclaimer for those who don’t know, when it comes to Marvel, I’m a complete ‘casual […]
I stand corrected. The past month or so as I’ve taken on…you know, I can’t even tell you off the top of my head how many projects I’m simultaneously working on, on some level right now. But as a lot of golden opportunities all hit me at once (because that’s the way it has […]
Don’t really need to do much of an intro for this one do I? All I’ll say is, no matter what day of the week it is, my weekend ALWAYS starts at around the 2:50 mark of this extended version. Have a good weekend!
I’m scapegoating Stevie Wonder for most of this, but now that my attention is back on finishing the Lady rewrite, and more importantly since I’m on a relatively tight deadline, I picked three movie star names out of the list of ‘actresses you guys suggested I should write parts for’, and I’m using those ladies as […]
