What movies are you watching?

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

watching boyz in the hood

Great flick. This and Juice are my two favorite from this genre.

Love both of them. And New Jack City.

haven't seen those two

boyz in the hood hits me hard...i caught the last fifteen minutes or so the other day, but it played again yesterday so i recorded it

lenny, LV is laughing at you for watching it.

he's probably the actual racist

[E.H. Ruddock]

Menace II Society

[LoathedVermin72]

[LoathedVermin72]

Menace II Society

[Strat]

Menace II Society

Now THAT is a good movie.

My absolute favorite "in the hood" movie.

Kane and O Dog.

Sharif: What's up, black man?
Caine: Coolin'. Man, why you got that goddamn hood on your head, lookin' like the Grim Reaper?
Sharif: It's cold out here, my brother. You know us black folks not used to this cold air. We a tropical people, you understand? Let them Europeans deal with this madness.
Caine: Then why your tropical ass sittin' on the goddamn cooler?
Sharif: To keep you fools from drinking this poison. That's why.
Caine: Man, you better get your Shelenkem-Shilom ass up off this box and pass me a motherfuckin' brew.

I'd give Baby Boy a slight edge, but yeah, I love Menace too.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

why do you hate boyz n the hood? armond white loves it

[LoathedVermin72]

lol. I think it's essentially an Oscar-friendly version of Menace. Sentimental, didactic, sensationalized, and very poorly executed on every level.

[Strat]

Not to mention this fine gem

I agree.

And it hasnt aged well at all.

Menace II Society is my least favorite of the bunch. Feels hollow to me.
Though LV's criticism of Boyz is fair -- it is overly sentimental at times. I still like it.

i haven't seen menace, and yeah i can see where someone thinks it comes off overly sentimental, but it doesn't bother me

When I was at USC we would watch/quote Menace II Society ad nauseum. Great movie.
