….this trailer.
I can’t say that this has made me forget Tobey McGuire, but WOW!

A 21st Century Video Game :)
Clearly we’ve come a long way since “Donkey Kong!” LOL! 🙂
Randy Weston, "An African Born In America"
19-Word Review For "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance"
I paid $5 to see this movie in a matinee yesterday. It was the right price—not more, not less.
Homegirl
Once apon a time there was a little girl in the ghetto (in my home ghetto, in fact) who wanted to be a princess. She had the talent (and, yes, beauty) to get away with it. She could sing with the range of her godmother and the articulation, the clarity of her cousin. She found that she could sing white songs in a very Black way. And so, she got the tiara and the castle. The Prince, however, brought out the ghetto in her that was hidden. Monsters dwelled and haunted endlessly. And so she died from everything. (Whitney Houston, 1963-2012)
Nothing Like Catching Up With…..
…..a show you realize is GREAT but hadn’t seen a lot of before! “Batman: The Brave and The Bold” (which ended last fall after 65 eps) is FUN, FUN, FUN! (And the more you know about superhero cartoons and comics, the funnier they are! For example, this clip (a pre-opening teaser) makes fun of ’60s cartoon dialogue, when characters kept using each other’s names repeatedly in conversation, kept narrating their actions and naming items, etc. clearly seen on-screen! LOL! 🙂 I love how “B:TBATB” almost always opens with this James Bond-style teaser, featuring a climax from another adventure.) I’m so glad most—if not all—of these eps are online! I’m clearly not gonna stop until I watch all of ’em that are around!
And CONGRATS to the brother who was in charge of this one!
I Want Roland Martin To Return To CNN (After He Talks To GLAAD)…….
…..but I admit that I thought about his tweets when I watched this. This young brother’s courage is admirable!
Three Months Away! More "Avengers" Photos (And The Super Bowl Commerical)!
Who’s that next to Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.)? The purple shirt is a HUGE hint!
Awww…..some Silver Age comic continuity here?
I guess this scene picks up right where the post-credits “epilogue” scene of “Captain America” left off……
I hope Samuel L. Jackson is thinking here, “I am giving this white boy some serious 21st century flavor,” and not, “Wasn’t I once a serious actor back in the 1990s, and why did I have to be in the ‘Star Wars’ films that sucked?!?” LOL! 🙂
And then, this:
Thanks, Courtland…….
…..for keepin’ it real with “Red Tails.” Yep, we saw the same movie—the one with the *%$#$%-up script! (Enjoyed reading the “Letters To The Editor.”) Folks, this film made me want to run out and buy the HBO ’90s joint on DVD! LOL! 🙂
