The Last Word On……….

Posted on by drumsintheglobalvillage

……the GREATNESS of Al Jazeera English.  Nothing more needs to be said.

******************************************

……TV One’s recent airing of a serious documentary on Black men. Congrats and Kudos to Mario!

**************************************************

The next Superman? Hmmm……….

*****************************************************

I liked the first half hour of the one I heard—the second one.  Public radio often lurches SLOWLY to a real examination of Black life in America.

*************************************************

A REAL-LIFE Batmobile, like in “Batman Returns” and “The Dark Knight?” WOW!

************************************************

……..the death of Wizard as a print publication. Yes, long time coming, but still……I hope the new venture will have as many (as in the same) employees, but I doubt it.

********************************************************

I really don’t know what to do with this.  (My nephew kept telling me about this incident.)  I saw other (and whiter) real-life superheroes in the last issue of Wizard. I liked “Kick Ass” a lot—AS A MOVIE.

Okay, With “Narnia” and “Tron” Finally Out Of The Way…….

………THIS is the movie I’m waiting for, anxiously. The GREATEST Superman story EVER. And if you have a lot of time and have read a lot of books, you can check this looonnnggg interview out, because it’s just that significant!

FEBRUARY 17th UPDATE: Enjoyed this:

The Movement and/versus Obama. I agree with Mary Frances Berry here; the Movement will return the day after Obama leaves office.

******************************

What can I say? This and this took care of it for me.

If making $400,000 a day is the end product of a cursed production and a train-wreck-in-the-making, I want to produce one! LOL! 🙂

(By the way, here is the “Spider-Man musical” from my childhood. Ah, the early 1970s…. You opened up the LP and followed the story with comicbook images.)

*******************************************

Really enjoyed this film. Some critics dogged it for being too traditional, but as someone who grew up with old-timey 1950s and 1960s adventure films, what’s wrong with a film in that spirit? Too bad the remaining books in the series don’t deal with the main cast, so between that and the weak box office, I guess that’s it.

For fans only.

Well, she only owns half, but when you don’t have to put up the money……  🙂 And I guess this had to be said. But I think that in the 21st century, we can be sophisticated enough to thank Oprah for her consistent (albeit often-controversial) contributions to Black CULTURE, and separate that from the products she produces for her audience, i.e., white women. Oprah has never been committed to Black MEDIA, and 25 years is a long time to complain about that.
