That's weird by Shan	Jan 11th, 2008 08:57:30 AM
Did all the talkbacks that were recently posted just get re-ordered?
Never mind by Shan	Jan 11th, 2008 08:59:21 AM
Just two Bale stories in quick succession. Which is also a bit weird but in a different way.

The Preview by MrDagon	Jan 11th, 2008 09:14:02 AM
looked sucky.
So are you saying you like it? by theBigE	Jan 11th, 2008 09:39:08 AM
"FIRST SUNDAY is a dud with moments of inspiration that add up to enough for me to recommend the film, but there have already been worse crimes committed against screens in America this year than this movie." Read this sentence again, Capone. Do you recommend it or not?

Not every movie by norrinrad	Jan 11th, 2008 09:55:00 AM
is going to be filet mignon, some are going to be greesy cheeseburgers. And enjoying some junk food/movies from time to time is okay. I think Capone gets that.
sounds... ethnic by ironic_name	Jan 11th, 2008 09:55:32 AM

Oh and women like to be treated low class by Pipple	Jan 11th, 2008 10:11:19 AM

Homophobia, Stereotypes, And Low-Class Treatment Of Women by skimn	Jan 11th, 2008 10:53:46 AM
..so I take it this will be Don Imus' favorite film of the year?
Homophobia, Stereotypes, And Low-Class Treatment Of Women by IAmJack'sUserID	Jan 11th, 2008 11:02:31 AM
So it will be a movie version of some rap song...ANY rap song? I think the brevity of this review reflects certain demographic "reaching out", because who in their right minds would want to see an Ice Cube movie? This review reminds me of when white celebrities who are accused of racism or something similar spend a day or so with the "black community" and then go on with their lives, like Dog the Bounty Hunter did. I think its just a way of trying not to look like a racist, because in today's world of Jacksons and Sharptons around every corner ready to spring, you have to be proactive lest you want to be marched against.
I must admit... by mbeemer	Jan 11th, 2008 11:44:50 AM
I did find the aside to the BIG black lady in the commercial to be funny. ("Move and I'll bust a cap in yo' ass!" "Don't worry honey, he ain't got that many bullets...") But other than that, nope, not gonna see it!
I'm glad by Bloo	Jan 11th, 2008 11:53:39 AM
I'm not the only one that this was a Friday -quel of some sort
kat williams... by imkida	Jan 11th, 2008 12:28:29 PM
is hilarious. i am in no way promoting this film, cuz i'm sure it isn't as good as some of the potential that's in it, but watch his stand up. HI-FUCKIN-LARIOUS!
Homophobia, Stereotypes, And Low-Class Treatment Of Women by crazyhorse2099	Jan 11th, 2008 01:47:30 PM
If you DON'T want homophobia, stereotypes, and low-class treatment of women in your African American film comedies, your only real option is something by Tyler Perry.
Jesus FUCKING Christ by samsquanch	Jan 11th, 2008 07:34:37 PM
why the fuck is this movie being reviewed here? Am I going to have to slog through reviews of every goddamn movie that gets a theatrical release now? I thought this was a site for nerds, not date-raping jocks.
samsquanch by Zozma	Jan 11th, 2008 08:18:14 PM
kat williams character was funny. the rest is generic barber shop 1 caliber hijinks. sans the "ethnic wit", mostly.

i like my comedies heavy on the political incorrectness, thanks.
FYI, "IAmJack'sUserID" by DeeJay	Jan 12th, 2008 10:29:20 AM
For nearly a quarter of a century, rap music has been a genre far broader than you recognize. While the "Gansta' Rap" sub-genre tends to get the most exposure (primarily due to its popularity with young white males). Additionally, the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton are almost exclusively invited to dialog about racial politics after situations have come to a head. Whether or not this review is an attempt to "reach-out," that conclusion can't be drawn based on the premise you offer. While you're entitled to your opinion, it's dishonest to present it as informed analysis. That said, I just don't see where "First Sunday" has the wherewithal to do much but bring in slightly more than its estimated negative return, if one controls for marketing costs. Right now, it would seem that the same percentage of Hollywood that "gets" Black films is equivalent to the percentage that "got" genre movies in 1989.
DeeJay, could you form complete sentences, please? by IAmJack'sUserID	Jan 12th, 2008 11:14:44 AM
I am inclined to believe your post was an attempt to give the illusion that you exude some sort of intelligence, and to illustrate that with the fact that you happen to listen to rap music. Unfortunately, your sentence fragments and word excesses reveal your failure. FYI, a quarter of a century is only 25 years, and hardly anything rap can brag about. Also, I don't remember presenting anything as "informed analysis"; this is after all an 'Aint It Cool News' article talkback (lol).
UserID's Jokes... He's Got A Million Of 'Em! by DeeJay	Jan 12th, 2008 01:47:29 PM
Simply add a comma at the end of my first sentence, and replace the following "While" with "though"... and feel much better about yourself! :-) By the way, your “inclinations” seem to be the problem, fellow poster. Were you to replace them with an informed opinion, it would be nice. Still... the reality here is that you simply aren't qualified to make gross generalizations about rap music or Rev. Jackson. For much the same reason, I tend not to make broad generalizations about Fellini films... not having viewed that entire body of work. Furthermore, the difference between you and I is that I normally like to know what I'm talking about, instead of trying to hide simpleton comments behind what I think are "funnies." Discarding the fact that I actually didn't claim to listen to rap music, the idea that you would be inclined to write something as obvious as "a quarter of a century is only 25 years" likely illustrates the full depth of your thought process. I mean... that's just a breakthrough in linear thinking. It's up there with saying a square only has 4 sides and a foot is only 12 inches. Sheesh. Do you even recognize the grand irony of this particular talback's title being on AICN?
