Vern, you missed the best thing about the music by Continentalop	Jun 7th, 2009 06:56:13 PM
The fucking on the nose lyrics. Like when Black Dynamite goes to his brothers apartment and finds out that someone broke into it, the song lyrics are "Somebody broke into my dead brother Jimmy's apartment..." That plus the end credit song.

Sweet[back] review, Vern by seppukudkurosawa	Jun 7th, 2009 07:24:39 PM
The thing I was most worried about was them overplaying the comedy, the same way the annoying SNL graduates have done in their movies. Blaxploitation is larger than life as it is. I always forget how weirdly comical most of those movies are, from the strange Greek chorus effect of most of the background songs' lyrics to the leftfield attempts at convincing the audience of their characters' baddassitude (Mario Peebles eating raw lizards, for example). All you gotta do is follow that template without adding too many goofy Zuckerisms and you've got a funny movie right off the bat. Thanks for the write-up, Vern. I just HOPE that Hotmail thing was a joke...

Vern-Thick as Thieves by conniebrean1	Jun 7th, 2009 07:35:18 PM
I've always loved this movie and wondered why Pointy Williams wasn't being used more. He seemed like this comedic secret weapon that nobody knew about. But what's the deal with Rebecca De Mornay's character? As the cop, she really doesn't affect the plot and she vanishes 2/3 of the way through never to come back. Was there some studio note that said to lose her character or something? It just feels unfinished, otherwise it'd be one of my favorite movies. Certainly one of Baldwin's best performances. "What kind of black man drives a volvo?" "Kind that cares about safety."

Quinten should do a movie with White by antonphd	Jun 7th, 2009 07:44:53 PM
We got a tease of them together in Kill Bill on dvd, but I want the real thing. White deserves a real film with a real director.

Thanks for the review, Vern. Really looking forward to this (and like some others I thought Thick as Thieves was quite good - as was White's character in the movie).

UNDISPUTED 2 is so much fun by George Newman	Jun 7th, 2009 08:21:58 PM
watched it one night with a bunch of guys. Someone rented it, many were skeptical (including me), and we had an incredible time watching it. White was fantastic and the action is some of the best hand-to-hand stuff in years!

Vern, I was at the 9:30 screening at SIFF by BadMrWonka	Jun 7th, 2009 09:38:08 PM

What if a white man had written and directed this? by D.Vader	Jun 7th, 2009 09:41:32 PM
Serious question for all non-white talkbackers out there. If a white man had written and directed this, would you feel it was offensive? I'm sure its a very thin line, and I'm not asking this to stir things up. Just genuinely curious.
That said: REALLY looking forward to this! by D.Vader	Jun 7th, 2009 09:41:59 PM
Looks hilarious, I've loved all the trailers so far and show them to all my friends.

Hey wait, Scott Sanders came to speak to my class! by D.Vader	Jun 7th, 2009 10:08:22 PM
I thought his name sounded familiar. He's a fellow graduate of UNC at Chapel Hill. I remember he came and spoke to my class, "The Business of the Business" 5 years ago, and he showed a short film of his (which isn't listed on his IMDB credits), but did star a familiar character actos (whose name I can't recall). He was a cool cat. Scott Sanders, I mean. I hope this brings him a lot of success.
Blaxploitation Rules by Cinemanimetal	Jun 7th, 2009 10:08:30 PM
Blaxploitation is one of my favorite genres of film. Mostly, it is because you are almost always guaranteed an awesome soundtrack. Even in some of the not as cool movies there is some funky cool thing going on in the background. I can't wait to see this one!

Dunno if you know this D. Vader.... by theycallmemrtibbs	Jun 7th, 2009 10:58:57 PM
There were quite a few "Blaxpoitation" films directed by White Directors
D.Vader... SHAFT was created by a white guy. by TheGhostWhoLurks	Jun 7th, 2009 11:04:05 PM
If the film is genuinely funny and not simply an excuse to mock black people and make them look like idiots, most of us don't care what color the writer is. That said, Black creators get MUCH more leeway in how far they can mock other Blacks, because it's self-deprecating humor. Dave Chappelle's show and In Living Color were priceless partly BECAUSE of their ability to mock Black foibles without being labeled "racist." White creators don't have that luxury and tend to hold back. And Slone13, I take it you've seen The Dark Knight? Remember the Black gangster who was eventually killed by the Joker after putting a bounty on his head? THAT was Michael Jai White. The man can ACT.
I figured there were, MrTibbs by D.Vader	Jun 7th, 2009 11:05:47 PM
Did some research on IMDB but there aren't a lot of directors there with bios or pictures, so its hard to tell who's who when it came to the writers and directors. But its a different time now. Not sure if there would be different attitudes. Its a fine line between homage and spoof, and it sounds like Scott Sanders did it right.
I loved In Living Color growing up, GhostWhoLurks by D.Vader	Jun 7th, 2009 11:11:06 PM
Glad to see Tommy Davidson has a role in Black Dynamite. Just the other day I was thinking I'd like to put David Alan Grier in one of my films one day bc I haven't seen him in awhile either. Anyway, I asked because I had an idea for a different sort of "blaxsploitation" film, and my black friends didn't have a problem with the idea. But talkbacker film geeks are a different group entirely. Thanks for sharing. My idea, I hope, is genuinely funny, so I'm glad to hear that as long as its good, its okay. That was the plan.
MegaBeth-LTROI by Toonol	Jun 7th, 2009 11:12:23 PM
"LTROI"... what a crappy acronym. Regarding "Let the right one in", is it ok for a fairly intelligent fourteen year old to watch? He doesn't mind blood, but doesn't like jump scares. I don't know how he feels about necrophiliac undead pedophilia, if there's any of that.
Solid. by CherryValance	Jun 7th, 2009 11:15:32 PM
I really loved the trailer and this review is just convincing me more. I loved 'Undercover Brother' even if that was a definite spoof and terribly goofy it wasn't mean spirited. This sounds like a more serious version of that.
Cool. by otm shank	Jun 7th, 2009 11:28:52 PM
I loved the trailer. Plus my friends buddy is in this flick. So I'm sure we'll be checking it out.
If it wasn't for "Blaxpoitation" by theycallmemrtibbs	Jun 7th, 2009 11:33:25 PM
There would be no Quentin Tarantino. He copied the entire style of filmmaking and made it "hip and cool" for a new generation. Take another look at Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie brown, Kill Bill, Death Proof. For instance, the end credits rolling at the beginning of his films very popular in the 70's. The slick dialogue with a slight awkwardness to the way the actors delivered the lines, most of the actors weren't that great in 'Blaxpoitation" films while others were actual people that directors found during shoots...Drug Addicts, pimps, etc. to fit within the genre. Quentin does the same deal only with A-list or fairly decent actors and they delivered they're lines with the same authenticity of blaxpoitation movies off key, grimey and realistic. Then there are scenes that run a little bit too long, pick any of Quentin's movies for that one. And last but not least, his all time highlight the over excessive use of the N word.

What are you trying to say, you're afraid of black people or something? I think it'll be okay, they're not gonna give a shit if you watch BLACK DYNAMITE with them. Wait-- do you have a racist tattoo on the back of your head? I'm trying to figure out what you're afraid of. Or are you just really interested in demographics?

Natecore by BadMrWonka	Jun 8th, 2009 12:54:51 AM
there's about 45 million black people in the united states, and even the most "black-centric" movies like Tyler Perry's can make up to 50 or 60 million dollars. white people are seeing them too, kiddo. not to mention, this is a high concept parody/send-up, it's for everyone. I saw it at SIFF (the screening right before Vern) and the audience was pretty mixed. as mixed as Seattle gets, to be fair. admittedly, this was a festival showing, but honestly, this is just a hilarious movie, it's not going to appeal solely to black people. funny is funny.
I'm guessing Natecore simply means... by TheGhostWhoLurks	Jun 8th, 2009 12:59:33 AM
That Black Dynamite is likely going to appeal mainly to Black audiences. And he's probably right. When was the last time a film with a 75%+ Black cast got a majority White audience? Especially films set in "the hood"? Whether it's dramas or comedies, White audiences tend to avoid films if it seems like a "Black film." I've tried getting many friends to see some great films with Black casts, but it's like pulling teeth. Many White people are afraid of either being offended or not getting what's going on in the film. It's almost instinctive.
Of course... by TheGhostWhoLurks	Jun 8th, 2009 01:10:51 AM
The string of heavily-publicized shootings in several theatres across the country when "Boyz N The Hood" came out years ago didn't exactly make going to a "Black film" that appealing to Whites, either. Plus, fears of standing out or laughing at things that might be perceived as "inappropriate" by a mostly Black audience, I'm sure, also makes many Caucasians reluctant to see Black films. Whatever...

TheGhostWhoLurks, "Godfather 3" had shootouts— by blakindigo	Jun 8th, 2009 02:38:47 AM
—at some cinema so, I'm more than a little suspicious of media coverage about violence surrounding "Black" movies. It feels like a double standard to me. Somehow, Kasi Lemmons' movies avoid that stigma, probably because her well crafted stories and performances won't make a top news story to bolster slow ratings. Thank God her films have found distribution.
And, I really hope this film succeeds because of the— by blakindigo	Jun 8th, 2009 02:41:30 AM

BLACK DYNAMITE IN AFRICA or BLACK DYNAMITE T.N.T. by Napolean Solo	Jun 8th, 2009 05:12:29 AM
Vern not only was that a brilliant review... but I WANT TO SEE BOTH THOSE SEQUELS NOW! I hope MJW and the director read what you just wrote, because the titles for the sequels are GAWESOME!!! On another note, this: "After all these years taking small parts in Troma movies, in Hong Kong movies, getting a major starring role only to have it become one of the worst comic book movies ever, having a great scene in KILL BILL only to have it cut out... this guy has earned a shot at the next level, but instead of being given it he went out there and made it himself." -actually made me well up.

His statement wasn't racist. Depending on where he lives, and what experiences he has had in the past, his caution may well be justified. I have had black friends opt to drive out to the burbs to see a flick in a non-urban theatre for various reasons. I don't think they were being racist. White people being scared of being surrounded by black people isn't in and of itself racist. It does seed the hatred that leads to racism however. Per Yoda "fear leads to hatred, hatred leads to suffering"...or sumthin like that.

Toonol by maelstrom_ZERO	Jun 8th, 2009 09:33:51 AM
IIRC, Let the Right One In was fairly tame for a movie about a bloodthirsty vampire. Though there are few, genuine Resident Evil-styled "jump out and scare you" moments, there are quite a few instances were it gets a little disturbing--the scenes that come to mind are a man pouring acid over his face, and seeing the result afterwards, watching a limp corpse get dumped into a river, and other such instances. There is no necrophiliac pedophile-based sex (the movie isn't as racy as True Blood), but there is a 1-second shot of someone's nether regions--but honestly, when it happened, I couldn't see much, and I had no idea what I was looking at. I think the movie's more frightening on an intellectual level rather than a visual/visceral level--there is an obligatory amount of blood and corpses, but a lot of the fear comes from not knowing how these characters you care about will get through the obstacles they face. Plus, it's more disturbing than scary. Awesome movie, though. I brought my non-artsy friend to watch it (he likes superhero movies, and stuff like Hitman, Mortal Kombat; questionable taste, really), and even he admitted that it was something he grudgingly enjoyed. The pacing is a bit on the slow side (not as terribly slow as Blade Runner, but close), but it's definitely worth the watch.

word of caution by Vern	Jun 8th, 2009 03:18:47 PM
Harry told me he didn't like it at all, he thought it was just like a bunch of skits. So keep that in mind when you watch it so my love of it doesn't get your hopes up too high. But in my opinion it's possible/likely that Harry is just a huge fan of SPAWN and pissed off that I said this was a better role.
Harry's opinion does not matter by Continentalop	Jun 8th, 2009 03:38:59 PM
He can like what he likes, fine, but as far as him having any semblance of a taste comparable to mine - forget it. Any man who likes Twilight doesn't have the same taste as me.
Harry is ridiculous by D.Vader	Jun 8th, 2009 03:51:56 PM
I don't think anyone takes him seriously, anymore. Which is unfortunate, as he used to be HeadGeek. Now he's more of a joke. The way he runs this site (ScriptGirl for example) doesn't help and only adds fuel to the fire.

A fan of "Spawn"? The comic or the TV show? by blakindigo	Jun 8th, 2009 04:17:28 PM
'Cause that movie was…um, not entertaining.
Vern - just one question bro... Charlotte Stokely..? by workshed	Jun 8th, 2009 07:09:14 PM
Does she get much screentime..? I'm pretty sure that she's Anne Hathaway's NASTY twin (with world-record-beating control of her gag reflex). Really looking forward to BD. Cheers for the reassurance.
workshed by Continentalop	Jun 8th, 2009 07:32:28 PM
She is in only one scene, early in the movie. But it is one of the best gags in the movie and she does show off a little bit of her tits.
So do you recommend it Continentalop? by blakindigo	Jun 8th, 2009 07:59:10 PM
I'm looking for more reviews…
Seagal in the EXPENDIBLES? by Phimseto	Jun 8th, 2009 09:40:27 PM
Hey Vern, what's the story with Seagal turning down a role in Stallone's film? That's crummy news!
Luke Cage by Phimseto	Jun 8th, 2009 09:41:28 PM
I've been advocating White as Luke Cage since Kill Bill! There's no reason Marvel couldn't go low budget and make a cool as hell film.
I can't recommend it one way or another, blakindigo by Continentalop	Jun 8th, 2009 09:48:52 PM
Full disclosure, I worked on it (not in a big capacity, but I did do work on it and I do have a credit). So I am extremely bias about the film and want it to do good. But yeah, I think it is worth seeing. I have seen four different cuts, and each time it gets better and better. If people saw it during Sundance, it is much better now.

I just know what I read on Moviehole. I have no inside info but the story sounds plausible to me. He did a bunch of increasingly crappy movies with those producers and recently got out of the deal with them. Look up their credits and besides RAMBO they've mostly produced crappy DTV movies. But of course I agree, that would've been great if he was in there somewhere.

Brian Azzarello's version of Luke Cage— by blakindigo	Jun 9th, 2009 10:58:36 AM
I wonder if that might be an interesting film, directed by Joe Carnahan? I always enjoyed that take on Luke Cage, almost like a reboot of the character.
I liked Spawn by Series7	Jul 7th, 2009 01:35:03 AM
So what. Wanna fight about it.
