WHERE DID THE BLACK PEOPLE GO???


US VERSION


UK VERSION

A racially-tinged advertising decision has gone awry for the movie "Couples Retreat."

Marketers of the Vince Vaughn comedy, which stars four couples in a tropical paradise, removed black actors Faizon Love and Kali Hawk from the promotional poster used in the United Kingdom after the U.S. version used all four couples. In response to outrage over the move, a Universal spokesman said the altered poster aimed "to simplify the poster to actors who are most [recognizable] in international markets."

While Love and Hawk aren't generally as well known as the film's other six stars, it's still a questionable motive. As noted in a 2007 New York Times article, American films with black stars typically struggle in the overseas market. According to the article, Will Smith, the undisputed king of the American box office, ranks no better than twelfth when it comes to ticket sales internationally. Simply put, said industry watcher James Ulmer, "The international marketplace is still fairly racist."

However, there's good news for those who believe the removal of Love and Hawk from the UK poster was racist: Universal issued a statement regretting any offense it caused, and the studio has scrapped all plans to use the modified poster in other overseas markets.

Pat "So Lucky" Berry



If anyone needed a huge postfight bonus at UFC 104, it was Pat Barry. The heavyweight out of New Orleans, scored Knockout of the Night and Fight of the Night for his victory over Antoni Hardonk. That was good enough for $120,000. Good thing, Barry needed the infusion of cash in the worst way. He confirmed to MMAScrapsRadio that he was completely down on his luck before the fight, agreeing that he had little to eat in Los Angeles the week of the fight.

"I still had my apartment but if something would've happened and the fight had been canceled, I would've been evicted six days later."

Barry, 30, said he didn't even tell his trainer Duke Roufus for fear that he would think the fighter had the wrong motivation going into the fight. Barry said he didn't ask anyone for money including his mother:

"I could ask someone but then at the same time, how hard are you going to work for something if everytime you get in trouble somebody catches you? I did something to put myself in this position I have to work my way out of it.

Barry got his $120,000 bonus check last Tuesday. He couldn't believe it. When he went to deposit the check, his truck wouldn't start. Barry got a jump and hit the bank sporting a black eye and pink striped shorts.

"I go to the bank, I'm sweaty, I've got the black eye, I haven't shaven in two days, I'm strung out because I haven't slept, I have green circles under my eyes so I'm like 'Can I have a deposit slip mam?'. She gives it to me, I fill it out hand it to her. She looks at the deposit slip, then the check, then looks at me and says 'Excuse me I'll be right back.' Then a manager comes out, a guy in a suit and says 'What seems to be the problem?' I was like 'Well I have a black eye, that's the only problem I know this looks really ridiculous.' So he asks me for my ID, I hand him my license an he's like 'Your license says Pat Barry, but this check was written to Patrick Barry.' So I decided to be funny and tell him Pat Barry is in my trunk right now. He didnt laugh. So I told him take your time man do whatever you need to do because I have no where to go and my truck probably wont start when I go outside so you can just do whatever you need to do. An hour later he came back and everything was fine, the check was in my bank account."

HALO 3 ODST



Halo 3: ODST's tale focuses on the legendary ODSTs or "Orbital Drop Shock Troopers" as they drop into the ruined city of New Mombasa, looking for clues behind the Covenant's catastrophic attack on the city. The new campaign chapter predates the events that unfold in "Halo 3" and gives players a new perspective through the eyes of a new hero in the "Halo" universe. New multiplayer maps ensure that the award-winning Xbox LIVE experience of "Halo 3" continues to thrive. In short i prolly wont buy the damn, but the trailer was dope

ONE DAY.

death is inevitible. we never know when it might occur or how. but one thing we all know is, we all will pass one day. and that day can come at anytime, any age, and any place. if someone is sick or older at least you have a time to try and prepare for their death, but when it happens unexpectedly it has to be the worst because there is no time to prepare. either way its not easy when happens is it. i always hear and "when its you time, its your time" i do believe that, but i wish sometimes that some could have lived a lil bit longer to see a lil more. damn. if you love someone let them know it. tell them every chance you can. tell them because you never know what tomorrow may bring. sometimes it brings something tragic and unexpected and you'll never get to tell them in this life again.

God bless you brother! i know we'll see you again.

THANKS




i remember my parents picking me and my brother up from the sitters house, and when we got inside my mother tossed back a bag to the backseat of the 84 monte carlo. as any child is when given a gift, we were fucking excited lol , i mean just excited we were gettin something and it wasnt x mas or our birthdays. and when i saw the picture up above, both me and my brother went crazy. it was the 12 inch vinyl of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album. shit was JAMMIN!! still is. went straight to the crib and listened begining to end. to this day, i got in my phone and listen to it when i ride or fly in the plane. just seeing the pic of that album cover brings back memories. i'm glad to have been around to experience the michael jackson phenomena in the 80's and 90's. there will ever be a star of his magnitude ever again. and regaurdless of what his personal life may have been, no one can deny that this man was a true musical genius. after hearing that he had passed, i didnt think much of it, thinking it was a rumor. but as soon as they interupted the t.v. with breaking news, i knew it was true. i couldn't believe the shit. still can't. but all good things come to an end, eventualy and even the brightest of stars will eventually fade to black. Thank you for the memories, inspiration, and the timeless music that i know will live forever mike. God bless you!!!!

STAR TREK



The summer time is when hollywood brings out the most action packed blockbusters of the whole year, most of the times. There are some movies coming out this summer that i really wanna watch and this was one of them. i never have been a star trek fan, actually i hated when the show would come out on t.v. and never had intrest for any of the movies till this one. part of my favorite part of goin to the movies is the previews and when i saw this one's preview it looked dope so i went. this movie went hard to me. special effects was bannas. story was koo. and i didnt have to watch a single episode ot the show or a previous move to know what was goin on. if you in to action flix check this one out.

The Soloist





Wow, let me start by saying this i like both of these dudes, i think they are very talented actors. but i cant say i enjoyed this one right here. it was pretty slow, and i kept waiting for something to happen to pull me into the movie but it never did. funny thing is the other night a patna of a patna is goin off how this movie was great and this might be jamie foxx's best performance. i'm by no means a movie critic, but theres no way i saw the same movie home boy was talking about! this shit was wack! he's part of the reason i came to see this movie and i couldn't wait for it to be over. im mean i've seen worse. it wasnt so bad i had to walk out like i did in"Alexander the Gay" but i thought it would be way better. i read this movie was actually supposed to be released like a year or two ago. maybe they were trying to make it more dramatic and entertaining. like i said i like both actors, jus didnt cut for the film. im sure its raking in alot of money, and at the end of the day thats what matters isnt it, regaurdless of what people think and say.

Mexico's New Peso



My homie sent me this pic of the new look of the peso

The Wrestler



I didnt get to catch this one in the movies but the other night i found the time to make it a blockbuster night. first time i tried to watch it i fell asleep, not that it was boring i woke up too early that morning and was at it all day. so by 3am i was a wrap. luckily i rented it for 5 days, instead of 1, anyways the story is of a wrestler that was at the top of the todem pole in the 80's and climbed back down it within the next 20 yrs. it kinda of showed the realness of the sport i mean in a sense. i dont know if too much of what homeboy did in this movie still goes on in wrestling today, (sorry havent watched wrestling since hulk hogan went against andre the giant) but good movie though. i had heard somewhere that the movie was a low budget film, filmed on a budget of around $150,000. that wasnt true at all, my dude that is a director out in hollywood told me they actually paid mikey rouke (the main star of film) $5 million to star in it, so that right there puts them way out of budget. i guess everyone always wants to say they made something out of nothing. good flick though yall should check it out!!

True or False...What you think?



You cant belive everything you read or see, not only on the net or any kind of publication at that,but some of this shit seems to make sense. i have a son, and the thought of how the future can be for him is scary. i mean look at how its getting right now for us. so jus imagine how it'll be 40 or 50 years from now. i dont consider myself a conspiracy theroist, but i do somethimes read crazy shit for entertainment purposes, but its a trip how a lot of this does make sense. i guess all i can do is inform people around me wether its true or false. God Bless us!!!

Damn Pigs!!!






An outbreak of swine flu in humans has health experts and officials around the world on high alert and there is great concern, as more countries report new cases of the disease, that the world may be on the brink of a pandemic. I dont know but when they start using the word pandemic, that donsen't sound too good. It sounds like a scene out of a movie. Damn pigs, and the crazy thing about this swine flu is there is no cure or vaccine for it. I've read it could take months for it to be made. The U.S. has declared a public health emergency because of this outbreak. Stay away from the ribs and bacon yall!!! Na all bull shit aside its being spread from human to human. So be careful. And dont trip if ya see me and i dont shake your hand or if you see me on stage performing with a little mask on. I'm jus not trying to get the swine flu yall.
God Bless!!!

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE


Slumdog Millie, I figured, this movie is not winning so many awards for nothing so i might as well check it out. That and everybody and their mother was tellin me it was a must see. It turned out to be really good flick, fa real. For those of you who still haven't seen or heard of this film and are wondering what its about. I'd say its a story of fate or destiny, even God's plan (by the way the name of my new album I'm working on). It was pretty dope. A good ass story of how you can't stop the inevitable from happening. I belive in life we go through certain things for a reason, you might not find out what that reason may be for a while, but eventually you will. Peep it out if you haven't already.

Designer Babies


The Fertility Institutes recently stunned the fertility community by being the first company to boldly offer couples the opportunity to screen their embryos not only for diseases and gender, but also for completely benign characteristics such as eye color, hair color, and complexion. The Fertility Institutes proudly claims this is just the tip of the iceberg, and plans to offer almost any conceivable customization as science makes them available. Even as couples from across the globe are flocking in droves to pay the company their life's savings for a custom baby, opponents are vilifying the company for shattering moral and ethical boundaries. Like it or not, the era of designer babies is officially here and there is no going back."
On a persoal note, this is pretty scary. Some people are trying to play GOD!

WATCHMEN


LET ME START WITH SAYING THAT I NEVER HEARD THIS COMIC BOOK BEFORE. SO ITS NOT LIKE I WAS A FAN TO BEGIN WITH IN THE FIRST PLACE. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW I'M A HUGE MOVIE BUFF, WELL WHEN I HAVE THE TIME, SO I FIGURED THIS WAS A MUST SEE. ANYWAYS, I WAS SOLD WITH ALL THE HYPE BEHIND THIS ONE. SO MUCH THAT I WENT TO A MIDNIGHT SHOWING OF IT. THIS HAS TO BE ALMOST ONE OF THE WORST MOVIES I'VE EVER SEEN. I KNEW WHAT WAS GOIN ON BUT IT WAS LIKE I WAS LOST THROUGH THE WHOLE FILM. I DONT KNOW IF THAT MAKES SENSE. SPECIAL EFFECTS WAS KOO, BUT THATS ABOUT IT. I SAW IT FROM BEGINING TO END AND CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU WHAT IT WAS REALLY ABOUT. SHIT WAS LAME . THIS IS JUST MY OPINION SO PLEASE DIE HARD FANS DONT GET OFFENED. I SHOULD'VE WAITED ON THE BOOTLEG, THEN I WOULD'VE SAVED SOME BREAD AND BEEN ABLE TO THROW IT IN THE TRASH!

McDonald's Meltdown



FORT PIERCE, Fla. - Authorities say a Florida woman called 911 three times after McDonald's employees told her they were out of Chicken McNuggets.

A police report says 27-year-old Fort Pierce resident Latreasa L. Goodman told authorities she paid for a 10-piece last week but was later informed the restaurant had run out.

She says she was refused a refund and told all sales were final. A cashier told police she offered Goodman a larger portion of different food for the same price, but Goodman became irate.

911 charge. A current phone listing for Goodman couldn't be found.

A McDonald's spokesman says Goodman should have been given a refund, and she's being sent a gift card for a free meal.

Do you love Obama's speeches? I'm sure Obama loves Jon Favreau


When Barack Obama steps up to the podium to deliver his inaugural address, one man standing anonymously in the crowd will be paying especially close attention. With his cropped hair, five o’clock shadow and boyish face, he might look out of place among the dignitaries, though as co-author of the speech this man has more claim than most to be a witness to this moment of history.
Jon Favreau, 27, is, as Obama himself puts it, the president’s mind reader. He is the youngest chief speechwriter on record in the White House, and, despite such youth, was at the centre of discussions of the content of today’s speech, one which has so much riding on it.
For a politician whose rise to prominence was largely built upon his powers as an orator, Obama is well versed in the arts of speech-making. But today’s effort will tower over all previous ones.
It is not just that Obama has set an extremely high bar by invoking the inaugural speeches of Abraham Lincoln as his inspiration - admitting to feeling “intimidated” when he read them. It is also that, as he begins his term with the US in an economic crisis and two wars, he knows he needs to kick start his presidency with a soaring rhetoric that both moves and motivates the American people.
The tone of the speech could be decisive in determining how the public responds to his first 100 days, as Franklin Roosevelt’s famous line “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself” helped to determine his.
Obama aides have let it be known that a key theme will be restoring responsibility - both in terms of accountability in Washington and the responsibility of ordinary people to get involved. Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s chief of staff, talks of a “culture of responsibility” that would “not just be asked of the American people; its leaders must also lead by example.”
In composing the high notes of the speech, Obama has leant on Favreau, whom he discovered almost by chance four years ago when the younger man was working on John Kerry’s failed presidential bid. “Favs” has since studied Obama’s speech patterns and cadences with the intensity of a stalker. He memorised the 2004 speech to the Democratic national convention which first brought Obama into the limelight. He is said to carry Obama’s autobiography, Dreams From My Father, wherever he goes. As a result, last November when Favreau sat down to write the first draft of the inaugural address, he could conjure up his master’s voice as if an accomplished impersonator.
That skill had been put to almost daily use in the 18 months of brutal campaigning on the presidential trail. Favreau would be up most nights until 3am, honing the next day’s stump speeches in a caffeine haze of espressos and Red Bull energy drinks, taking breaks to play the video game Rock Band. He coined a phrase for this late-night deadline surfing: “crashing”.
He crashed his way through all Obama’s most memorable speeches. He wrote the draft of one that helped to turn Iowa for Obama while closeted in a coffee shop in Des Moines. For the presidential election, he wrote two speeches: one for a victory, one for defeat. When the result came through, he emailed his best friend: “Dude, we won. Oh my God.”
The tension between such youthful outbursts and his onerous role has sometimes cost the 27-year-old. In December, pictures of him and a friend mocking a cardboard cut-out of Hillary Clinton at a party, Favreau’s hand on her breast, were posted on Facebook to his huge embarrassment.
Obama is an accomplished writer in his own right, and the process of drafting with his mind reader is collaborative. The inaugural speech has shuttled between them four or five times, following an initial hour-long meeting in which the president-elect spoke about his vision for the address, and Favreau took notes on his computer.
Favreau then went away and spent weeks on research. His team interviewed historians and speech writers, studied periods of crisis, and listened to past inaugural orations. When ready, he took up residence in Starbucks in Washington and wrote the first draft. The end result will be uttered on the steps of the Capitol.
Obama’s mind reader has crashed his way through yet another deadline.

History in The Making

I wanted a second to chime in, and let my voice be heard, for those of you that read this blog everyday or might not, my name is Solo,

As a contributor to this blog ,and this place of U.S.A , today is a good day, as I watch cnn with video of our 44th president and chants thru the screen of change is here, I reflect that its not just a good day as a black male for me in the world, but as an american living in this world.

What happen today, what's going on as I type this message, as I began to form the words to describe what's really going on a text message pops up on the sidekick from jay " History in the Making". No need for me to say more,

As a kid growing up, I wanted to be a cop, a teacher, a basketball player, a band major, a rapper, a lawyer, but never once did President pop into my mind. It might be too late for me, but for the children of this world the glass has been broken, not through kicking and screaming but by living right and doing good for urself and the next man.

Today might not be the end of everything bad in the world, but when today is the day when a little boy or girl now wants to be the best they can be, its the start of a lot of good.

"....For the world has changed and we must change with it" - Barack Obama 1/20/09
