Ah Time works its Magic....chatchienAugust 14 2015, 16:07:21 UTC
I might have to see Straight Outta Compton. I don't keep up with the Rap except for the Obvious: Snoop Dog AKA Mighty LION or J Piddy aka Mighty Mogul or Jay Zzzz aka Husband of Béyoncé and Now Knows Don't Mess With Solange.
So amusing to see Ice Cube change from Young Angry Black Man in NWA to Father Knows Best of All so Why Aren't You Listening to Him? in his very successful Hollywood movies. Yay for kayaking! Just stay away from those Gold Mine draining waters in the South West! His son is cute.
I did see this review of the movie about The White Savior in Films. What's your take on it? You really know a great deal about NWA and their history. I can't help but think that the review itself is injecting more White Savior in the film than it has in it. But I haven't seen it yet, so I could be projecting myself.
I do like that Calvani Hairy chest. I would like to run my fingers through that and tweak those nipples. Sorry! I was carried away by a riptide in the Dothraki Sea of Manly Hair.
I will say that Cavill's suits are finally tailored to his body in Man from UNCLE. Usually his suits don't fit him well because of all that Gina Carano inspired body sculpting. He just needs to walk around bare chested all the time. No clothes needed for him. Show me the muscles, baby!
The Guardian has an interview with Cavill about Superman and his feelings about playing him. I did not know that Cavill was a former fat kid in school who was bullied for it. And how Cavill feels the necessity to keep the body in Superman trim.
He ought to talk to Affleck about Batman and his body issues. Affleck has gone bonkers (or the Old Normal for him) with the Batman body---he has breasts! And then there's all that other betrayal and romance stuff that he is stuffing himself and Batman's chest piece with. Without Matt Damon, it is all self destruction. He should join the Suicide Squad.

Honestly, anyone who comes after them are flashes in the pan. I know the names of the latest rappers but I couldn’t pick them out of a lineup. Except for Drake because he has eyebrows like Bert from “Sesame Street”.
His son is cute. WAY cute. Wow. That’s a nice looking guy.
I did see this review of the movie about The White Savior in Films. What's your take on it? You really know a great deal about NWA and their history.

You’re right, that writer absolutely is injecting more than it is. I’m reading it thinking, “What movie were you watching?”
From the article: When the group is harassed by the LAPD outside of their recording studio, it’s Jerry who steps in and saves the day.
That. Never. Happened.
Of course everything is open to interpretation but I don’t know why he would take a scene where Heller is aghast by the treatment these guys received by the police and attempted to stop the police as White Savior-dom. That’s a very human thing to want to intercede when someone is being maligned/abused.
From the article: especially since we had previously seen-in several scenes-innocent black men violently harassed by police with no one there to protect them.
He must’ve been in the bathroom for the scene where Cube is being roughed up by the police in his neighborhood and Cube’s parents stood up to the cops much the same way Heller did, with Cube’s father yelling out to him “We’re right here,son. We’re not going anywhere” after the cops told them to go inside their house.
From the article: He had already been established as a white savior for helping to list the black protagonists out of poverty
He helped get them in front of a record label exec (and prior to meeting Jerry their song was already in heavy rotation in L.A) but their talent and the crowds they brought in garnered the deal. Selling a lot of records and selling out tours lifted them out of poverty. The only thing Jerry did was invite the exec and cash checks. And as offensive a concept of White Savior is, it’s also offensive when someone patently ignores an individual’s hard work and ambition and instead chalk it up to being lifted out of the mire. Those guys worked hard for their success, especially Cube who walked away because he knew his worth. And it doesn’t fit his narrative in his article, Suge Knight was portrayed in the same light as Heller. He was portrayed as a savvy businessman who wanted other artists to know their worth, but still someone who only truly cared about his own interests.
From the article: As a viewer, it’s hard not to feel anything but gratitude for Jerry’s actions
Not me. If anything I felt was validation because it felt good for him to witness how cops abused their powers because it was something he never encountered. To see that horror reflected on someone’s face shows that it’s not just cops doing their jobs, they were abusing their power. And if Jerry ever did really intercede on their behalf in real life (because while the writers did use some anecdotes from Heller’s book, he wasn’t a consultant on the film) it was to protect his pocketbook. It would’ve done him no good if his clients were locked up/dead. So not some much White Savior-dom as so much as Save My Money-dom.

From the article: They seem to recognize Jerry as a paternalistic figure, and years of harassment by the white establishment has created an instinct of mistrust in white authority figures.,/i>
I need him to stop. This dude obviously never bothered to read articles with the remaining groups to find out what their thoughts on Heller were. He should go and read the recent Grantland article with Heller that has quotes from Cube and Dre and revise his take on the film. If I go point by point at how wrong he is this post would be 20 pages long.
I do like that Calvani Hairy chest. I would like to run my fingers through that and tweak those nipples. Sorry! I was carried away by a riptide in the Dothraki Sea of Manly Hair.
And it’s greying chest hair at that! He doesn’t care he’s all man, aging beautifully and everything. I’m going to crop that picture of him and a shirtless Mark Strong and take out all those other non-Luca/Mark people.
I will say that Cavill's suits are finally tailored to his body in Man from UNCLE. Usually his suits don't fit him well because of all that Gina Carano inspired body sculpting.
He needs a tailor because his suits always look boxy. Now he’s really slender and I hope he uses this body frame to work on getting better fitted suits. I think he’s always going to have bad taste in clothes (Windsor knots? Too big suit jackets)
He just needs to walk around bare chested all the time. No clothes needed for him. Show me the muscles, baby!
Oh, I don’t know. I’m the shy sort. I don’t think it’s proper to show off my….
BAM!
The Guardian has an interview with Cavill about Superman and his feelings about playing him. I did not know that Cavill was a former fat kid in school who was bullied for it. And how Cavill feels the necessity to keep the body in Superman trim.
I wish there was a way he could retain a girly arse while still being trim. I like a nice badonk on a guy.
I wonder if that’s why he dropped the muscle. Or maybe he only stayed muscle bound for Batman V. Superman because he’s much smaller than he’s been for a few years. And he dropped the muscle quickly because at ShowCon a few months ago he was still broad.
He ought to talk to Affleck about Batman and his body issues. Affleck has gone bonkers (or the Old Normal for him) with the Batman body---he has breasts!
When his oldest little girl gets there in a few more years he can give her his training bra.
And then there's all that other betrayal and romance stuff that he is stuffing himself and Batman's chest piece with. Without Matt Damon, it is all self destruction. He should join the Suicide Squad.
Affleck is his own enemy. He just can't keep his nose clean. He said in the past that he's always at Matt's house (they live a few doors or maybe two blocks) from each other and he thinks Matt's wife didn't think he'd be around so much. He's still trying to act like he's single and I don't know what he's chasing after. Maybe he thought getting married and having kids would settle his spirit but maybe he just likes being wild. I knew he had that side when I saw his wretched, arm tattoos.
