Can't write movies, can't make movies (why I am seeing so many boom mics bruh?), getting lace fronts for the light brights Tyler Perry has three commas in his bank account. Tyler Perry is a part of the McDonaldization of entertainment - products are churned out for efficiency, high product consumption and profit with a revolving audience that keeps

He’s done a lot in the industry and him owning his own studio is game changing, but he has a lot of issues with Black women. He’s built his career off of stereotypes and Black women’s pain. And it goes unaddressed in large circles. Not to mention the fact that his work has not improved, he doesn’t trust anyone else to write for his projects.

his work has not improved at all! and it looks and sounds low budget, from the movies to the tv shows. the profits that should be going into improving his production values is instead going into his pockets and the audience is going to continue to be served day old oatmeal. it's sad.

ALSO black content by black creators is consistently profitable but hollywood will convince you every black success is a fluke or lightning in a bottle. no, black audiences are fiercely loyal and want to see themselves onscreen, which is why tripe like what tyler shovels out does well.

He can keep writing whatever it is he writes but does it have to look so cheap?

Did y’all see that headline that was like Jeff Bezos could give away over $100,000 to ever Amazon employee and still have as much money as he did at the start of the pandemic?

That is straight up evil

[fauxkaren]

[choukoumei]

I don't understand how he can live with himself having all that money and doing practically nothing to help even his own employees.

What are you even gonna do with this much money
Like there aren’t enough lifetimes to spend it you’re just hoarding wealth

That's pretty impressive given from his upbringing to now and also that he's been in the industry a lot less than other filmmakers.

I know he shoots out a lotta tv programing in addition to his movies. But he must've making a hell of lotta deals or something over the years :O!

I would love to see the machinations behind it.

Taraji said in an interview that they filmed Acrimony in only 8 days in Atlanta.

[genbu_no_miko24]

:O!! But I'm not surprised!

Tyler linking up with Oprah must've been a factor in all this. The man has been BUSY working non-stop and all the stuff he puts out.

Nobody makes that much money without exploitation and exploitation is not good just because the person doing it is black.

Thank you for sharing the second link, I've never seen her content before and I'm into it.
