I think I want....a pair.

Really, what are they selling?

The Dark Knight

It took me long enough, but I finally saw it at the IMAX theatre in Lincoln Centre at 12:30am last Saturday night. Was it the best movie I've ever seen? NO! But I had a good time. There just a few moments where things were blurry. Surprisingly I thought some of the chase scenes were confusing! And what was up with Christian Bale's voice when he was Batman?? It felt unauthentic. I was disappointed that Heath Leger was gone.

Best part of the movie was The Joker and the bad guys. Whenever they were on the story took off. I felt Batman was just reactionary. It was more about Two Face than Batman.

The next Batman movie is rumored to be about The Riddler! Come on haven't we done that! I would rather see Catwoman, but I doubt any of them will live up to Michelle Pfeiffer.

How YOU Doin

"Like a Wendy interview..."

That's from Mariah Carey's song "Touch my body". People from New York City know about the infamous Wendy Williams. I used to listen to hear her show way back in the day, but now I have the pleasure of watching the Wendy Williams Show and her very colorful New York studio audience Monday to Friday. She's bold in your face and says whatever is on her mind.

Love ya Wendy....

How YOU Doin!

I don't venture near there too often, but when I did Monday evening I had to snap this picture.

Black in America

CNN has produced a special about being Black in America. I watched two parts of the three part series, The Black Man and Black Woman. Basically, it's entertainment. You have the mother with five children that works two jobs just to make ends meat and you have the assistant. superintendent husband and judge wife that live in large expensive home in the suburbs.

That's not news and that's not what Black America is about. If they really wanted to show what Black America is about they would show the breakdown of family on all income levels (it doesn't just exist in low income homes). What about interviewing other cultures from around the world how they view Black people? Even better, discuss the media's role (CNN included) in Black America's portrayal in the news. What about how slavery impacts Black America today? Why isn't slavery discussed and always used as a "cop out or excuse". Also, why has no one talked about why Barack Obama has been so readily accepted with White America? What makes him different (that's another post).

Granted I haven't watched all the parts of the series, but from what I've seen it's nothing groundbreaking. It's another recycled and boring attempt for a news organization that contributes to the negative stereotypes of Black America to get some publicity.

America's Favorite Dancer

Okay I'm going to call it. He's my favorite and should win! None of the other dancers dance with as much heart as he does. He's down to earth, funny and one of the strongest dancers (strength wise) that's ever been on the show!

Go Joshua!!
