Great, great movie, a personal favorite.


I've been a big Wayans brothers fan ever since the release of their 1996 movie, "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood". Before that I really didn't understand any of their work. It was too artsy, too intellectual. It was on "Don't Be a Menace..." where Marlon Wayans' presence became more apparent.

"Fifty Shades of Black" an epic meditation on intangibility, at the same time it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding movies. Look to the brilliant ensemble playing of Wayans, Hawk and Zigrino. You can practically feel every nuance of every human emotion. In terms of comical craftsmanship and sheer beauty
of Hawk's boobs, this move hits a new peak of professionalism.

The whole movie has a clear, crisp look and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that gives the script a big boost.
He's been compared to Chris Rock, but I think Marlon has a more bitter, cynical sense of humor. Take the "Wesley Snipes tax" gag. In this segment, Marlon Wayans addresses the problem of abusive political authority.

I think that this movie is Wayans' undisputed masterpiece. The script is so witty, that most people probably don't think about deep underlying themes, but they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the author himself.

Most importantly, Hannah's fiery monologue at the end of the movie encourages us to oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights, while also promoting equal rights for women. Also, the masterfully crafted politically correct script reminds us that we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people.

Well, we just found something ELSE that you don't get. Reread his post, dummy...

You must be 12 years old,

Well, then you're probably about to ask him out considering that you said you're going to go the Michael Jackson route...

What's going on? What's all this shouting? We'll have no trouble here...

Get a goddamn sense of humor, darkPrecious. You've got a negative attitude. That's what's stopping you. You've got to get your act together. I'll help you.

I tried to point out the joke of your post to him, but he doesn't get things like humor, or basic concepts, or words.

So, you're commenting on a post that you didn't read? Were you bored of the old ways of making yourself look stupid, so you found a new one?

@ WeDidntBurnHim: I agree that they've omitted the notion of sarcasm in young people these days.

@ darkPrecious: There's a concept of "so bad it's actually good". You should look into it.

I have just as much proof that you ARE 50 as you do that you're NOT 50. You told everybody your age (it was sent to me via PM by THREE different people). So, if you don't prove it, then it's true.

Read the original post and you may appreciate it, dummy. Or, more realistically, have someone read it to you and help you understand what most of the words mean.

You want to foot me? That's really, really weird. But, you do have 30 years of life experience over me, so I suppose that would be okay. Are you sure you're ready to lose your virginity at only half-a-century old?

@ WeDidntBurnHim: Not quite 50-year old man, is he? Mentally more like dirty 15-year old boy. Biological age has nothing to do with wits.

@ darkPrecious: You know, darkPrecious, you should take some lithium, or have a Diet Coke. Some caffeine might get you out of this slump.

Oh, I agree that he's not mentally 50-years-old. I was just pointing out that the fact that he doesn't understand sarcasm has naught to do with the year he was born, but rather the fact that he's just plain dumb. No, let me correct myself - he's not PLAIN dumb. He's a special kind of dumb that is actually quite impressive.

I am fairly sure that WeDidntBurnHim and darkPrecious are having an affair. WeDidntBurnHim is the only interesting poster I know. DarkPrecious is almost perfect at trolling. He's usually operating on one or more psychiatric drugs. Tonight I believe it's Xanax.

Well, it worked. Do you think we should tell him that I'm just another one of your personalities, or wait for you to screw up and have him discover it for himself? You've said too much already - shut up.

What word are you trying to make it in? Don't go with 'moot' because you don't understand that one. Although, I suppose that would go for pretty much any word in the English language.

Also, you're not black or a girl, and you're certainly not 'making it.' Unless 'making it' is defined as being a 50-year-old man who only has a job because his daddy gave him one.

Ouchy mama, I know...

What can you tell me about darkPrecious? Uh, besides the information you've already given.

Don't tell me he wants to work with Children.

I'm at a loss. He was a part of this whole Berkley thing.
