I am really struggling these days to have some pride in the state of NC. I know we all are not small minded bigots but it is fools like this that give the entire region a bad name.
We first had to deal with Rev. Sean Harris who suggested parents beat their kids into traditional gender roles, another “man of God” then Pastor Charles L. Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church’s took it to another level by saying he thinks all gays and lesbians should be placed behind electric fences and left to die.
First of all the isolation theory has been tested and failed it's called the Castro District...lol.
Gay folks are known for turning transition areas into prime real estate due to their fierceness so he would only succeed in attracting other people to his so called camps.
News flash it is straight couples who produce gay children.
I think he is taking the gospel lyric "Jesus build a fence all around me everyday" in the wrong direction...lol
And if anyone should be isolated and not allowed to reproduce it is these characters.
Will Smith did not appreciate the public display of affection and pushed the man back and also gave him an old fashioned back hand pimp slap for good measure.
This is not the first time Smith has shied away from male intimacy. He asked for a stand in when he first started acting in the film "Six Degrees of Sepration" and he was suppose to have a six second on screen kiss with another man.
If you are an actor then act like you like it...lol.
In fact, we're told she was focused on trying to finish up an album she had been working on."
This has been a very difficult few years in that we have lost so many songbirds and Divas.
Donna Summer was a 5 time Grammy Award winning singer with classic hits like "Let's Dance" "Bad Girls"and my personal kareoke favorite "MacArthur Park"!
Donna Summer was more than the Queen of the Disco era. Donna Summer was not just a singer but a true Diva of song that has contributed to the rich soundtrack of our lives. She will be missed but she will live on through her music. RIP Diva!
I have not been this excited about a film since the X-Men series! I got up early Sunday morning and caught the first show at 10:00 AM. I missed a few of the previews which really pisses me off due to a very slow concession clerk.
Armed with my popcorn, soda and smuggled milk duds I took my place in a strategic spot for maximum viewing pleasure. The crowd was decent but not overcrowded.
"The Avengers" film brings the team together including Hulk, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain America and my personal favorite Thor.
Loki has teamed with an alien race and seeks to bring a war to Earth. The Avengers all join forces to defeat Loki, the master of lies and sorceror supreme. While we are on the subject if he is suppose to be a supreme sorceror can we see some other tricks other than his duplicating himself or holograms? I am just saying.
This film does not disappoint. The action in the film is as one of my students Sakatos would exclaim, epoch...lol. Samuel Jackson is perfect as the surly Nick Fury of Shield.
The Black Widow kicks butt in this film, what she lacks in super powers she more than makes up for in inhuman fierce fighting skills. Iron Man is his old wise cracking maverick self with some updated armor. Captain America seems to be more comfortable in his skin and has some very cool moments. My favorite is Thor who gets to really cut loose and unleash his god like wrath in some very electrifying scenes. Disappointingly Thor has his shirt on for the entire film...lol
The film balances crazy action scenes, emotionally tearful moments and hilarious comic releif.
My best moments are with the Hulk. Hulk has evolved as a character as he is now able to Hulk up at will and still maintain his Banner personna. The funniest moment in the film is when Loki is going off on a rant about his god like status to the Hulk and the Hulk just body slams him over and over the howling laughter of the audience.
I did enter this film with attitude that my other original Avengers' characters were not present like Ant Man, Wasp, Vision and my girl The Scarlett Witch. Hopefully we will see some of them in the inevitable sequels to come.
Sit back relax, enjoy the action and watch Hulk Smash in" The Avengers!"
I am not a big fan of remakes, especially the classics. Do you remember the film Guess Who starring the late comedian, Bernie Mac? The film was based on the 1967 classic film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner with Syney Portier, Spencer Tracy, Beah Richards and Katharine Hephburn.
I was and still am a big fan of the late Bernie Mac but some film are classics and should be off limits for remakes.
Poitier seems to be the consistent factor in both of these remakes. Sidney Poitier made the 1974 classic comedy film Uptown Saturday Night famous along with Bill Cosby and Harry Belafonte.
I guess what they say is true there are no original ideas or maybe Hollywood is getting desperate and lazy. The vote is stil out on this one.
I often said he was one of the first mainstream vampires....smile.
Clark also had a major contribution to American music through the show American Bandstand. His show influenced popular culture in so many ways.
Dick Clark later went on to become a successful radio personality. He also becaume the spokesperson for New Year's Eve celebrations with his Dick Clark Rocking New Years Eve.
I know many years we brought the new year end with his smile and good nature.
Recently Ryan "How you doing" Seacrest stepped up to carry on the New Years Eve tradition but it was not the same...lol.
He was an iconic figure and definitely part of the fabric of American popular culture.
