Members marceline Posted April 9, 2013 Members Share Posted April 9, 2013 You need to look really hard. It's fun to play "Fly in the Buttermilk" with Elvis movies. Be especially watchful for bartenders, valets and - my particular favorite - maniacally grinning backup musicians pretending to be wildly impressed by the skinny white guy draining every last bit of soul from music they've been playing for years on the chitlin circuit. Smile brother. I SAID SMILE!! Really, watch the musicians in an Elvis movie especially the later ones. It's like watching a human spirit die right in front of you.

Members Khan Posted April 13, 2013 Members Share Posted April 13, 2013 Speaking of "Why Did I Get Married Too?,"* what the hell is up with Janet Jackson's Jheri curl in that movie? Was that her tribute to brother Michael or something? (*okay, not really.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kalbir Posted April 16, 2013 Members Share Posted April 16, 2013 For sure, "brown skinned bald dude from Law and Order" and "dude who looks like Shemar Moore" pretty much describe the villains and heroes of Tyler Perry films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alphanguy74 Posted May 5, 2013 Members Share Posted May 5, 2013 I'm not a huge fan of Elvi, but he DID do very well on Gospel material, and his 1968 special features plenty of black folks. Anything with the Blossoms in it worth watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7zSN4-c16c The movies ARE pretty laughable in alot of ways, but then everyone makes fun of those. I guess they are what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
