    A majority black-cast remake of the 1991 film "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" was released to today. I haven't bothered to watch the trailers yet becuz I been meaning to watch the '91 original film first. But comparing the Wikipedia cast info for both the '91 OG & '24 remake, the characters that Nicole Richie & Jermaine Fowler play in the remake were a couple in the OG film. So that's something to lookout for.




    Here are the trailers for the new remake:

    I thought she was black/biracial for years, but I found out in recent years that she actually was adopted & Lionel isn't her biological Father.

    That's true, but both of her biological parents were part Black.

    Late to the party, but I finally got around to watching this film: I would not recommend viewing it at all, especially not for BM/WF content.

    The WF in this couple (named Miriam) cheats on the BM (named Caleb) with her sister’s White American husband (named Dylan, the rest of the main cast are Brits, including the BM/WF couple). From the very beginning it is established that the Caleb/Miriam couple are in a rough patch and the sister even comments that they seem distant from one another. It is later established that they have not had sex for a year or so and she doesn’t really feel attracted to him anymore (except when she is drunk). She also has way more screen time with the white dude, certainly more than her actual man. The movie focuses more on them, and their scenes have more emotional depth and can get rather physically explicit. Later during an increasingly explicit scene, she ties Dylan up and then abruptly attacks and eventually kills him, and the plot begins to cast their infidelitous interactions in a negative light, but everything I have previously wrote is not invalidated or anything. There is a scene in which while she is drunk, she tries to have sex with Caleb (remember the above statement), but he does not want her in such a state and turns her down, which worsens their relationship. Virtually all of their interactions are negative and dysfunctional.

    Caleb (the black male character) does not have much screen time in general, he almost feels like an afterthought.

    I should note that parts of this movie are chronologically out of order story-wise, and that has an effect on my summary.

    Beyond that ton of B.S., the movie is mostly something of a slow and pretentious waste of time that I truly regret watching.

    She is the biological niece of Sheila E. I was under the belief for years and Y-E-A-R-S that she was a Motown mystery groupie baby from Rick James and the Stone City Pilots featuring Prince tour and the Commodores . . . whose mother has passed and Lionel Ritchie stepped up to adopt because, unlike Rick James, he had truly cared for her drug addicted mother. That was rumor and misinformation though lol.

    I just watched the 2001 teen comedy film "Get Over It":




    Sisqó & Mila Kunis's characters are love interests in this film.



    I watched the 2000 film "Finding Forrester" last week. I had no idea Anna Paquin played the main love interest of Rob Brown's lead character in a major theatrical release film until I stumbled onto these posts recently. Considering the time period the film came out, reading those posts you've assumed that it happened in a indie or TV film.

    I have found several new movies with interracial content for rental on @PrimeVideo. I mean to post the trailers tonight or tomorrow. Some of these White women are just too cute . . . especially the one in the movie with the big ass title ;) lol.

    I saw that flick in the theater and was disappointed of the lack of the expression of love between the couple. I wished a book is written of love between a projects scholarship brother and a rich prep white female student.

    Sadly such paltry interracial content was typical of early 2000 movies :(. I have seen it time and time again and still do on Tubi or Prime movies from this era. They basically gave us dust back then . . . you can see it time and time again :(

    Get Over It is a 2001 American teen comedy film loosely based on William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream
    -Wikipedia

    Blame Shakespeare I guess, just kidding

    This was a thing in Hollywood for a while take an old book or play turn it into a teen movie.

    Clueless= Emma
    Ten things I hate about you = taming of the shrew

    She's all that= Pygmalion

    Whatever it takes = cyrano
