Movies with BM/WW Couples

Is it just me, or is Cameron Diaz starting to look a little like Kristin Scott Thomas in this poster?

This looks good.

 

I keep hearing good things about this film. Tempted to check it out because of the lack of IR Period Pieces out there.

 

trigger finger discipline Jamie, wtf lol

 

She's washed now. She was always overrated but why can't they cast an attractive young white woman as his co lead?

 

Anymore IR holiday romcom films that have dropped this Holiday season?

 

Christmas on Call


Jingle All the Way to Love

 

To me it looks awful. Or at least highly unoriginal. I have seen enough of these films about couples with secret pasts with American Intelligence that even their own children don't know about. There have been previous versions with black men/white women pairings.

 

Well, he's washed too. I need a better example of a black leading man than fucking Jamie Foxx.

 

I saw it in the theaters a month back because I didn't have Apple and wasn't planning on getting Apple. I do not think it is a top tier Steve McQueen film but I found it to be a very good movie nonetheless. The production values are of the charts. The acting is splendid. There are some extraordinary set pieces.

But since this is an IR thread I will say that the movie, in my opinion, more than meets many of the requirements you guys tend to have. Saoirse Ronan's character is a white woman in England with a black child. The father of this child is seen in only a couple of scenes (flashback) but those moments cement the passion and love she had with this man, a black soldier from another country (possibly a former colony of the UK). The father is played by C.J. Beckford, an attractive and ideal-looking man, and he gets moments of dancing sexy with Saoirse and kissing her.

The child they produce is thankfully a boy. I say thankfully because Blitz does something that I can't recall ever seeing in a movie: a strong, loving relationship between a white mother and a black/biracial son that is the focus or heart of the film. Think about it . Typically if there is a child from an onscreen couple in which one of them is black and the other is white, that child is almost always a girl. If, in rare instances, that child ends up being a boy then its a 95% certainty that the parents will be a white dad and a black mom. Point is the entertainment industry is allergic to showing love and affection between a white female and a black male, no matter what form it comes in. This just doesn't include the obvious pairings of black men/white women as lovers, it in particular means a scenario of a white mother and her black son. That is a double whammy because it means the white female character had sex with a black man and gave birth to a black son as a result. Such a "family unit" totally excludes white males and it excludes black females too. Saoirse's character spends a majority of this film worrying over her son (played by Elliott Heffernan) and doing whatever she can to find him. As trivial as this may sound I have to point out that having a white female worry over the fate of a black male is not a common thing at all. There may be a few other films/TV series in which gave us a white mom with a biological son who is black, but none of them went as deep as Blitz in stablishing an emotional connection. None that I can recall at least.

Also, lets extend this topic to commercials. In the ads we see on TV we get a bunch with white guys and black ladies, but many with white women and black men as couples too. But if they have children, or more specifically if they are seen with just one child, its almost always a girl. And if the commercial ONLY shows us the white mother with a mixed child, the child is going to be a daughter. This is not by accident.

 

In terms of functionality, Xumo Play has got to be the worst of the major free streaming apps. Major issues I've experienced:

1. No Search Function. If you want to watch a specific film/TV show available on the Xumo Play app that isn't featured on the front UI, you could be browsing the app forever becuz of the lack of a search function.

2. No option to Rewind/Fastforward on-demand content. Instead, you can only go back or skip to the next scene/chapter like on DVD/Blu-ray.

3. Out of sync subtitles.


The functionality is so bad, if Xumo Play is the only free streaming app that has a specific film I want to watch, I'd rather just download a pirated copy of the film than use Xumo Play.

 

Would it help to use a jailbroken Amazon fire stick to access the movie?!? I still need to stop procrastinating and jailbreak my latest updated fire stick but haven't put the effort forth. There is a horror movie called "Big Bad Wolf" that is well-regarded but it is impossible to buy or rent even as a Blu-Ray. Plex has the rental though so I lazily spent the money lol. Gonna get drunk and drugged after work as soon as the sun goes down and then, via the Plex App on Apple +, see where this black comedy takes me with my Vizio 5.1.2 home theater!?!

 

I don't mess with JailBroken/Pirated apps. When I want to watch pirated content, I download it on my home desktop PC (Via Torrent or from a cloud storage download site) & than send the video file to my Fire TV's internal storage. Once I have it on my Fire TV, I watch it via the VLC Player app.

Speaking of Plex, in terms of functionality it's probably the best of all the major ad-supported free streaming apps. Plex was a popular established media player & server PC app years before they started making TV apps, so it shouldn't be a surprise their ad-supported free streaming TV app is more functional than their competitors. The only thing I have HATED about Plex's TV apps for years is that they don't play media files that are store on internal storage.

 

That scene in the trailer where she says "Philadelphia is starting to feel like home..." and looks longingly into the black officer's eyes...you can tell something is about to happen. It's on Hallmark though, so it's bound to be lukewarm, not white hot.

 

That sounds like several steps . . . wouldn't a good APK like "Cinema Free" work wonders with a mere use of the search function?!? It seems in my experience that almost EVERYTHING can be found there in HD quality streaming which the good CPU of a quality UHD 4K television would automatically upscale. It just sounds like you are putting in work my guy . . . "Cinema Free" has hardly ever failed me and all I had to do was type in the name of whatever I wanted to watch into its search function for free . . .

 

Speaking of the Hallmark Channel...
