Movies with BM/WW Couples

Was reading up on reviews on The Dark Tower

A black female critic about Idris Elba: "Elba can't open a movie though! His last movie where he was a lead was a dud! If he does not have a more popular Black woman as a co-star, then his movies fail."

Funny how some people are shitting on The Dark Tower a month before it's release and is very popular amongst readers of the novel. And most sites are promoting as
highly anticipated.
He has of course an anticipated Oscar bait movie coming up this fall, they are already noticing Idris Elba has had white female leads recently I mentioned that they will be coming for Idris and it slowly starts. Along with The Dark Tower, Idris Elba has mostly diverse films coming out with white female co-stars.

 

LOL. The last 2 movies that Idris starred in ("100 Streets" & "The Take") were both foreign movies that were released by indie film studios in the U.S., they don't count.

Can you post the link to the review? That excerpt from her review makes it seem like she's just a random BW on social media, the hater site I like to whine about, or the comments section of an article/YouTube video instead of an actual film critic. How does she have a review out when the movie doesn't come out for another month?

 

Oh I didn't mean film critic (she could be.) but I was getting at her criticism of Idris. But it is in the comments section of this article. https://shadowandact.com/weekend-box-office-june-30-july-2-sonys-big-risk-pays-off-for-baby-driver

The article did bring them out, though with a little criticism of The Dark Tower. I have no problem with most of what they said in the article, but they were dead wrong on the anticipation of the movie. The Trailer to it on YT is already over 15 million views since it's release in May, most of the bad comments it's getting on YT is that of racist fans, but if you go to the comment section of this trailer it is one of the very few videos that have more praise and good things about the video. Fans of the book of course are loving it. I have heard about the book, the trailer looks good and the commercials I have seen as well.

Idris Elba haven't really had a leading role in a American Film set for theatrical release. Even if this does flop (which I doubt.) It won't be because of him and he has ANOTHER anticipated film he's starring in coming out in October and he is in Thor: Raganork. I just have a feeling this is Idris' year. I think he will do well. But as I said with that is going to come the backlash from black women that will try to bring him down, because one of those films is an IR romance and he has had white on screen love interest in the past like in 100 Streets.

Don't wish it, but I could just feel it coming.

 

I saw The Take but not 100 Streets. Hope to see the latter soon.

 

TRANSFIGURATION - Indie Horror Flick

 

Just what we need another horror flick. No doubt homeboy dies before the end of the flick.

Little Boxes was his last starring role. He has another movie coming up in September called True To The Game. He was just 39. My condolences. RIP.

 

It always makes me think about my own mortality when brothers who are younger than me pass away from illness R.I.P.

 

I understand completely.

 

Wow. He would be sorely missed.

 

Wait that was him in Little Boxes...I didn't recgonize him at all.

Damn shame fine actor. RIP Brother.

 

Nice.

 

^I live my women like ice cream, VANILLA!!

 

@darkcurry 1 of the podcasts I listen to (FiyaStarter Podcast) was talking about "The Circle" & John Boyega's disappointing role in the movie. And they brought up young star film actresses with black male actors in films. Do agree with what they saying?

Here's the link: https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/fiyastarter/episodes/2017-07-05T22_09_25-07_00

The discussion happens during the 1:08:14-1:15:25 period.

 

I thought the one dude had a point and I think TDK have mentioned this that Hollywood isn't going to let these mainstream white female stars in their prime have a black man as their romantic love interest. (although he said it much differently. LMAO! Dude was blunt as hell.) But their have been exceptions like Kristen Bell, Michelle Pfieffer and Lucy Hale in her upcoming series for the CW. But yeah for the most part they still do everything they can to friendzone black men with these actresses ESPECIALLY when they are in their prime.

They also referenced it is also a practice done it porn sometimes, these brothas are woke. That's what's needed in order to eradicate a problem, more and more people have to recognize that Hollywood has one.

 

Kristen Bell & Lucy Hale are TV stars though. They were talking about film starlets.

 

Meh even an Indian Guy can get a white girl in a movie....but a black man still cant...

Granted I think the Big Sick is one off but the point stands.

 

Still female stars in their prime is where I was getting at. Plus Kristen Bell is both a movie star and tv star.

 

Sorry, but that's incorrect. That scene was definitely in the film when it was released. I was around 10 or 12 when the movie cam out. I saw it in the theater. We caught bus and snuck in.

 

has anyone seen, "How to make love to a negro without getting tired"... 1989?
