[scifinoir2] Freaknik the musical

Every now and then the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim does something unusual for Black people. Well this year they are airing Freaknik an hour long animation with the voices of Snoop, T-Pain, Rick Ross, Young Cash and others. It should be pretty crazy. Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watc

McSweeney's No.33. I love big, fat newspapers. I subscribe to the Milwaukee Journal and the Chicago Tribune and it is sad to see them slowly shrink into oblivion (the Tribune is now almost tabloid size). This one shot, high concept retro newspaper cost $235,000 to produce and costs $16.00 at

Re: [scifinoir2] My Take - "Cop Out"

To Smith's credit--by way of a half butt excuse--he didn't write the screenplay, just directed someone else's work. Indeed, you can see Smith's directing style: the movie feels less like a film than a collection of short scenes strung together, punctuated by what feels for all the world like a l

Indeed, racism is alive and well in the South--and in the North, West, mountains, plains, everywhere. In a curious way, racism may not be as widespread in the Northeast and upper Midwest, but when encountered, it can actually be more vitriolic. A curious paradox (and racism is full of them), is

It's when he changes styles. "Jersey Girl" was his attempt to be more mainstream. Smith has a wry sense of humour, an understated style that lends itself to quirky humour, improvisational acting, and short skits strung together to make a film. He's not the best with trying to film traditional m
