A Matter Of Opinion Number

 My Problems with Historical Black Fiction Film 

or 

Why I'm Not Excited (YET) about

The Harder They Fall.

Many my friends have been asking me why I have not been posting everywhere about ....what I know will be a great film called
The Harder They Fall!

The Harder They Fall is a new western with all star black actors including 
Regina King and Indris Elba.

Normally I would be excited.

BUT.

I still have "black people lose"  hangover from so many films about our "history."

I love Posse. A great western. However, I am not going back in the theater or getting excited about The Harder They Fall because I have a feeling...it's going to spend the first quarter of the movie introducing some dope characters.

Then after we get to see them kick the system in the teeth....the system with hunt them down one by one with the tail told by an old survivor.

I have nothing more than a feeling of hangover from Posse to go on...and the fact that this is a common trope for black films and some action films like The Dirty Dozen.

I will support The Harder They Fall but after the year I had. I want a film with the spoiler "Black People Win and Do Alright and Live Their Best Life at the end of this film."

Save Me Some Pop Corn.

Celebrating Life! Back Outside! About Last Night!

I should be sleep right now.
But I want to share this wisdom before it escapes me.
ENJOY YOUR LIFE TODAY.

Man. 
I used to see Rich Medina a couple times a week. Every week.

He's a member of The AC crew of DJ's.
Every time I see him he asks about my brother Mark, my brothers Larry, Thadd and Shawn.

However, work, family, life keeps us so busy we are lucky if we see each other every five years!

Then last night I ran into Naila, Irize and I met FREE and we cut up like we been knowing eaach other since the 1990's.

I am blessed to have survived 2020 and I know it.

If I would have stayed home last night...I would have missed so much beautiful life.

More went on than I captured on grainy camera phone pictures.
I only wish I had bought the real camera...but the love as always is 100%.

Whoever you love on what ever level ...be around them...shine on em....and enjoy your life.
Please and Thank You.
