From the vault: Meet The Perry's

During the months that my blog space remained dormant, I actually wrote a bit here and there. I just never got around to actually publishing them. How rebellious of me, eh?

Anyhow, I have decided to actually "print" a few of the old ones just for the hell of it! So without any further adieu, I present to you "Meet the Perry's"!

I've read numerous rants and raves slamming Tyler Perry's work. It's quite entertaining to me because the majority of positive reviews I read accuse the negative reviews of being racist regardless of who wrote it. Completely immature. I love how people can throw the race card in to add the depth of drama. And to back up their claim that they are in the right (even if they are full of horse shit).

We all have our opinions on what makes a good movie. If you enjoy it, and you think it's the best thing since analingous, then good for you. It's a good movie. But don't say it's racist, sexist, or whatever you can muster up in opposition to a negative review when that negative review has enough concrete evidence that the film is total rubbish.

Well Tyler Perry has made a name for himself in the African-American community and I applaud him for his success. Altho I'm surprised I haven't seen one of his films yet. I guess I am going to have to NetFlix them. Regardless, I hear they are all the same. Eh, who cares. The horror films I watch all follow the same formula, and that doesn't bother me one bit. I'm entertained, and that is all that matters.

I do have to admit the fact that he continues to put his name in front of all of his titles is bit jarring in my opinion. I guess that can be considered a branding marketing technique. Insuring that the marketed audience is in awareness that this is indeed a Tyler Perry feature. Since those are the people who are flocking to this films opening weekend. Thank you Lions Gate.

Now there was one review I read today that included this statement I found tantalizing: "His relentless need to brand everything with his name indicates what his real motivation is." This review included a link to one of hilarious spots (not to mention highly entertaining) from E's Hollywood trashing show The Soup. This one ranks right up there next to their mocking of the Beyonce American Express commercial. Check this one out for yourself:



Moments from shows like this makes me wish I had constant access to the brain numbing vision of the television set. Ah, maybe in due time. But until then, thank heaven for YouTube.
