won't watch this one - will watch another
 

I am not going to be watching Honey since I don't like Mehki Phifer, but I will be watching the remark of Can't Buy Me Love called Love Don't Cost A Thing with Nick Cannon, Steve Harvey and Christina Milian. I enjoy watching Nick Cannon and I am going to be at the movies with every other teenie bopper in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

click here for the movie's website

click here for a story about preproduction on the movie

I saw that last night. :o

Girlllll, I might haveta visit the bootleg man. :o

Tell Steve he ain't John Witherspoon. :rolleyes:

I have to side with the majority and wait for the video.

I love to dance and dancing is all in my blood but this does remind me alot of Save the Last Dance. I mean I could just watch that and insert some hip hop stars and it will be Honey. BUt they are really blowing this movie up like it has an original concept.......OHHHHH BTW, did anyone hear about the guys that are suing the wroters and producers of Drumline proclaiming that Dallas Austin stole his idea after he told him the storyline.

It doesn't surprise me that someone is suing, but it really wouldn't surprise me if Dallas did actually hold onto the story he heard from someone else. He is something else here in Atlanta and though there is no doubt that he is talented, he also has a reputation of doing things that don't require the most morals in the world.

I like dance movies too, but I don't see myself doing the Honey thing.

I didn't know that Dallas had a bad reputation in Atlanta. I thought everyone held him in high regards.

I have to agree that I won't be supporting this movie. It really pisses me off that they blow up all these non-black girls for things that "we" have been doing for years. There are hundreds of black girls on the grind that can dance. Black women have been having big butts and major body for years. J. Lo steps out of the shadows and suddenly, it's popular to be shapely. The list goes on. How are you gonna make a hip-hop style movie with a majority black cast, but the star has to be a white girl? Yet, I will disgress before my blood pressure goes up...

I will save my dollars and support real movies, not cheap ploys to make money off our people. They know that Missy, Mekhi, Lil Romeo, and all "our" other big name stars that they have in the film will draw a crowd, but guess who will make all the cash and get the recognition?

Is this director the video director Billie Woodruff?

LOL. Sistagreek, I use that saying ALL THE TIME!!!!!! Borrowed it from Adele Givens. I agree, his shirt is definately dirty!!!

Yeah. The former BET intern/worker.

The chick who plays in Honey seems like she could play Winter in "The Coldest Winter..."

As luck would have it, I have FREE passes for BOTH of these movies. One for Friday, one for Monday! So I'm going to check them out because it's free. I would not have paid for them!

Jessica Alba is actually Hispanic but I agree. Sometimes I think why not have a black girl? But you have to realize that is how they sell the movie to mainstream America. If there is a black male lead and a black female lead, then it becomes (gasp) a 'black movie' and they don't want that. I never saw 'Save the Last Dance' for the same reason.

You don't have a Black girl character with a Black boy character because the people making the movies are thinking Where's the intrigue? Where's the conflict? They always have to beat us over the head with some kind of racial commentary to legitimize the ridiculous story that they are trying to tell. In addition, they was do reach out to a market that is touched by one or the other. Supposedly, "white" people will be drawn to Jessica Alba going the hip hop route as opposed to the ballet route and Black people will be drawn to Mehki Phifer/Missy/Farnsworth Bentley/Lil Romeo/etc. respecting and accepting her as one of their own. It's been done . . . and I am not a Mehki fan . . . isn't he the one from The Boy Is Mine video??

That would be him.

I didnt see Save the last Dance for the same reason, but I finally saw it on HBO last year, and it was pretty good. I forget dude's name but he is FINE. lol

I saw the commercial (On BET, no less) for Love Dont Cost a Thing. hmmmm...I'll have to see it b/c Christina Milian is from here (Waldorf, MD to be exact). Gotta support local talent.

I won't be seeing Honey b/c Mekhi Phifer b/c he's a super BUSTER.
:mad:

Dang, did I really say "they was do"? I meant they want to . . .

I looked on the internet to find out more about this Mehki Phifer -- a buster indeed. I hate to say this, but I was getting him confused with Omar Epps. I was like is he the one from LOVE AND BASKETBALL? -- not so much . . . is he the one from THE WOOD? -- shucks, not so much . . . is he the one from that En Vogue video from the SET IT OFF soundtrack? -- that's the one.

What's it gonna be
Cuz I can't pretend?
Are we gonna be
More than friends?
Hold me tight and don't let goooooo,
Don't let goooooo . . .
