Love Don't Cost a Thing begins Friday. I didn't know Troy Beyer is the director.

Also, Soror Vanessa Bell-Calloway is in the film too.

I saw the making of it on BET last night. Does Vanessa have on a wig?

I guess I'm in the minority, but I would see HONEY any number of times, before I would pay for anything with that damned Nick Cannon in it. He is so sickening.


I am so tired of the media force-feeding us one celebrity after another, as if we are not smart enough to decide who we want to like. "Like this person, now. Okay, now she's the hot ticket"

It's like, they take one black male or one black female, and shove them down our throats. Read: Halle: then Vivica; then for a while, it was Nia Long; then for a minute it was Saana: most recently it's Gabrielle Union. Every black movie stars this person. I'm sick of it. Now, Nick Cannon is the new "IT" boy?

I don't think so.

He has a CD out? Whose buying it? 13 year olds? Give me a freaking break!

The thing is that NO ONE is buying that idiot boy's cd. He is teeeerrible!

Drumline was aight and my cousins liked his Nickelodeon show, but his music is just SO uninspired and cliched as to approach the genuinely nausea-inducing!

"My point is, how is the white chick (read: not Black) going to star in a move in which the entire cast is Black?

I am sick and tired of these movie execs acting like our story isn't worthy. Our story wouldn't make money. Our story has to have white folks in it or it's not real. Why can't our story just be our story, without the usual over-romanced storyline (Brown Sugar, etc.) While I am thankful for the positive portrayal that is offeered in these flicks...What's worse is when you have Black writers telling our story then it's not good enough, but when white folks do...or if it has enough white folks in it...then it's okay."


I always think back to Drumline. Why is that lil annoying white boy in the movie? You know, the one who "riverdances" with his drum. What is his purpose? More importantly, why was he on the movie poster and DVD?VHS cover!!!! Straight BS !!

I dunno. I heard Tom Joyner and 'nem talkin' bout it this morning.

Really, and he had a combined total of maybe 15 minutes of speaking time? :eek: :mad: :o

SOROR, to get the MASSES to purchase it...to rent it...to watch it!

It's about $$$$$$$$$.
