Okay, okay, I went to see this freakin' movie, and though I originally thought that it would be the wackest joint ever, I liked it more than I liked that ubberwack movie, Drumline. I was impressed with both the writing and production that went into it, (Written by a man of Omega) (produced by two Men of ALPHA PHI ALPHA) hell, Alphas produce everything anyway, so, the holistic Black Greek family should support these men and this endeavor.
Sensuret I, how in the hell can Bruhs boycott you? Whomever sent you that email has me flatfooted, and whomever sent it, was probably not made right anyway. There's Busters in every organization Bruh. We fly high, no lie, we ballin'.

they must not know 'bout you...

the movie was funny... couldn't stop laughing... especially when he pulled out Chris Brown's gloves at the end of the step/stomp off like he was He-Man twirling his sword, I thought he was about to scream "I have the pooooweerrr!!!"...

I went to see "Children of Men" on Friday and the theater was flooded with the Blue and White family. My word. I have never seen so many members of the Zeta Phi Beta Sigma family.

Are you guys especially deep on the west coast? Having lived in the south and in the midwest, I have never experienced great numbers of the Blue and White family.

Sawrahs were obviously boycotting that mess b/c I only saw one Soror. Didn't see any Alphas. Saw a few Deltas.

Children of Men was good but left alot of rocks unturned. Part deux? Probably.

i've heard mixed reports. my coworker took her 13-year old twins. the kids loved it and she said the stepping makes HER want to go to college, not now but right now (LOL). My best friend (a professor at an hbcu) didn't like it, but she over-analyzes and criticizes everything anyway.

I guess it's a solidly "o.k." movie, so i'll be seeing it soon.

I saw the movie with my husband and we both enjoyed it. I think it was done well. I was not feeling the howling though. That was definitely WACK!!

LOL. The howling was wack but the stepping in the BEGINNING of the movie was wacker.

Lady of Pearl 01-22-2007 08:01 PM

I haven't seen it of yet but heard some reviews which makes one wonder if stepping is all that fraternity life is about and will we be attracting possible members as just a result of that. What also concerned me that on the opening day of the movie it grossed something like 38 million but Sony only gave 650,000! to the Martin Luther King Memorial come on they surely could have gave at least a million!:rolleyes:

Senusret I 01-22-2007 08:04 PM

I try not to judge the charitable actions of others, even Oprah.

<--- Does not know what it takes to make a movie, so I don't assume whether a million is a drop in the bucket or not.

Lady of Pearl 01-22-2007 08:15 PM

They could have been more charitable -they grossed very well over a million off of those who went to see it.:eek:

Senusret I 01-22-2007 08:23 PM

I'm sure the National MLK Memorial Foundation is grateful for whatever donations they can receive.

Say it again TonyB. !!!! They have no idea. :D

7thSonofOsiris 01-23-2007 04:43 PM

De-mystified...
 
TonyB,

Bruh, my original issue with this movie was that it may have stood only to de-mystify the power of steppin' and, that it may only attract some whack dudes because that's what they'll be thinking that we stand for, BUT!, I say, let the dudes who'll think, that's what fraternities only exist for, come with those thoughts, and they'll see that the fire associated with being made, can't be summed up in a dance-off styled movie, mang. Like Mystikal said, "this here is real life, this ain't no f#*kin' cartoon". I need to watch my mouf.

Okay, I know I'm late. I finally saw the movie. I feel it was great overall. I'm mad at how the orgs were seeking out dude to help win a step show. I mean come one. How lame is that? The prophytes versus neophytes step challenge was nice. I prefer old school stepping/strolling versus new school. Some of these things I see sororities and fraternities doing now is off the chain. Are you stepping/strolling or dancing? There is a difference. My favorite strolls of all time to see is the AKA national stroll and Set It Off. :D

At least that's what one of your sorors told me she was doing. :rolleyes:

Also, your sorors used the term in the "Are some phrases/words SPECIFIC to certain Greek orgs?" thread. I mean come on. Apparently yall need to help each other, for you know there's no other. PLEASE!!!

dont get me wrong, I supported the brothers flick when it came out (our local Pan made a night of it and took over the theaters in Emeryville) but this wasn't powerful enough for me to buy it.

You should have helped yourself, but now all you can do is put quotes in your signature!
Should she need to educate HER SORORS (including me), I'm sure she will since WE help each other. Thanks for playing!

Stomp the Yard was one of the worst films I've seen in a long time. I heard all the negative stuff about it but I held off judging it. I rented it for $1 and watched it with my wife. Aside from the erroneous depiction of Black Greek Life in so many ways,it was very disjointed and the acting was stilted.
