Idlewild Release Date: 8.25.06
 

I just saw the trailer for OutKast's Idlewood. It looks really interesting.

I've been seeing commercials for it too. It does seem interesting. Outkast is a pretty creative group (esp. Andre) so I'm sure their creativity will shine through in this movie. I think it's called Idlewild though. I plan to see it because I'm so tired of the same movies with the same story lines. I really like their new song too, Like a Marching Band? (I think is the title) It reminds me of my undergrad college days and our marching band. There's nothing like those HBCU marching bands.

I saw the previews for this on Sunday night. I'd like to check it out.

I kinda want to see it too but after seeing that disaster of a movie Miami Vice I’m scared to go back to the movies!

Idlewild.

I just got back from a screening. It was very eccentric, in typical OutKast fashion. Bryan Barber's cinematography reminded you of his videos. It was something different for a feature film.

I do not know what your expectations are, but you will probably not expect what goes on.

Let's just say, I don't think I'd pay $8 to see it. Kudos to the duo for attempting to make a film.

survey says...
 

I'd rather buy the soundtrack than go see the movie

That's why it's named "Morris Brown". :D

I'm being lazy on buying the CD, but I'm looking forward to listening to some more innovation. I can't wait to see them on screen.

If any child from Tri-Cities HS in East Point, GA ever talks about what s/he can't do, they need to look no further than Andre and Big Boi everytime doubt enters their mind. It's still impressive and amazing to see what ingenuity and passion from two young men produced. :cool: Atlanta is so proud during Idleweek.

my sentiments exactly. to me they are the epitome of southern rap, instead of this "lean wit it, rock wit it", crunk, whatever craze.

^^^ I *heart* you!

You can only lean and rock and snap so much before it devolves into shrugs of boredom.

You can always do the Chicken Noodle Soup and then drop it like it's hot, bankhead bounce and set if off with a little laffy taffy.

Can someone please tell me what I just wrote? Is that a menu?

don't forget to "walk it out" at the end.

Time out.... Is there a dance called the Chicken Noodle Soup? If there is, I seriously missed it.

And you made a sista hongry. Time for some breakfast....

^^ yea joja peach... I heard it on the radio... almost had an accident while driving... I tht dancehall music was creative but lately rap music got them beat

Heres a clip of the dance. I'm not too crazy about it...

HC when I see this dance, I am reminded of that WB Network Frog.




Seems like another 'jig'.

Ok, I have heard of this dance but had never seen it...now that I have seen it, all I can say is....WHAT IN THE HAYLE!!!!

That's not a dance,that's a fit!!!:p

all that's missing is a banjo, a harmonica and black shoe polish to go on their faces...

Okay!!!!!

Why is that soooo true. :mad: WTF is goin' on?!! First Survivor has the teams divided into races, the black children are made to ride on the BACK of the dayum bus, and we have people "shuckin' and jivin" and callling it a dance.

ETA: Did that song say "Chicken noodle soup with crackers on the side"?:confused:

Worse...it's chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side :confused: go figure?

I saw the movie tonight. Not what I expected, but not bad. I didn't like the ending though. :(

OH THE HORROR!
 

That can't be healthy.... :rolleyes:

I'm :( but mostly :mad: :mad: :mad: at them. They are straight shuckin' and jivin' in 2006. And this is from Harlem??? The same home of the Harlem Renaissance comes out with hot mess 60+ years later? :(

Umm...it makes me hope that snapping, leaning, and rocking doesn't stop yet. Anything to counter the movement of chicken noodle soup. Just leave that on the shelf at the grocery store.

Now you know they "probably" don't know too much about the Harlem Renaissance. They would probably say, "I don't know where that hotel is" or some BS like that. :rolleyes:

LMAO @ shuckin and jivin, cause that's what it looks like.


our people... :o :(

^^^ It's funny, but the sad thing is that your assessment is probably true.

I showed my brother (24) the footage, and he was just as disgusted as I am. He made a good general point about dances from the South: they're easy. How hard is it to lean wit it, rock wit it, and throw a snap in? The Bankhead Bounce and throwing dem bows are easy, too.

The best part: You can respect yourself and your race in the morning. That Chicken Noodle Isht set us back at least a century. My brother was just waiting for the children to put their open hands next to their faces as they were skinnin' and grinnin'.

I saw the movie this weekend....It was good but not great. There were a few points where i was like, ummm, that's not from this time period....and my Soror next me kept telling me to hush.:o

I'm just a stickler for period pieces. if you're going to do it, go alllllll the way.

I kept thinking the same thing.:confused:

How come when I see that dance I think about the part in Roots where Chicken George was stompin' around in the dirt with the dayum banjo?
Sad, just sad.

"ooooo massa... what you gon do...." *doing a lil jig, then taking a break to stuff my face with watermelon"

ROTFLMBO!!!!!! :D
