Black Snake Moan
 

Why?

LOL. My sentiments exactly. Why?

What's this movie about? I keep hearing about it.

Not an AKA obviously, but I saw a Conan w/ Ricci, and she indicated it was about a promiscuous and generally troubled southern girl who makes friends w/ Samuel L. They were talking about how the cover was misleading, because it makes her look like she's his sexslave or something, while in actuality he's somewhat of a mentor figure to her. I dunno if this is accurate, but its what I gathered.

From the preview I saw I think he does chain her up to keep her from going *somewhere* whether that's back to an abusive boyfriend, or to her drunken/drugged/sex-crazed life I dunno. I think it was more than just handcuffs but it's been a while. But yeah, no sex-slave or anything.

i saw the commercial for the first time last night. Ricci was in her underwear (a tank top maybe?) and chained up and Samuel J. was yelling (as usual).

weird beyond words.

I watched the trailer for the movie on MySpace and he finds her near his house naked laying on the ground...I guess he chains her up to keep her from her wicked ways, drugs, sex, whatever...he sings blues or something to her and looks very sweaty and stinky throughout the trailer...Samuel L. has a knack for looking very sweaty quite often...:confused: :confused: it looks like a very strange movie...

Why does that title sound like a bad porn flick?:eek:

What surprises me is that it's being produced by John Singleton and Stephanie Allain, both AfAm.

Same thing I heard..
 

I saw an interview where the actress said something to the effect that Samuel L. Jackson's character is like a best-friend of her character and he chains her up to keep her from going out to do drugs. The trailers are misleading. I might check it out.

YES THEY DESERVED TO DIE AND I HOPE THEY BURN IN HLEL!!!!

Samuel is seriously type casted

Controversy generates buzz, which generates moviegoers, which equates to (usually) cha-ching ($$$$)! :p




I don't know what you all are talking about. I'm going to find this trailer. :o

Found it:

The title? It's different, but I'm not going to say a porn title. The poster is pushing it.

I've seen worse. John and 'em ARE pushing the envelope. It could become a cult classic. :shrug:

I've seen some interviews and the trailer as well. I'm intrigued enough to go see it...provided that it actually makes its way down here to the 5th Circle of Hell (b.k.a. Monroe). :rolleyes:

Some things won't EVA change!
 

You're gonna have to go to S'port. :p Shyt, you might have to go to Jackson.

They aren't EVEN having a neegra with a white chick in chains. Na. Not even in 2thousand and seven. lol

P.S. We play ya'll Nov. 10th. THAT'S.GOING.TO.BE.INTERESTING!

Okay...why did I think this was a sequel to Snakes on a Plane? lol, I had a slow moment! Looks interesting but I will probably wait till it comes out on dvd. Can't see myself going to see this one.

I know, soror. Unfortunately, I don't have a car (anymore), so I can't take weekend road trips to B.R. or "Port City" (never been, BTW) to go see the "real" movies I love. :( :mad:

Re: Nov. 10th: Yes! It'll be interesting, indeed! It's already an "event" I've been invited to on Facebook (lol)! I don't normally attend the games, but I'll guess I'll have to since it will be *SOOOOOO* momentous! :p

Why is all I can still come up with:confused:

Why are you like an hour from ny hometown!!!:D

Me too and I was really confused. I don't know about this one at all.

Just saw another preview, she is a sex addict.

I'm excited to see it. It looks very intriguing and I can't to see more of Samuel L. Jackson with his southern accent Bible-toting self in the movie.

WTH kind of movie is this going to be? I can't lie, I am interested in it...(bootleg style:cool: )

Just checked Fandango, soror. It will be playing...at BOTH theaters (usually movies like this just play at Tinseltown in West Monroe). :eek: This is an opportunity I MUST seize!!!

Ahh . . . Whats the target audience? Men that would want a sex addict captive in their homes?

Oh wait . . . thats a pretty big demographic . . .;)

ETA: Isn't he (Jackson) in amazing shape for almost 60?

Every time I see the title of this movie, I have to sing it to the tune of Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden.

There's a really interesting interview with the director (who also directed Hustle & Flow) on the Salon.com website. It certainly made me see the movie through new eyes. I'll probably see it tonight or tomorrow.

I am so excited about this movie it's not even funny.

I love Samuel L. Jackson! I can't wait to see what one liners I can coin off this movie!

^^^hijack^^^ I *LOVE* that song! :D ^^^end hijack^^^

I'll probably see the movie sometime next week.

LMAO.....the previews are seriously misleading....

so I saw the movie this weekend, and it was really really really good... it pushes the envelope almost off the table... and the music... lawd... it almost made me want to go to the South and find a real blues jook joint and let it all hang out...

C'mon, it's one not too far from me. :D

DITTO!!! DITTO!! DITTO!!!

I loved ths movie...it was spellbounding...the music pulled me in and the grit kept me there...it was almost like I could feel that deep south heat and the humidity, it was just real...I will definitely be buying this one on DVD!!! Its a sleeper!!

I have to agree..I went and saw the movie a couple of weeks ago and loved it. I wasn't thrilled with JT's acting, but Ricci and Jackson definitely played their roles. I admit that the trailors/previews were attention grabbing therefore creating a buzz so that people came out to the theatres.

This is the same director who brought us "Hustle & Flow," and he is basically trying to bring the history of music in the South to the big screen...this movie has a lot of Blues influence throughout it...hence the name of the movie is an old Blues song.

Great film and glad to see Singleton financially back it...
