I just have a basic rule about supporting anything that is remotely reminiscent of the Blaxploitation period. For the 1970s it may have been cool (although I personally don't care for the suggestive messages made), but we are in the new millineum and that slapstick and unintelligible mess is just out. Amidst my dismay and non-support of such intellectually disadvantaged forms of comedy...somebody
out there is supporting this mess. Because a movie simply ain't getting made if there isn't an audience.
Second, I just don't like Eddie Griffith...he's too up in the clouds for me, if you get my drift. My favorite comedians have something to say: Chris Rock, Chris Tucker, Steve Harvey, Cedric "The Entertainer", Eddie Murphy (his movies, not the standup), and Bernie Mac. Eddie just doesn't have any substantive things to make me want to listen, nor see him.
