MTV's Carmen - Memorable Moments (LMAO)

prayerfull · #1 05-09-2001, 01:31 PM

What a WASTE of airtime. I know that the execs at Snapple are ticked off that they paid all those advertising dollars for that hunk of hot ghetto mess.

Here are my memorable moments:

1. Why was Lil Bow Wow in the same jail cell as Mekhi? What happened to juvenile centers?

2. Why was Bow Wow trying to fight that grown prisoner outside the jail.

3. Mekhi's line..."all I could think about in jail was the smell of your hair"....LMBAO - I can smell that horse mess through the TV, so I know what he means!

4. What's up with the red dress at the bar? Was it a special occassion.

5. Mekhi's fiance looked 100% better than Carmen.

6. How is it that he slept with her one night and the next day they were in love and wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

7. I've never heard of a policman letting someone stop off at home to take off a ring. (huh?)

8. Since when did Rodeo drive have palm reading shops?

WHY OH WHY did my husband wake up this morning and say "I had a dream about Destiny's Child - ALL NIGHT LONG". Poor soul was in shock when I told him that they all have weaves.

I want to see the actual opera Carmen after viewing this ridiculous waste of air time. I loved the plot though. Had it been done more TASTEFULLY i would have enjoyed it more. That thang was way too ghetto!

ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN

And what about Lil Bow Wow trying to run from the cops in that yellow vest?!? Where did he think he was gonna hide looking all bright!
The only scene of the movie that I liked was when homegirl stole on her man after she and Beyonce had their little tussle

If you want to see a QUALITY movie about Carman please rent "Carman Jones" starring Dorothy Dandridge & Harry Belafonte it's one of my all time favorites. I fell asleep after watching MTV's version for about 20 min.

AND JUST HOW DID BEYONCE AND MEKHI MAKE IT TO CALIFORNIA THAT FAST IN THE CAR?!?

AND HOW REALISTIC WAS IT OF RAH DIGGA AND A$$ CRACK TO BE INVITED TO LIVE IN BEVERLY HILLS/ L.A. AFTER MEETING BLAZE FOR THE FIRST TIME?

You should be able to find "Carman Jones" in most video stores in the "musicals" or "classics" section.

Hey ladies,
I don't mean to barge in on your conversation but I had heard that Carmen was based of like a Shakespear play. Is that correct or not. I've read your threads and heard about a movie/musical, but I thought that if it were actually based off one of William's plays then that might perhaps explain some of the odd things...well that and it IS MTV. What can we all expect. Anyway, hope someone knows. Thanks.

LOL @ each and every one of you!!!!

I just wanna know why old boy (Mos Def) came all the way from Philly to Cali with only two bullets in his gun. What in the world was that all about?

And how about when it didn't shoot the first six times he was aiming at Mehki, he tried to shoot it again later. Were we supposed to believe that it was clogged or jammed?

In the words of the gay movie critics on In Living Color...... "HATED IT!!!!!!!!!!" With two snaps and a hip wiggle.

I was trying to be nice in the other thread by saying she has "potential". Now, with a good acting coach maybe she can get there. Or maybe not...
