This is all I remember from this movie, aside from the terrible, scary, fake shark!

Touche. I thought Perry took the role to... appear straighter? (Note: EYE don't think he comes off as gay, no matter how many pairs of hose and wigs he dons as Madea. I don't find anything about him "gay," and wondering what others are seeing.)

Maybe. I thought it was more along the lines of expanding his horizon. Kind of like doing Good Deeds and The Family That Preys for a more diverse audience.

deepest, bluest... my hat is like a shark's fin. James Todd, what? I thought for years it was his head was like a shark's fin, which is still odd because he's a total milk dud up top. So not G lyrics!
and YES to TP expanding his acting chops. I can take or leave his acting, but I really enjoyed Good Deeds.

True that City of Bones didn't do well in theaters, and I heard about the 2nd Mortal Instruments being adapted, but production has been delayed and the director from the first movie dropped out, and there's been no talk of a release date, so, I just hope they don't cancel it.

Remake and new by the same author, who I can't for the life of me come up with right now.
The First Wives Club was such a great and seriously dark book. Why they couldn't keep the Bette Midler storyline intact was ridiculous, even then.
Then the same author wrote a great and WAY darker book called Flavor of the Month. I don't know who they'd get to potentially ruin their careers but if done right would probably win Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor because of the crazy shite they'd have to believably pull off.

I'd like to see kind of like a series of movies about the Divine 9. A series about each of the 9 bglos and the obstacles the Founders had to climb when each organization was founded. It would definitely have to be a Spike Lee Joint production.

CG, so far this is really good. We will have to discuss when I'm done watching.
