On Wednesday September 3rd, 2008 The Scion Independent Film Series makes it way back to ATL for the 3rd year in a row. The feature of the evening will be “Heavy Metal In Baghdad.”
As usual the event is free for all who RSVP at www.scion.com/route. There will be free popcorn and free beer on deck.
This is a chance for you to come out and see something different, as well as catch something you won’t see on the big screen. Oh.. For a few of you it’ll be a chance to catch one of those exclusive Scion gift bags that were at the Bun B event.
Either way mark your calenders and we look forward to seeing you there. Check the flyers below, as well as the You Tube trailer for the movie.
When Ironman came out the word was Ghostface was suppose to make a cameo in it. Besides his video being played in the background for 3 seconds there was no Ghost. Not until now that is… With the Iron Man DVD being released soon, they finally gave us what we wanted to see in the movie. The scene with Ghost! I call this joint: Tony Starks meets Tony Starks.
And while were talking about Tony Starks, here’s a few extra treats. If you don’t have this album below do yourself a favor and go grab it (not download) you gotta have this one for the artwork and liner notes alone!

OK so I peeped Hancock about a week ago.. another SMASH hit for Will Smith. As expected it pulled in big numbers on July 4th weekend($66 million weekend debut). But I’ve been coming across some criticisms of the film.. and I thought i would share and possibly open up some dialogue on it. Out of respect for those who haven’t seen it yet I wont spoil anything.. but if you have seen it or don’t care about spoilers.. click that link below to read the commentary. Or you can just check the trailer..
[spoiler /View Spoilers/ /Hide Spoilers/]
So i came across this earlier today.. check it out
1) Is it just a coincidence that first Black superhero just happens to be a dirty, smelly, alcoholic who treats people like crap? Hancock was more like a corner bum than a hero (remember when he took the liquor bottle to the bathroom?).
2) Is it just a coincidence that a clean cut white man comes along to save him? Go watch movies like “Amistad” and “A Time to Kill” to see many other examples in which the white male is clean and heroic, while the black male character is strong, yet misguided, uneducated or in need of saving. This clearly links to history, in which Europeans would go to Africa to “enlighten the savages”.
3) Did you notice that when Hancock was engaging in anti-social, erratic behavior, the film played hip hop music? I remember hearing “Move Bitch Get out tha way!” (Ludacris) as Hancock was flying through the expressway with a liquor bottle and destroying public property. Then, when he went to prison, I heard Ice-T’s “Colors” being played in the background. Interesting.
4) What’s the deal with Hancock having to go to prison before the public chooses to accept him? Is there any other superhero movie in which the hero goes to prison? Of course when he went to prison, Hollywood suddenly turned black. Prison scenes provide lots of employment opportunities for black male actors. Honestly, I think with all the real life examples of black men going to prison, we don’t need black kids seeing super heroes going to the penitentiary too.
5) Did the press conference scene, in which Hancock was humbly submitting himself to the American public remind you of Terrell Owens of the Dallas Cowboys giving that sad little boy speech a couple of years ago? Like Owens, Smith was standing as the tall, muscular black man, next to the short white guy in a business suit, there to teach him how to be sophisticated, professional and presentable to the public. Owens never committed any crime, people just thought that he had “poor character”. Interesting.
I won’t even get into the complicated discussion about Charlize Theron’s role in the film. That would be for another conversation.
What do yall think about this.. even with Charlize Theron’s role being the only weakness that this immortal has.. a white woman.. lol. Like i said.. I enjoyed the film.. and didnt read THAT far into it. .but obviously some people have.. and I think it would make for good discussion. Whats your take on it? Do you think people are reaching/over-reacting or are there some subliminal messages in this movie
[/spoiler]
Reunited and it feels soooo good!!! This is the best news I’ve heard since Nas’ album leaked 2 days ago!
