1. I have no idea. Maybe because there is a new group of kids (0-3 years old) who haven't seen this same plot 800 times.
2. No, I won't go see it but I will watch it with you on cable with the TV on mute as you fast forward to the shirtless scenes.
3. I SEE why you're still a fan.
Oh sweet goodness... AGAIN?!!! i really thought IFC was better than this... but to answer your questions...
1. there are alot of uncreative people out there who still rely heavily on shakespeare to carry then through a writers block. Because it's known, the plot is an easy palette to layer on some BS, so that pop culture addicts and tweens can enjoy it without using the same brain power it requires to read a play.
2. No i wont go see it. because these clowns tried to do romeo and juliet, othello, AND Carmen-the hip hopera all in one movie...all of which i have seem before. PLUS every one knows that if you are gonna do an interracial couples movie then you need to get Julia Stiles on board. This new girl is not gonna work for me... she annoyed me from the first clip.
3. I am still about supporting Nate Parker, I just hope this fiasco gets him some press so he can move on to making some more REAL movies. His new mantra should be "What would Will Smith and Don Cheadle do???" cuz if he keeps taking roles like this...he'll be doing BET originals for the rest of his career. Real Talk.
even in this trailer there is so much more to cover/bash... but I wanna get back to watching ugly betty episodes... so I can't spare the time! maybe more later...
Nope, not going to see this. Mainly because I can't watch movies done in verse. It makes my stomach hurt.
It's also so absolutely fake. Do you know any ganstas with white girlfriend's. Think about it... nope, you don't.

How about some new questions.
1. How fine is Nate Parker. Ever since Great Debaters, he could get it. Still can. Even if he likes swirl.
2. Who the hell are you ambiguous white chick actress?
3. At least they found a new white actress to play the interracial love interest. What's her face from 10 Things I Hate About You was getting played out.
4. Why does it have to be a gang thing with the black people? Why can't it be rich boogie stuck up prejudiced black people like "Something New"? Now that was interesting.
And now I will answer the original questions.
1. ???
2. No. I will Netflixs it. Unless there is a black director or producer involved. Then I will try to muster my five dollars of support at the E Street Theatre.
3. Please refer to #1 of the New Questions.
Yeah.
hell no.
*i should stop there, but i can't*
*hell-to-tha-mutha-effing-naw*
first, i DIED laughing with the opening clip of the white chic doing the body roll. DIED. then i reversed it and watched it again.
second, we should rent this when we are together in april and dissect it over sangria and 11 minutes of perfection...who's down?
third, np, boo, why? i will ALWAYS love you (cue whitney pre-crack). BUT, this mess MUST end. now. maven hit the nail on the head. he betta take a cue from Denzel and Co. and get some good gigs...with THE quickness!
wait a minute. let's not forget about denzel and the Pelican Brief. he had to do his vanilla dip too...
wait. i just caught the 11 minutes of perfection. lol! yes!
you know what, it's not even the vanilla dip i have issues with. it's the WHACK, PLAYED OUT story line (which happens to involve a fine-ass bruh dipping his chocolate stick in vanilla).
oh yes, 11 minutes. all day. but cornflake will regain her post as queen of the 11 minutes. i resign after august's reunion fiasco. damn 'ritas!
i'd go see it if a black girl poisoned juliet in the end.
