Black Movies...

so what is a Black Movie...?


- Story Is set in a black neighbourhood in America.. that are poor ,chaotic, dangerous,

- Story is about some Black People
- Is made by a Black Director, Writers who are from the black neighbourhoods being represented...

- Has Black actors..maybe rappers


The films were low budget as they were aimed at a small market.. Black People..

The movement of Black Movies started in early 90s and made a big impact with select critics but not much national acclaim. THe movement produced up to 15 films.. and then just ended...

Here I will mention the best Black/ Ghetto Movies:


1. Boyz in the Hood - 1991

2. Menace To Society - 1992

3. Jasons Lyric - 1993

4 Poetic Justice - 1994

5 Above The Rim - 1994

Gisele to the Pope

An interesting question has been posed by the Brazil orn and raised Internationally famed supermodel, Gisele Bundchen, to the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church regarding one of the Catholic's Churchs favorite discussion topics...." contraception " ( via condems...)

The Church has alwas pronounced the same position on the subject....

" NO Condoms ... Only the Natural Way ..." ~ POPE

which is against the "modern american scientific way".....

Gisele has posed the following against the POPE with an interesting choice of words:

" To prohibit condoms is ridiculous, just think of all the diseases transmitted without them,".
"How is it possible to not want people to use condoms and also not have abortions? It's impossible, I'm sorry "

~ Gisele Bundchen


I wonder if anyone has given her the obvious answer the Pope or any sensisible person could have told her...! It appears she has totally missed the obvious one and had not even bothered to counter the reason for it... as most Americans do when they challenge the pope...

Seinfeld Soup Man

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L06udJXhfK0&feature=related --or click on article title..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uY3znlUE4g

I saw this video on you tube featuring.....a news reporter's interview with New York City Soup Shop Owner , Al Yeganeh.

Not just any soup shop....but the one that was featured on Seinfeld in the 90s.

This was a famous episode where the real life soup shop and owner, Al Yeganeh, was portrayed on the Seinfeld show by an actor and termed as the " SOUP NAZI ".

The term NAZI .. . is used here in the "post modern" American convention as meaning ..." too strict and disciplined" for "normal" Americans.

The show came to be ... when the Seinfeld writers noticed the popualarity of the Soup shop in NYC and also the notoriety of the owner among the countless customers on NYC. Seinfled writers found the owners character as comedic material fitting for the show and put him an episode.

Al Yeganeh, founded the shop in New York City and developed the shop into a successfull business by making top quality soups. He was not informed that he and his shop would be represented on the show and basically riduculed for the American viewers to enjoy.


Al Yeganeh's character is represented as too strict for casual nature of the Americans who come to shop. Strict refers to the rules he has in the shop for customers who come in. The rules are otherwise normal rules requiring ordering correctly and precisely and being well mannered in the shop. Failure to follow the rules,,, would result in Al Yeganeh removing you from the shop.

On the TV show, Al Yeganeh is portrayed as unreasonable and the blunders of the careless Americans, inherent to the image of normalcy accepted in America., as mild and minor. SO when the Americans blunder and make a mistake, and break the rules...they are denied the soup and thrown out.

When I first saw the show... in the 90s... I thought that it was a fiction..
Then I found out it was based on real character... and thought it has to be an exaggeration...but after seeing this video clipon you tube.. I can see that it is accurate match between the character on the show and the original person.


The writers of Seinfeld , who represent the intellectual portion of the American population, as they are Harvard educated millionaires, interpret the behavior of the soup man in the same way as the regular Americans...which is extremely rigid to a ridiculous level..

This episode shows how far removed American culture is... throughout the segments of American population to any establsihed standard of discipline in any environment... in this case a restaurant....

This concept of Discipline is one of the landmark features of the culture Gap between todays America and all other culures ( Muslims,. Indian, and Chinese).

Here the original character is Al Yeganeh. He is an immigrant of Iran and represents the culture of Iran in his disapproval of American attitude of apathy, blundering , and casual outlook in the form of their behavior in the shop.

In real life, the displeased New york customers had given him the nick name of terrorist, relating his Irananian Muslim background.

I assume terrorist is more insulting to him than NAZI.. which is what the TV show used.

Even though it is used for humour...it shows how Americans perceive the basic wualities of Asian culture...and how they would even humour it with other wise controversial terms as NAZI...

Here .. even though the character is IRanian.. the same type of culture gap could have resulted from a Chinese or Indian owner...
I wonder what nickname would have come for each of those.

The Name .. NAZI.. is only works if the guy is atleast in appearance... close to European.. and close to the original Nazis....

Here is a link to the video from you tube. showing how Al Yeganeh made his repuation...

Dutch made Film...vs ISLAM......

The Film is called FITNA.....made by Dutch govt official...

He is one of the most firm and clearly disapproving voices against the core RELIGION FOUNDATION OF ISLAM....THE KORAN....

He has made this documentary style film to show...his view.. which is a more amplified view in favor of the " War on Terror "....

He has made personal comments.. on this subject.. speaking against the Muslims societies in the world, the muslims residing in Europe and the Netherlands, and the state of the " war on terror" in the Muslim Lands...

THe video is very " controversial" as it presents as ISLAM as being illegitimate and primitive...

It is series of video clips.... showing muslims in involved in politically hostile situations which makes them look villainous....

The extended clips are on you tube separately....

The Film,,. is one of the few that you tube, and other video sites have considered or have actually banned ... in fear of further penalties....

I am putting the links to the video here and links to some interviews given by the
film maker politician....

---------------

This video is significant not because of the content... but because it has raised theissue of censorship again.... regarding discussion... of sensitive material...

such as ISLAM and "War on Terror"....

I was surprised to hear that the internet video sites are in talks with officials to censor the video....

The government of Indonesia... has stated that they will ban Access to You tube if it is not removed....

Celibate Supermodel....

I recently read a headline in a web article that:

International Fashion Model and Victoria Secret Icon, Adriana Lima, has disclosed that she is a VIRGIN.....and will remain so until she is " married"...

Meaning that she has never " gone the bases" with any of her past celebrity " boyfriends" .

I found this a sensational, unthinkable, surprise.

Adriana Lima, 26 year old model from Brazil, made her fame in the American media with the typicaal image of allure in American mainstream..

Such an image is the very opposite of the character she has announced.

Besides her fame through supermodelling advertisements... she increased her celebrity status... by " dating" American celebraties.. who also assiciate with an image that as far as possible from celibate...

She has been quoted as saying:

"Sex is for after marriage. Men have to respect that this is my choice. If there's no respect that means they don't want me" ~ Adriana



Here Adriana, has smashed the presumed public persona she with her recent announcement...


For those people... who know of Brazil ... through its soccer teams and supermodels only... this disclosure announced by Adriana Lima will also become a prominent element in shaping the image of brazil to the distant observer....

Mountain in the Middle

With a few games left in 2008 regular season... the Houston Rockets have put Dikembe Mutombo in their line up after Yao fell down..

I am writing this article after I just saw another amazing block from Mutombo.

He is now 42 years old... i think he is the leaugues oldest player...

Even at 42.. he was the best( in the 90s and 2000s).. at his trade mark skill... SHOT BLOCKING...


EVen at 42... when he is supposed to play a few mins .. maybe 15 off the bench.. when Yao is tired.. I am conviced that he is still the best at SHOT BLOCKING...

since the rise in the dominance of the guards.. and increase in dunks.. and guards coming all the way to basket... there is much lesser shot blocking in todyas game than compared to the 90s.. game when Mutombo dominated....

But.. even at 42.. Mutombo.. is still the best shot blocking in the league...

When he was at his best in the 90s..... he was the only franchise player on a contending team, the Atlanta Hawks, that led the way with a Defense Game..

All the other Big name players averaged 20 points/. game plus...


On my Rank... He is the best player... Defense Player from the last 3 decades in the NBA .. 80s ,90s, 2000s.

I define a " Defense " Player... as someone who excels with mainly defense... so all 20 plus scorers are not counted... such as Olajuwan, David Robinson, and Shaquille Oneil...

Among those Defense Players... he is the absolute best..

His Atlanta team.. .had him as the big star.. and 4 role players.. and they were contending for the title.. against the Bulls in the 90s...

Every other team.. had a star scorer...

He is also in another class....of special players.. who can be the best player on his team and game... while leading the way with less than 10 points....

Any usual star has to score atleast 16 to have a good game and probably 25 to have a great game...

Mutombo could score 5 points.. get 15 rebounds, and 5 blocks and dominate the game...

THe only other star players who could dominate wiht less than 10 points are...

Jason Kidd..
Ron Artest
Scottie Pippen
John Stockton

Only 5 players in this group from all those who played in the last 20 years...

I am convinced that he can play well until he is 45... and set the NBA record for oldest player ever to play.... and get 20 , 15 , and 10 rebounds in a game...!

"How about some Hardcore "

Whenever I hear some news from young kids.. or the TV about some new big deal rapper...
I just think.. " How much longer... will Rap last"...

I .. .like most of the honest and few good rappers... left in rap.. have to think those qualities that gave Rap its integrity... are gone.. and that Rap...

is new type of Pop Music.. using the gangsta identity of the 90s as a marketing technique to attract.. increasingly demoralized and gullible white kids.. who are eager adn willing to buy the Rap CDS.....

Those who have profited most from the late 90s and 2000s era of Pop Rap.. have done it by design.. by making their singles,, music videos and marketing campaign with intentions of major sales...

Rap.. is the BIG BUISNESS first... with Rap as the surface level... product.....


about 10 rappers in this decade.. have earned the big dollars... meaning

$50 million in career earnings or more...

the list is :

$100 million plus :

1. Sean Combs...P. Diddy

2. Jay Z

3. 50 cent

4. Master P

5. Cash Money Boys


$50 million plus :

6. Dr Dre

7. Ice Cube

8. Wyclef jean

9. Marshall Mathers

10 Jermaine Dupri

Fair and Lovely... Lara Dutta... ?

I first saw Lara Dutta.. on an Indian TV station a few years ago and had no idea who she is , her claim to fame , or what sort of Indian she is .


My first thought was ... why is her first name Lara... is she mixed as an anglo indian or is she christian...? that was my first thought...


Later... I foudn that she was an aspiring hindi film actor.. and that her claim to fame was winning a Miss Universe pageant representing India....and naturally that ensured her a role in a hindi movie.

She was part of the new generation of hindi stars ... reprenting the new brand of " JISM " movies.. of the new modern Vijay Mallya endorsed " progressive " India.

I assumed , just as the girls of yesteryear, that should would be of the character of her generation in the bollywood community...

However the next time i noticed her,,, I realized that she was not ...

The next time she entered my attention was.. when I was watching a baseball game .. on american TV.. and saw the commentator listing all the girls that New York Yankeess baseball player, Derek Jeterm, had dated. The list included many american celebs, and eventually Lara Dutta.

I was schocked to hear that an Indian girl... even of the bollywood persuasion would have made Derek Jeters list.

Derek Jeter, is Black - white Interacial American.
In America, despite being interacial officially... he is culturally all Black..

So Lara Dutta was dated a Black man....!!!!!

That is the first thought that any average indian cine fan would have had.. whether living in india or the west.


I dont live in India, so I dont what her cinema community think... but I must assume that she is considered bold for doing so....

Even in america...supposedly the most advanced country in overcoming "racism" towards Black,.... any famous Black - White pairing recieves another class of media and public attention. In the media, It will be an unspoken exclamation as any explicit statements may suggest " racism"...

There are just a handfull of Black celebs in american culture.. and all of them half black partners....For some reason If a black man takes a spanish latino partner.. the same exclamtaion for having a white partner does not result... This is becuase... despite having a closer racial and physical likeness to white people... latinos are considered clearly Un White.. adn hence comparable to blacks....


Will Smith, Denzel Washington, Samuel L Jackson, --- from films

Micheal Jordan, Shaquille O Neil, Barry Bonds, -- sports...

The same Derek Jeter... has not dated many " white" celebs... his list includes... many spanish models.. , black models., mariah carey,, and now lara dutta, an Indian.


Lara Dutta.. regardless of how "progresive " she might be... is still of community... the cine world.. the controls her career.. a world of image and where ur career is ur image to the fans, and film community...

She is more than bold.. in partnering with Derek Jeter .. despite how enticing his offer is... $20 million./ yr... famous... and desirable...


I did say "dated".. meaning past tense.. as it has ended.... few years ago...

From Derek Jeter, an American Black man,, she moved to

Kelley dhorjee, a Bhuran Descent fashion model in India...

When i first heard Kelleys name.. I thought.. another weird name... and only recently i found that he is of Bhutan descent..

For those who dont know... Bhutan is a country just north of india.. that shares a lot of cultural traits with India.. but differs in appearance as the Bhutan people appear to the crude eye... " chinese looking "....and ofcourse are not.. they are more crudely refered to as : "brown people"...

Again Lara Dutta.. broke the conventional boundaries even for her generation of modern progressive JISM girls, and chose Kelley... the " chinese looking guy"


So far the unmentioned significance behind this article is that Lara Dutta, has the physcial traits of a Miss Universe among Indians... These traits are so rare among the population that... she will be encourage by the culture to value them... as it is considered both rare, valuable, and good looking...

So she is likely , by social encouragement, to de value those physiques that are not considered good looking.... by either the INdian filmi standard or the American standard.. which is the 2 guys she chose....

the Black Guy and the Chinese Looking Guy...

MOst interesting.. that there is such a person as Lara Dutta... !

The Doctorate.... Phil

I have been wathching the Dr Phil Show lately... and noticed.. that:

Although he is qualied as pyschologist.. with a PHD... giving himself the title of Dr.... It appears to me that he is just giving his guests...solutions to major problems in his life with common good sense... whihc in any sound culture is built on..


His guests, usually chosen from the " decent" elements of the society.. meaning that they are not ignorant enough to appear on the ricki lake, maury povich or montell Williams show... are far away from the cultural ideal of the innocent America of the 1960s.. which was just few decade.

The class of people who are endless in quantity.. to keep the show running... as I mentioned are above the repulsive and overwhelming ignorant nature of the other shows I mentioned.... this class is till far removed from.. than the santified and world advertiseed description of America..which features:

apple pies, baseball, Christmas trees... and etc....

So if the Decent people have fallen ... what do u call the sizey amount of those who are far beneath them...?

Dr Phil is aimed at a decent audience.. just a step beneath Oprah...

Is this class the real... "average American"

Despite how freigtening the demoralized nature of the guests are... Dr Phils Nature matches that of the traditional ideal of integrity.. which seems to signify that.. what was the average american.. in the 1960s.. is only preserved as an rarity.. an elite remnant in todays society...perhaps only capable of being prserved throught PHds level of educational preparation...

The Straight and Narrow..

Since Ahmadinejad, President of Iran , started receiveing top priority in American news , filling in the role as the next top villain in the " War on Terror"... It has been interesting to note how his media profile has been developed.

The most notable that stands out to me .. is the recurring quote that never leaves that everyone American journalist mentions when summarizing him....

" there are no Gays in Iran " ~ ahmadinejad

Such a statement in the American progressive modern culture of sensitivity is enough enough to discredit any reputable public figure.

Even those American figures who are sincerely repulsed by the concept of Gays... who make an impulse comment that expose their true bias.. will eventually apologise in American fashion to maintain their respective stature..

Here the same type attack and technique is being used by the american media to villify ahmadinejad to the otherwise un informed public.. to convince the public that .... hes the next BAD GUY america needs to stop...

the suggestion is :

If he hates Gays,,, and he is A muslims... and they are right next door to the other " terrorists:.....he must likely be a terrorist himself ... or just a BAAAAD guy...so us Americans need to put a stop to him...


This technique in the media is really exposing how powerful... the propanda machine of the "War on Terror" really is... which was launced in 2001...

Petty propoganda like this is enough to arm the Govt of America with additional public sentiment and favor to plunder another muslim country.....


Americans ... for the most part.. from all classes.. from doctors, lawyers.. to plumbers and truck drivers... have no independent access to the culure and political background of the Muslim Middle East and have to rely on the media .. to make their mind...

THe media has been in completely successfull in preventing the public from have any thing close to credbile understanding the to the background to the reality of the Muslim Middle East.

ahmadinejad has made himself accessible to more rich discussion about all relevant topics that any other " questionable " head of state... invovled in the Muslim region.

All the points of information he has given to the westerdn audience to inform them of the reality has been ignored by the media... and he is still reduced to being identified by villyfyin quotes like this one...

This just serves to make him and the entire muslim world appear ignorant and beneath the standard of " development" of the " west".
