Wesley Snipes will spend the next three years figuring out where he went wrong. Combing through his mind making attempts to make sense of it all. From freedom his whole life, to now having to utilize his trained mind and body in martial arts. What else can he add to that that will allow him to make sense of the time he is about to serve?Whatever it may be, he has my vote to come back bigger and badder.
So my advice to Mr. Snipes, is work out, and use your martial art skills to your advantage. Thank you for all of you movies and I will continue to support so that you wife and kids eat well while you are on vacation.
I was wandering the web and I came across the we-need-to-stop blog and the topic of an all black model cast in an up coming issue of Vogue may be in the works. I have a few questions, but mainly I have a thought behind the idea that will put the concept into a political light.
Are the rumors true? Am I reading correct on this? If the rumors serve me correctly, it sounds like there may be an all black model issue of Vogue Italia in the works.
This is something that many of us here in the united states could not imagine. We still live in a country where the image of beauty is still respected in one shade and in no other. However if Italy's top photographer persist to pull this off, it will be a major step for race relations across the board.
Although I am a male I will take the time out to buy a copy. For years I have told my friends that they can look at all shades and races and find beauty in all of them if they seek. No matter the race of the person or the complexion it is about the facial makeup up. Once this is perceived in this way, beauty will be found in all no matter the hue of ones skin tone.
This just in from a source:
Steven Meisel has just shot an entire issue of Vogue Italia with all black models, hoping that other issues of Vogue start to diversify their own portfolios.
Apparently, all of the photo shoots have already happened, as model bookers at various agencies have been contacted and sourced for new, beautiful, not-white girls -- and now they're twittering about how cool the issue will be.
No word on when the issue will hit stands or who's on the cover (Jourdan Dunn? Chanel Iman?), but whatever:
We don't really report the news over here. We just break it wide open.
It is a tragedy to see that all that man has come to see over the past years, here in these united states has remained the same and nothing has manged to change from the past. All that has is that pseudo unity that has infiltrated the minds of the people. I myself can tell you first hand that the American world has a long way to go when it come to racial equality.
Here are some thoughts on the recent verdict that was handed down to the lethal officers. Before you read I want everyone to know that these dogs will have there day. For the heavens do not let you off that easily.
Sean Bell may have gone unnoticed but will not be forgotten in the movement of true racial equality in American life.
Celebrities speak out about the horrific Sean Bell verdict:
Ice Cube: “This is just another example that the justice system in America views a black life as worthless.”
Chamillionaire:“It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that shooting an innocent, unarmed man 50-plus times is an excessive use of force,It scares me to know what type of power is given to people who are supposed to be protecting us from harm.”
UGK’s Bun B: “The verdict is almost as tragic as the incident.”
DJ Drama: “To wake up and see that — as much as things change, the more they stay the same. Anybody with a voice, you gotta use your voice and speak on it when you see injustice. That’s what I think it is: injustice.”
With all of the buzz surrounding this you would think that they would have held out a bit longer. I was getting quite used to the speculation on their marriage. It was becoming good for my creativity.
It is confirmed by people magazine and according to them they filed for their wedding license on Friday in Scarsdale New York.
Foxy brown has been released from Rikers Island Prison in New York on Friday Morning from her 1 year sentence, in which she has been released just after serving only 8 months, as reported by the LA TIMES.
The rapper who suffered from many ailments not limited to hearing loss, has had a string of issues that led up to her imprisonment. This caused a major deficit in her music production efforts. Something that many artist in the rap industry can attest to. However she has made a point of talking to God on, in which the rapper, stated, "The first place I want to go is church. I've got to get on my knees," said Brown. The Rapper got herself together and joined the floor in creating a foundation to those who seek it in prayer.
The rapper who is reigned as Lil Kim's nemesis in the female Gangter-raunch rap show, may be ready to turn over a new leaf much like her tiny lyrical enemy and how the pussycat dolls. As long as she does not go the route of plastics surgery.
Anyway I am happy, and perhaps she can get in the studio and remix her album to regain her name status. Being that she is one of the best female rappers out there, the time has come for her to focus on her career and bring it back the the level she did with her third album. The lyrics on this current album are tight, however it is missing that element that makes a rap song last and that is the personal touch of a confident persona.
Dear Inga,
Welcome home and hit the studio remix the some of the tracks on the album and release a mixtape containing the new tracks. This will put your tour money in the position that it needs to be in. So that your career can take off again.
Best Thoughts,
Enterpolics
P.S.
What do you think about this? Let me know if you come across this.
P.s.s.
If any of you out there think this makes sense let me know.
So the word is out and Snoop Dogg may be one to beat. He does not go down without a fight. Apparently the British did not know who they were messing with.
The British Government made an attempt to ban the rapper due to an altercation at Heathrow airport. After viewing footage of the incident, an immigration judge has decided to overturn the choice to keep him out of the the country, as reported by the timesonline. Which decided to give you a brief rap sheet on the rapper in the first sentence of the article. Damn the UK is pissed about something.
Any way...
The original decision was based on a rushed process of keeping the rapper out of the country, where officers involved received the benefit of the doubt without thorough review of the situation. So this led to the rapper being band. However what has now come to the surface is a tape showing that the officers agitated the situation by shoving the rapper and snoop not retaliating in no way at all.
Come to think about it, if he retaliated there would have been more about this story than we have been reading in the past few months. So what we have here is a case of British Airways Discrimination and local police bias, that caused an international taste deficit in the mouths of those who once coveted the UK and the Airline that gets you there.
Who knew that the British Airways would hate this way? Do they have hate? If they do why is this the case and should Americans continue to patronize this airline.
Well from Snoops Lawyer Phillip Trott point of observation, he feels, " It has been an appalling waste of public money to pursue this man. It is outrageous that the government is trying to exclude someone who is an innocent figure and has frequently spoken against gang culture and youths carrying guns."
Well well then!
The government agency who pressed this charge has until next Wednesday to decide whether to appeal. A spokesperson stated that any comments at this time would be inappropriate.
Where do I begin with this film? That is a tough one for me being that this film has many great features in film making as well as a subtle drive that takes you deep into the world of the characters. Carry with it a deep portrayal of what it is to be human and to seek beyond the dish that was served to you cold.
I was watching this film about three years ago and I was able to grab its essence right away and it still sticks with me until this day. Levity staring Morgan Freeman, Billy Bob Thornton, Kirsten Dunst, and Holly Hunter is that rear classic that has gone unnoticed but has been archived in the minds of movie enthusiast for the latter part of the decade.
If redemption film making is your poison then you do not have to look any further than Levity. A man in search of that act or act(s), that will allow him to redeem what is left of him from one fatal mistake that he has made in his life. A mistake that has charged him and imprisoned him far beyond the letter of the law.
As long as you are able to find Levity in life's harsh conditions and circumstances you are able to make the future brighter and can make up for you mistakes if you so will.
The deep morals and underlying reconciliation involved with a man and his soul is plastered all over this film. I recommend that you do go over to you local video store or grab is from your online vendor of choice. This is a not to be missed film and if you have seen it, then see it again, just make sure that you are in good spirits when you do.
Linday Lohan, there is much we need to know about you. Word is she has been hanging out in NYC and she has been hitting the bottle with no redemption. At some place called the Beatrice Inn! Is it true? If it is this is what I have to say.
Are you on the wagon again or are you off the wagon and off the trail? I do not know at this point what to think. Heck she has been drinking for some time now, and I do not see her stopping at this point.
With all that is on her plate and much press driving her career in the direction of bottom row. You would think she would take the time out to cut back on the partying but no, she has to be out with all the famous people to get her face out there. She does not have the ability to sit still long enough for her body to clear of the bad fluids, such as vodka.
With a buddy like Samantha Ronson; trailing behind you most of the way, and an acquaintance in the better half of the Olsen twins you would almost be guaranteed a good time out on the town. So what should we expect from her? I said it before and I will say it again. Lindsay needs some serious time off and I do not care if this is a one time thing with her. I don't care if she does this only on the weekends, or once a month. No drinks for an entire year!
We will see if she takes me up on my dare. Since she likes taking risk, lets see if she can look in the mirror at her self for the next year with out being under a haze.
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
On my triumphant return to the blogosphere I needed to bring you something that would take you to the next stage of movie going. Something that was of major importance to those who would take the time out to see it. In this case it would be again, if you have not seen the theater release.
So what is the movie, well you would not be here if it were not for the flashing movie to consider sign. Now would you? Kingdom of Heaven is the film that needs a thorough looking at. Several times you have that much available on your time piece.
This film is a brief look into the history of the Catholic church and it founding strengths. I am not one against the current catholic church, however there were some things that took place that need addressing. Questions that were brought up in Holy Blood Holy Grail, Davinci Code, Angels and Demons, and all the other great works out there that gave us the glimpse into possibility.
This film gives you the questions, the answers will come from your determination to know the truth. What took place is not the fault of God, nor at the hands of God, it has been done in the name of God without his permission. What was done during the crusades is no different than what has taken place in the past decades. It is man taking his religion to take him to war. When no matter the belief system created in the text, man has found a way to go to war in the name of God. But turn out spoils of war for their own pockets.
The day will come that man will have to answer to God, and I am almost certain the questions will come up with God Asking, What have you done in my name, and what was your goal in doing so. I hope that man with his arrogance dose not seek to answer that questions without honesty. However knowing our species we make attempts to talk our way out of everything.
No matter my opinion about this movies historical value and nature. It is still entertainment, I just see it as a window to questions that we all share. Who is God, and what does he want us to do?
Now I know with the pope in town(US) there is a big seal of Catholic Approval taking place, but I need for some to sit down and ask. When is the Vatican going to tell us the truth? If there is tons of information that we need to know it should be allowed the people. The Christian population loves God and Christ, however those who do not have that relationship yet, are seeking, but afraid because they have such questions. Being that the Catholic church allegedly has all this information, it is high time that they allow followers a more thorough look. We have become more discerning than our ancestors so being able to pull the wool over our eyes is soon going to be a failure.
This film is pure entertainment from beginning to end and you do not walk away feeling empty. With Orlando Bloom, you can not go wrong, now can you? So grab it this weekend and enjoy, I am sure that you will thank me.
Guys I am closer to the comeback than I thought. I will not be able to make things happen that I did not see possible for the next few weeks or so. So the trail has begun to open up my path, and that is a path that I will take in order to insure a better future for Entertainment and those who love what is produced and are curious about what is done to make it happen.
I hope that this brief technological slow down on my part did not ruin my readership. However if it did I will make that comeback that is much needed to bring things back up to par.
With these last few post you were aware of this issue and I want to thank those who continue to stop by and push me towards my goal of becoming a blogger of choice. I thank you for all that you have done so far. Especially to my fans over at invisible cinema and intrepid ideas. It is a pleasure to have come across those blogs, that show integrity at ever turn.
I hope to continue bringing integrity and honor to the blogosphere. Bringing a realism along with my brand of humor is my mission of Enterpolics and I hope that I am able to make this a home to many and that I can grow with you all as I take this journey in writing.
So beginning tomorrow you can begin to expect that consistency from me that you have grown to love.
JOHN ROCKINS UNIVERSITY has been brought into existence do to a silent demand for representation. A representation in the media of Ethnic American Films, music, books, and plays. Although this blog is not singular in a focus solely on Ethnic American art, it allows the reader to see that it fits into a full spectrum of works, across the entire industry.
With the exposure JRU's hopes to be a piece of a large pie. An integral part that can be shared at all tables involved and with all who take an interest in the art of our modern day as well as past, and leaping towards a greater future.
No longer should Americans or the America we love, have a split down the center. If in art that continues it will forever bring out the underlying mistrust, and misunderstanding that we face in reality.
I hope to bring all races together with this blog and to bring about a change within our work in the media as well as the art forms of entertainment that we love.
