Chris Rock's Good Hair Promo



Guud Huur, Baad Huur, that's some funny sh*t right thuur. This is a movie of epic proportions! The long standing... let's see right word needed here, hmm, debate or debacle or debasing, aha, got it, All of the above! The argument and the belief of some sort of "hair superiority" is something that has diseased the black community probably since slavery. The question of adopting silky, shiny, lengthy tresses as opposed to embracing the beautiful, bouncy, blackness and all the glorious textures in between, rages on. This time on the big screen, Oh My Curly wooly-headed Jesus! White friends don't even show up at your local cineplex on this opening day (I joke), because the weave will be wagging, hot combs will be high heat and the kitchen will be cooking! Black folks come prepared for the dirty laundry (and hair) to be aired out. This film is rated: FDLS for fried, died and laid to the side (White friends ask Bernadette in accounts receivable what that means... use your friendly voice). https://sites.google.com/site/mayuradocs/PinIt.png

i was sort of under the impression that this wasn't going to be a comedy...this clip changes the perception i had of the movie (i'm reminded of a recent Womanist Musings post: http://www.womanist-musings.com/2009/07/black-hair-in-advertising.html

other than that, i can't offer up any opinion on this.

HIlarious! Ironically this Friday we'll be talking about a related, ultra-taboo topic-- Light vs. Dark skin: Colorism in our community. (Yes, I made that word up. Creative people tend to do that a lot.)Heads will turn, Necks will roll, so join me if you dare! www.3DegreesTalkShow.com; 10AM

FG, I think it is a comedi-mentry or a docu-omedy... (I fail so sweetly) or one of those hollywood hybrid words for genre mashing.

SS, Sounds like another movie we can make together, you down for it? I can be the best boy.
