Why is cinema so obsessed with white dudes with a guitar instead of powerful Black women?
Why is cinema so obsessed with white dudes with a guitar instead of powerful Black women?
Black people never accept people who come from white dads as Black , well about half of black women do but 99% of black people see them as white
The one drop rules doesn't apply to people who's mothers are black
That’s more of a Anon Babble question
doubling down on the diversity woke initiatives is a bold move after getting your ass handed to you in 2024 due to it
Then again these were black girls who actually had musical ability which is not Cardi B.
He thinks Kamala lost because of Diversity
Kamala lost because she's a woman, Hillary lost too
They should have picked another le epin charismatic centrist black guy like Obama
Or Bernie
while we're on that subject neither Obama or Biden wanted Harris to be the Democrat candidate, they perfectly well knew she was Walter Mondale in a skirt
I agree but these movies aren't made to be about music, they're made as a political statement.
Who will they cast as Phil in the Ronettes movie?
Why not make ones about James Brown or Stevie Wonders? Or Boyz II Men? Or Run DMC? Or Prince? Or the Chicago House Scene
Biggest problem with these girls is that they are mainly known for being molested by the guy who's the one who left a mark in the music industry
They made one for James Brown with the guy from Black Panther as James
Or Prince?
That one was already made but not released after his family blocked it
they're black of course but that's not good enough in of itself they need to be black women for max diversity points
But black women are trash
political statement
no, they're made for money, you dumb honky. as it turns out, there's a lot of african americans who like old music, and would probably see this movie.
Can't I enjoy both?
A lot of black women artists who aren't basically White women with Black mothers
Problem with these girls is that they are as Black as a Hapa girl with a 100 BWC bodycount is asian
Black people don't care about them and White people prefer not to talk about them given the Rape and Grooming aspects of Phil
then why did Biden picked her as VP and said he would only do one term?
2021 Respect (Aretha Franklin)
2021 The United States vs. Billie Holiday
2022 Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody
all huge flops
People really do hate black women...
Zendaya again
Zendaya is the biggest payop currently. Ugly and can't act but lauded as the most beautiful actress in the world.
I mean
We literally had one of the biggest UK stars in history's documentary flop
I don't think his look alike would have done well either
At this point only a very select few like Freddie Mercury, Kurt Cobain, Eminem and a few 90s rappers and The Beatles have the ability to have Box Office hits from a Documentary
absolutely no one gives a shit about the Ronettes or Sister Rosetta Tharpe (??), or Lizzo for that matter
This. Black guys are extremely insecure about WMBF. See how blacks don't consider Meagan Markle black. She committed the ultimate sin of having a White father and marrying a White man.
If she was a half Black guy with a Black father marrying a White woman they would love [him]. Never underestimate the pettiness and fragility of blackcels.
Well Ridley Scott made his Napoleon biopic all about Josephine so I can see Hollywood making a Phil Spector biopic about Ronnie Spector.
Actually I am not even sure if Cobain or Tupac could cross the 300M Box Office range
Sure they are bigger than NWA and more relevant than Elvis but you get the point
Except for Straight Outta Compton all of these movies are targeted towards boomers. The world will be dominated by boomer tastes for at least another 20 years. They have all the wealth.
This is exactly what will happen. It will be a confusing mess trying to capture all of different social messages (civil rights, woman abuse, greed, etc.).
The reason Bohemian Rhapsody scored that much is because queen has so much more global appeal than any of the other artists here. Take for example, India.
the Tupac biopic was released in 2017 and flopped (trashed by critics)
Meet Me At The Bathroom didn't get that much attention
Except for Straight Outta Compton all of these movies are targeted towards boomers. The world will be dominated by boomer tastes for at least another 20 years. They have all the wealth.
wut?
Is Lizzo playing all three?
I mean, the Brian Wilson biopic was a flop.
no one cares about Queen in India but you're right about their global appeal, the movie made 24% of its money in the US vs 52% for Elvis, 80% for NWA, 64% for Johnny Cash
80 for NWA
Kind of brutal when you remember that Country is extremely niche outside of Southern States, nevermind outside of America yet Johnny Performed better
Then again they demonised the one guy with the crossover appeal(Eazy) so Cube and Dre deserve to flop
Johnny Cash is an exception, he's the one country artist who had significant success overseas (northern Europe mostly), Coal Miner's Daughter wasn't even released in Europe at the time:
Coal Miner's Daughter (1980) $275m inflation-adjusted
Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) $261m
Straight Outta Compton (2015) $210m
Walk the Line (2005) $205m
Amadeus (1984) $170m
Elvis (2022) $158m
La Bamba (1987) $152m
Ray (2004) $133m
Rocketman (2019) $116m
I Can Only Imagine (2018) $104m (about some christian rock band lol)
How many Jewish dicks do you think Zendaya sucked to get a lead role in almost every movie releasing this year?
Seriously though, why is Zandaya and that midget boyfriend of hers in every single movie nowadays? What’s happening with Hollywood? Are they the only two actors willing to suck executive cocks?
