TOY STORY 3!!!!!

WAS SO GOOD. I loved it. The plot was so sweet and really takes you for a ride. The screenplay is by Lee Unkrich, the same guy who wrote Little Miss Sunshine (another favorite of mine) and got an Oscar for it. I feel like Toy Story 3 is going to go down the same path! Real talk, go see it!

Adventure Time!

I HATE CARTOONS but I'm slowly becoming hooked on ADVENTURE TIME. It takes surrealism to a whole 'nother level and the humor is so simple --- I love it!

MY FRIEND RYAN DREW THIS FOR ME. FOLLOW HIM ON TWITTER (@RWMEAD)

And make sure you catch Adventure Time on Cartoon Network Mondays at 8. MATHEMATICAL!!!

Awkward Comedy Show!!!

YOURS TRULY had the chance to go to THE AWKWARD COMEDY SHOW DVD release show and party on Monday night at Comix in NYC with my friend Sam. She was sweet enough to photograph my giddy fan-girl antics with these incredible Comedians/ Awesome people. They were great. And the legendary Prince Paul was there!!!

Seriously. Go Get a copy of THE AWKWARD COMEDY SHOW on DVD NOW!

Hit Girl Kicks Ass!

JUST SAW KICK ASS in the movie theater and I really loved it.  But apparently there is a lot of controversy surrounding the tough- as- nails character that is Hit Girl. Some people are all up in arms because she's a little girl with a pretty severe potty mouth and she goes around brutally killing all the bad guys; shooting and stabbing-- in one part she cuts a dude's leg clean off.  I mean blood everywhere! --- she's awesome.


I think these people are just mad that the real hero in this movie is a Girl. She's a straight up gangsta in my opinion. And I LOVE it!


Go see Kick Ass!!

Black Nerds: A Movement in Comedy

GONE ARE THE DAYS (hopefully) in which Black comedians are limited to talking exclusively about the Black experience in terms of ghetto childhood, jabs about Church, gratuitous sex jokes, Weed stories and all things that make White people uncomfortable to laugh at. (injected with a bunch of 'nigga's)

Sometimes its funny, but still, a lot of the time Black comedy means that this foolishness is all you're gonna get. Up until now, I feel like Dave Chappelle is the only Black comedian who has been able to have a universal appeal while still maintaining integrity in his material (not shuckin' & jivin' for the sale of a demographic.) 

I'm not saying all Black comedians use contrived stereotype behavior just for laughs. I don't even take it that seriously; they're just jokes.

I'm just saying I really appreciate this new exposure for the dorky Black comedians that are actually funny-- oh yes they exist. What I'm getting at is that The Awkward Comedy Show is awesomely clever and I love it. The lineup consists of Marina Franklin, Baron Vaughn, Eric André, Hannibal Buress (who writes for SNL!) and Victor Varnado.  And all of them are great in their unconventional individuality. 

With this genre known as 'Alternative Black Comedy', they add dimension to the Black persona in media and it's simple humor; no one gets hurt and everyone can laugh. 

Check out the website and go get this DVD!

Reflection Eternal ft Bun B- Strangers

I WAS UNDER the impression that Kweli had fallen off after the Idle Warship Party Robot album had dropped. I'm glad he's proving me wrong, because his verse right here is Hot Sauce!

And I absolutely cannot deny Bun B. over the right beat (see Termanology ft. Bun B.- This is How We Rock)

Wayne Brady was Right.

EVERY MORNING I wake up, I don't necessarily get out my smiley face cup; but as I reluctantly get ready for school or work, I make myself a cup of coffee and then add unholy amounts of this stuff right here.

It's freaking delicious. And it makes the yucky, mundane, gray, existential nightmarish timeline of my life a little bit more bearable. 

I encourage everyone who reads this to find something you kind of love, and just inject it into this carousel of tedium we call life. 

Seriously, I'm running on an I/V drip of International Delight coffee creamer.

The Lovely Bones Movie Comes out Jan. 15th!

TWO QUALMS: I don't like they've casted this Menudo member lookin boy to play Ray Singh. He's supposed to be Indian. Is that a perm?I don't get it.

Also, why is Markie Mark playing Susie's father? He looks like he just walked over from the set of 'Invincible' OR 'Boogie Nights' and just never left (What is with him and 70's movies?)

Besides all that, I'm really anticipating this movie (Jan. 15) because I loved the book and I am one of those people who reads and then watches film adaptations with a discerning eye.
