scfi, blaxplotatian, comedy
(Damn near forgot about this movie)



​

EDIT 2:

shyt is quite nice, everything I wanted and more!​

EDIT:

Speaking of "blaxplotatian" .....I'm getting "Darktown Strutters"(1975) vibes with the plot points about putting stuff in black folks food​

I've been hearing about the government cloning people for a couple years now.
And all of what's going on with Jamie Foxx as of recently, this isn't no coincidence.

I made a thread on this a long time ago.

Money Be Green: The Movie (John Boyega, Jamie Foxx, Teyonah Parris - Netflix)

Seems like they may have re-tooled this.
This is a better trailer than the first one.
The first one was a bunch of stereotypical "Black talk" and unnecessary cursing.

I wanna see this bad

Brehs on here talk about they sick of slavery movies.

I'm sick of movies with these tired ass ghetto tropes - a hustler, pimp, and pro - gtfoh.

I understand it's neo-blaxploitation. We don't need more blaxploitation in 2023. Everything already is from the culture, to music, and entertainment.

whats obvious is that they can't have Foxx out promoting it.

looks like one of those films people are gonna want to force you to like because "it's different" but it's still actually bad

also needs more light skin people, stop erasing us!

Dahell are you talking about?

Black movies haven't used these tropes regularly in about 2 decades

If anything, we've seen more representation of nerdy/suburban black folks more than pimps.

They literally used those descriptors in the trailer.

 

[MischievousMonkey]

Long time no see OP

 

[DripSzn]

They literally used those descriptors in the trailer.

So? It's literally an homage to the blaxploitation genre, like Black Dynamite.

Does respectability politics mean these tropes should be banished forever or something?

Day ONE can’t wait

I made a thread on this a long time ago.

Money Be Green: The Movie (John Boyega, Jamie Foxx, Teyonah Parris - Netflix)

Seems like they may have re-tooled this.
Apparently, John Boyega doesn't want to be associated with this anymore.
This is a better trailer than the first one.
The first one was a bunch of stereotypical "Black talk" and unnecessary cursing.

Boyega is promoting the movie across all his social media

Boyega is promoting the movie across all his social media

I stand corrected.
I rewatched and I must've blinked when his name was onscreen.
