During my conversation with Ted Witcher last week, he mentioned that a producer was interested in doing a remake of Love Jones, and he actually was in the process of negotiating the terms. He didn’t tell me exactly who, though, but a bit of investigative journalism on my part learned that it was actually Tyler Perry. Yup, you read that correctly: Tyler Perry is doing a remake of Love Jones.
A bit more investigating allowed me to get my hands on a draft of the screenplay. To Perry’s credit, he did attempt to stay true to the original version. The plot largely remains the same, and, although R-rated movies aren’t really Perry’s thing, the movie contains just as much adult dialogue and content as the original. But, as you probably imagined, the remake definitely has his fingerprints on it, and Perry struggles with the nuances present in the original movie’s sexual content.
Due to copyright laws, I can only post one scene, but it should give you a pretty good indication of the entire product.
Opening Scene:
Setting: “The Mortuary” — a popular hair salon/male strip club in Atlanta, Georgia.
As Walter Hawkins’ version of “Goin’ Up Yonder” plays in the backdrop, the camera pans over the highly engaged and eclectic crowd. Peach Snapple, an blaxican male stripper who vaguely resembles a much happier Scottie Pippen, dances on stage while the women sitting in the salon chairs — many of whom still have curlers in their hair — sway to the rhythmic claps of Peach Snapple’s muscular man booty.
The camera then settles on a table of four men — superstar stripper/aspiring choreographer “Rank “The Wrangler” Whittaker” (played by Chris Brown in a dreadlocks wig), astronaut “J.R. Chapman” (Micheal Jai White), professional baseball player “Vaseline Williams” (Baltimore Raven’s linebacker Ray Lewis, in his first major motion picture role), and strip club DJ and MC “Plier Terry” (Tyler Perry) — and 0ne woman — Mortuary owner “Julie Watson” (Raven Simone, in a role that’s sure to get Oscar buzz).
As the friends sip lattes, smoke weed, and have a conversation that no person on Earth has ever had, Rank gets up and walks to the bar, seemingly deep in thought. Megachurch choir director/aspiring orchestra conductor “Iesha Canty” (Rihanna. Yes, that Rihanna.) is already at the bar, and notices the pensive Rank.
“What’s on your mind?”
“Just…thinking about some ass.”
“That must have been some very special ass.”
“Yeah. It was.”
While this is going on, the camera pans back to the table, and we watch them watching Rank and Iesha.
“I know she aint gonna fall for that sh*tty stripper game” says Vaseline, who’s obviously the “player” in the crew.
Piler, who we sense is the ultra-masculine voice of reason in this circle, replies “Whatever, man. You need to forget about that stuff with your uncle and get back to church. It’s time that you forgave that man for what he did to you. 17 years of not seeing any women will do that to any brother. Anyway, excuse me while I help my boy do his thing”
Piler gets up, and walks to the stage.
“Ladies, gentleman, and ladies with gentleman parts, you’re in for a treat. Welcome to the stage, my boy, Atlanta’s own, The Wrangler!!!”
As Rank swaggers on stage — dressed exactly how you’d imagine a male stripper named “Wrangler” to be dressed — the camera pans on Iesha, whose surprised expression lets the audience know that she definitely didn’t know that Rank was the featured stripper. Sitting next to Iesha is her homegirl, Vicky Ortiz (Loretta Devine, in a very peculiar casting choice).
Before Rank starts dancing, he grabs the microphone and says “This next song and dance is dedicated to a very, very special lady.”
Rank puts the microphone down, goes to the middle of the stage, and puts his head down as the lights dim and the anticipation builds. The music starts, and Rank shifts into full “Wrangler” mode; popping and doing other things that male strippers probably do in strip clubs and maximum security prison cafeterias.
The camera pans on Iesha, as she recognizes this song as familiar, but can’t quite place the name of it. Then, it hits her.
It’s “Iesha” by Another Bad Creation — proof that Rank has dedicated this dance to her.
This realization hits Iesha like a bag of bricks. Equal parts flattered, embarrassed, and aroused, Iesha watches mouth agape as Rank repeatedly thrusts his manhood in her direction, producing shrieks and screams from both the crowd and the hair-dressers.
Later that evening, while Rank and his friends are hanging out outside of the club, Iesha and Vicky approach them.
“That was some stunt you pulled.” Iesha flirts to Rank.
“Seemed to get your attention” Rank replies.
“You seem to know a lot about sex and arousing me with your manparts. There’s more to life than that.” Iesha says, as she draws closer to Rank.
“What’s that?” an obviously horny Rank retorts.
Iesha pulls out a pen, and writes her response on Rank’s still sweaty chest.
When finished, she tells the crew good night, and as her and Vicky walk away, the camera pans onto Rank’s chest so we can see what Iesha just wrote.
“Jesus”
End scene.
—The Champ
If I just didn’t get two wisdom teeth pulled earlier this week, I’d be guffawing all over my laptop at this whole scene. LOL @ everything from the casting choices to their names in the movie to Chris Brown stripping to a song that came out probably the same year he was born in to the concept of Tyler Perry supposedly being the most ‘masculine’ man out of any group of men.
By the way, I never saw the first Love Jones so I’m sure I won’t be seeing this one, either.
I hate you and everything you stand for #thatisall
Why you hate me? That sounded kind of harsh.
My first LOL of the morning.
I’m still trying to figure out where the hell that level of hatred comes from.
*Confused*
could be mistaken, but i think she just left that comment in the wrong place. that “hate” was directed at me
Oh, ok. I was finna say….I might not be the most well-received guy on Earth, but I don’t know anyone that flat-out hates me. LOL
I think it was for Champ.
I mean…I hate your comments, but not you baby. It’s that type that be making us wanna break our laptops.
*spits out water
LMAO! It’s good be a FANTASTIC Friday…with comments like these I doubt I’ll get any work done.
@ SFG
You hate my comments? That’s cool. I will keep that in mind…..
Oh, now I’m feeling bad. It was a joke. -_-
No sorry it wasn’t toward you it was for the champ it was a joke… This is the first post that I made ( I am a lurker) and now people think I’m mean again I’m sorry
Ditto
I tried to laugh but all I could do was detest
The Realist Leo, good morning.
As promised, I’ve done my part. It begins here: obsidianraw.bravejournal.com/entry/62171
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to acquire the reading list, follow the instructions, apply yourself dilligently and to transform yourself from an Average Frustrated Chump into Man with purpose, direction and GAME.
Good luck, bruh.
This message will self-destruct in 10 seconds…
O.
@ O. Is TRL ya kin or something? Get off his nuts. wtf is wrong with you. Captain Save’a….
Onto this whole other scenario. TP actually doing this LJ thing. BIG SIGH.
Champ, I truly thought this was a jest….and then I believed you by the end of the blog post….and then I read the comments and questioned yet again the validity only to subsequently focus on your responses and realize that you aren’t bs’ing not even a little.
As of right now, I don’t know what to think. Amazed by the sheer prospect. TP is trying to do it big with his core demographic: Black Women. Just don’t know what to think anymore. I’ll see this in the theaters if it is coming though.
Ah, if it isn’t the Incomprehensible Sage who should be Silent.
I can feel the hate all the way over here…
LOL
O.
Annoyance isn’t the same as hate. Your pestering of TRL annoys me. Stop cyber-bullying dude. This site has a moderator.
You often have the longest post and sometimes longer than the original blog post.
Too many words is confusing for you. So, brevity allows no space for you to confuse yourself with more detail than you can apparently handle.
Have a nice day.
SOS,
What you say is rather odd and ironic, for two major reasons:
1. Because you’re getting your pink knickers all up in a knot over my comment above, which by anyone’s estimation is *very* brief
and
2. You’re all out of joint at my attempting to assist someone who has come to the VSB for help. I note with great interest that among those who did indeed try to assist TRL, YOU were in that number – yet you deign to upbraid me for doing so and stepping up to the plate. Such a psychosocial display is the stuff of tumescence among the Freudian crowd. Hmm.
I mean really SOS, what’s it to you that I’m reaching out to TRL here? Out of more than 300 comments, why are making it your business to address my little ole comment addressed to TRL (and other Brothas like him?). Why does that bother you so very much, hmm? What is up with that?
You tell me.
I’m all ears.
O.
Cool, you speak well. Cool, you did research that COULD help him. But did he ask YOU?
Literally bored with you. Tired of seeing you chase this poor soul around and insult his intelligence. He found the website without you. If he wants to find the books, he can do that too without you. And if he so chooses to live as what you call an “Average frustrated chump”, that again doesn’t give you just cause to relentlessly pursue him.
But to be absolutely clear. I am you. Without the links. Without the relentless pursuit. With the “I care” attitude tattooed on my heart that I wear on my sleeve.
Thats why I’m talking to you. The same reason you talk to him. I am fully aware of the hypocrisy. Judge me, I’m just like…”really? This is how you get down?”
and I read your blog. In shock and awe the entire time.
Oh, and you gonna front on the length of your post like I ain’t see the one below? Bwahahaha
Hello SOS,
To answer your question, no, TRL didn’t ask me, specifically; but it is quite clear from his comments here that he was soliciting advice from the VSB participants. I chose to participate. Why does that bother you so?
Wrt the length of my comments, there have been many, many others who have also posted lengthy comments, yet I have never seen you or anyone else (and that includes the VSB Politburo, I might add) say ANYTHING about that. Why single me out? Is it because of something I said? If so, why not address that?
Third, YOU said NOTHING to or about TRL, until I tossed my hat into the ring; clearly, you have a problem with me. So we can set aside the TRL pretext aside, and get right to it. What’s your beef?
Yes, I am very opionated, and have the full intention of bombarding the place with as many truth bombs as I can muster, because it is long passed due that somebody did. By the way your shrieking, like the proverbial you know what, I think I’ve been doing my job, quite well.
More, please!
O.
Wait? Why are you responding and you’ve never seen the original Love Jones? I feel like this is why everyone’s directing hate towards you? Please check out the movie. I guarantee once you see it and read this script again you will laugh that much harder. LOL
I promise you I’m not the only person in this thread that hasn’t seen Love Jones.
People respond to threads that aren’t targeted toward them all the time. It’s called insight….conversation….a different point of view.
THIS!!…Must become a reality.
It will be the first Tyler Perry movie that I might actually be able to sit through.
It would be the first Tyler Perry movie that would have me seriously considering putting out a hit on Tyler Perry Nancy Kerrigan style…
…okay I’m lying, I’ve thought about this over 4 movies ago
I got 5 on it.
It will be the first Tyler Perry movie that I might actually be able to sit through.
the tentative release date is july 3rd
I thought you were gonna pick a date like February 29th.
Or it might come out on Neverary 32nd.
LOL!
*puts “Neverary 32nd” in back pocket
desecration.. don’t do it!
“desecration.. don’t do it!”
this read like a warning sign you’d find outside of a cemetery
somebody’s about to be buried (ref: Iesha wrote “Jesus” on Rank’s chest)
…is this real life?
I need to know too…this can’t be real!!!!
coming july 3rd
You got jokes this week Champ. I haven’t laughed this hard since yesterday’s post and comments. What’s really funny (or sad) is that I wouldn’t put it past TP to think of such ridiculousness and put it on film.
jokes? what are you talking about?
Um. NO
you look like no. i look like yes
Bwahahaha!
oh wow. lol that was hilarious. she wrote Jesus though? and why ray lewis? lol *dead*
Apparently Ray wants to get into acting when he retires sorta like The Rock (the played college ball together).
if the commercials are any indication.. he needs to go ALL the way to the corner with that idea…
he’s already got his foot in the door with his old spice commercials.
I fell out of the chair when I saw Ray Lewis turned cloned himself. lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYAsAdjTGrw
ever since he didnt go to jail for the two people he stabbed to death, ray lewis has been taking acting classes
why do people still bring that up? i mean the man won a superbowl after that. isn’t that vindication enough? just like ben roethlisberger was almost there. that would have wiped his slate clean.
What’s a little stabbing among friends? #pause
Killa!
So TP thinks its a good idea to have Ri Ri and CB in the same room together?
Yeah, I’m not going to watch this either. By the way, death to everybody in the past who has forced me to watch TP movies starring him. Glitter burns…just ask Ke$ha.
….and I just got that this was not real. You know what? Don’t judge me.
Too late. Judge judge judge. Judge judge judge. j/k
So TP thinks its a good idea to have Ri Ri and CB in the same room together?
personally, i think it’s genius.
I thought CB legally couldn’t be within a certain number of yards of RiRi (as per his parole)
They could use some trick camera angles to get around that restraining order… or maybe hire Industrial Light and Magic to make a digital Chris Brown. It worked for Jeff Bridges in Tron Legacy, there’s no reason why TP couldn’t tap into this CGI treasure trove…
…I think it goes without saying that Tyler Perry’s remake will be in 3D.
Obviously it’s in 3-D…. I think this might be my favorite post =) I almost couldn’t get past Chris Brown “The Wrangler” in a dreadlocked wig…. Cus you know Tyler loves a ridiculous wig on a big buff man lol
This right here! This, is a masterpiece… *tips hat*
That restraining order has been lifted…. they can be in the same vicinity now for award shows and such.
Actually CB just petitioned to change the restraining order so that he could be within her presence ( for attending award shows and such) but can’t harass or be a nuisance to her and Rihanna agreed to allow it the changes. So let’s make this joke movie a reality, lol
She’s gonna lift the restrictions on the restraining order. Bottom line…she still wants him. LOL
So in other words….RiRi still wants CB to blow her back out and beat her head in. lol. I see now….
This sounds like one of those epically bad straight to DVD movies that Panama loves to watch…lol Ray Lewis in his 1st motion picture huh? The creepy Old Spice commercials weren’t enough huh? *snickers*
Sounds like another BET Blackbuster
If this scene was a trailer, who wouldn’t want to see it?
LoL you’re whylin’.
Even people making money off a such a movie wouldn’t want to see it.
“Sounds like another BET Blackbuster”
Sounds like it should be a straight-to-BET movie, LOL
LOL, right? I bet PJ got super excited when he read this before realizing it was a joke.
I’m still mad at Chris Brown’s dreadlocks wig. Why? Because I believe TP would pull one of dem numbers for real lol.
http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/contributor/1800308909/photo/560252
just ruining beautiful man specimens.
Exactly. Cut and Paste Cornrows begets Dreadlocks Lacefront.
“I’m still mad at Chris Brown’s dreadlocks wig. Why? Because I believe TP would pull one of dem numbers for real lol.”
its actually blond dreadlocks too, but i left that part out because people would think it was a joke
Well….he had Boris with the afro wig, Shemar with the dreadlock wig and TP himself wore an afro wig in the family that preys.
Shemar had a “cornrow” wig. Don’t get us all confused here! I laughed at those cornrows for 5 minutes!
I’m sure somewhere in Tyler’s prop shop there is a lacefront dreadlock wig with Shemar’s name on it.
Lace Front + Dreadlock Wig = Flatline
(it also equals another Twitter entry but never you mind that)
I’m pretty sure this is what Champ was speaking of…
http://www.bestwigoutlet.com/Costume-Wigs-Rasta-SP70133.html
Dats so f*ed up, why is shirt gotta be tie-dye?… cause he got dreadlocks? smdh.
You know… it’s good that I’m actually leaving my job voluntarily… cause if I wasn’t, I’d certainly be fired effing around with y’all today
Why YS? Why?
I will kirk the hell out if Ray Ray steps foot on a Tyler Perry set, the 5 headed Armageddon Old-Spice commercial was one thing but the thought of my favorite Raven in co-op with Perrywinkle just makes my head hurt.
*the 5 headed Armageddon Old-Spice commercial was one thing*
Oh hell, this is going on Twitter right now LOL
“the 5 headed Armageddon Old-Spice commercial was one thing but the thought of my favorite Raven in co-op with Perrywinkle just makes my head hurt.”
damn. if that makes your head hurt, imagine how the two people he killed feel. wait, they’re dead, so they can’t feel anything
C’mon Champ don’t be THAT guy lol I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to defend Lewis against people who wrongfully bring that up especially considering he never should have been a suspect based on the evidence (or lack thereof) the prosecution presented.
Its totally bogus that people (11 years later) still believe that Ray was a celebrity got off a crime based on the fact that he happened to be a young rich guy near an accident especially considering that probably half the people probably never even paid attention to the trial.
Steelers fans used to talk a lot of sh!t about Lewis but ever since Roethlisbergers pattern of dumb behavior they’ve been pretty quiet
.
Killa
*Lmao* @ this whole post… just wow. You really put your best foot forward w/this one Champ *lol*.
Ok… I’m really impressed by the Champ’s screenplay skills… D@MN Champ you were really smitten by Love Jones huh? Like you really really really like that movie…
Is someone developing a crush on Ted Witcher?… hmmmm? HMMMM?
Gosh… I was just playin. *eye roll*
*Lol*, u so silly. Maybe there is a bromance on the horizon *lol*.
thank you. i’ve been trying to work on my investigative journalism chops, and i was truly blessed when i was able to sniff out this screenplay.
Please tell me it ain’t so……………
yea. it’s true. loretta devine is definitely in this movie
When he said he got a hold of the screenplay I knew he was lying. lolol
Wow…..ummm, no. I appreciate his trying to let the next generation experience the sugary goodness that is Love Jones, but no. Don’t violate my memories Tyler!!!
“Don’t violate my memories Tyler!!!”
if you’re a woman, you don’t have to worry about tyler violating anything having to do with you
Ha and ha

Tell my fam it’s been real.
I’ve never cried laughing like this before.
Once again this week, I’m spent… and I’m thru with you, Champ!
yeah, i thought the casting choice of rihanna was pretty funny too. that perry is a wild dude
Pingback: Tweets that mention A Sneak-Peek Into “Tyler Perry’s Love Jones” | Very Smart Brothas -- Topsy.com
I. CAN’T. BREATHE.
The sad part is, its evident that NOTHING is sacred to Tyler Perry. I wouldn’t be surprised if one his ‘staff members’ finds this and something like it happens. Shame on you for giving him ideas.
actually, one of the staff members leaked this to me. i can’t say who, though (for obvious reasons)
is this for real? are you pulling our leg? Because I kinda don’t believe it. AT ALL. Be real, is this a joke?
yeah, it’s real. i’m definitely an official “journalist” now. I even pinched myself this morning to make sure i’m not dreaming
I hope this is NOT for real… I don’t believe it either. I’m a TP fan…but to remake LJ…no bueno!
I couldn’t even read the full post. Tyler Perry cannot destroy the legacy of “Love Jones”. No no no no NoOoOo!
I knew it was a joke when I realized in the entire scene, not once did one of the strippers whoop one of the woman’s asses. No way that’s a Tyler Perry production.
the stripper ass-whooping/jello orgy/church sermon scene doesn’t happen until later in the movie
Jello orgy? And church sermon?
I can’t be a part of this. *Logs off*
*Logs back in and keeps reading comments*
The very first post I saw from you guys was Dating Advice From Drake …I almost wish this was the first one so I coulda had saved that genuine “wait, what?” realization that ya’ll retarded as fuck!
Seeing how I handed off the “Last Black Man to see Love Jones,” title to The Champ, I also fell in love with the movie too. My soul died when I read VSB saying that TP was re-doing the film. That’s like calling Meet the Browns, the new Cosby Show.
Thank God this is just a super creative post
…right?
Otherwise, we’ll have to protest.
Egypt.
“…Otherwise, we’ll have to protest. Egypt.”
Lol! #COSIGN
no retardedness here. just good journalism
I don’t really care for remakes, please leave “Darius & Nina” ALONE..I will go H.A.M. (kanye outburst) if this ish happens…
“Typical Tyler Perry Plotline” The Boondocks season three” went in” on Perry..lmbo

hahahaha, gotta love boondocks! So accurate. “I’m dark skinned and bald headed, so I hate you and I hate Jesus”. D-U-M-B
Ummm… Yeah..u have got to be f*cling kidding… Like that made NO sense and TP would just be messing up another movie.
“Ummm… Yeah..u have got to be f*cling kidding… Like that made NO sense and TP would just be messing up another movie.”
actually, after reading the entire screenplay, i think the movie will surprise some people
The only thing that could surprise me about such a movie is if it somehow fails to immediately usher in the Apocalypse.
I was holding my laugh in just fine and then THIS post right here!
**emptying contents of my desk and putting dead Ivy in a box….think I’ll leave picture of my ex-boyfriend as the screen saver though….**
LMFAO! The scene is funny, but I hope nobody remakes the original Love Jones. I watch it atleast once a week.
well, get ready to watch the remake at least once a week too
* I wouldn’t be surprised if this follows Truth Hall on BET next week
* Too bad Tyler Perry doesn’t really do R-rated movies. He really should collaborate with Zane to make “Madea Makes a Porno.” Toni Braxton’s last shred of dignity should star
*PS – according to Amazon.com, most of the buyers of “Your Degrees” bought “Love Jones” VSB should ask for a cut of DVD sales.
*PS -according to Amazon.com, most buyers of ” Your Degrees” bought ” Love Jones” VSB should ask for a cut of DVD sales.
along with “Hoe/wives of ATL” and Jay-z can’t write ” Decoded”, and now I’m setting up the DVD to watch ” Girlfriends” for the weekend.
“Too bad Tyler Perry doesn’t really do R-rated movies. He really should collaborate with Zane to make ‘Madea Makes a P0rno.’”
I’m sure he could find a way to pull this to PG-13. Starting with the title, he’ll just make it “Madea Makes a Movie.”
“*PS – according to Amazon.com, most of the buyers of “Your Degrees” bought “Love Jones” VSB should ask for a cut of DVD sales.”
this is how i was able to finagle the screenplay
Come on guys, this is clearly a joke. I mean seriously, this is a joke right? Right Champ, right???? There’s no way this is real. We’ll get an “this was an early April Fool’s joke” post on Monday. I’m sure of it! *fingers crossed*
yes, it’s definitely true. perry wants us to believe that michael jai white can play an astronaut
There’s absolutely no way this can be true. I’m still waiting for the “gotcha b*tches!” moment. Who would actually take this seriously? I mean, really? I’m at a complete loss for words. Michael Jai White shouldn’t be doing anything but continuing to play a samurai that speaks Thai in Nikki Minaj videos. If this come to light, i’m writing a letter of disgust. To who? I’m not quite sure yet, but there will be tons of aggressive words involved.
BTW, I’m def going to fail out of grad school for reading your book instead of reading about A.G. Spalding in my sports history class. Thank guys… And Sallie Mae thanks you as well…..
I can’t even front, as I read the first paragraph, the first two words out of my mouth were
F#&% no
You may not have said it out loud, but you probably said it in your minds too. And you even know which kind of F#&% no I’m talking about. It’s the kind you would say when someone with bad credit and a known drug habit asks to borrow your car.
Actually my 1st paragraph response was “tha fcuk???!!” same tone and inflection as your response though…lol Not a fan of Love Jones, so I don’t really care if it’s remade, just that this remake was so far fetched that it deserved a comment.
Well because I’m NOT really a Love Jones fan… *looks around*… *whispers* I kinda wanna see it…
Oh come on, that sh*t was HILARIOUS! It would make a great movie… TP do yo’ thang shawty!
I’m not really a Love Jones fan either…
…I still wouldn’t want to see a remake. Hell I’m having trouble keeping my breakfast down just contemplating a hypothetical remake. Everytime I do I just feel like, a puppy somewhere dies and rainbows are extinguished. It just isn’t right. Nothing that kills puppies and blots out rainbows has a place in our society.
Not the puppies and RAINBOWZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH! *faints*
I’m ok…
I don’t think it’s so much a remake as a satire… like I definitely cannot stand remakes. UGH! Unless we’re talking about Batman Begins and The Dark Knight… those were AWESOME! I digress… anyway, it’ll be a comedy…funny, see? That’s completely different than a remake.
Oh for sure, the remake isn’t happening. No one needs that kind of Epic Fail on their resume. Remember when Ginuwine “remade” (emphasis on quote fingers) “When Doves Cry”? Yeah… alright then. LOL.
the sweat of your body covers G- Ahhhahahahaha…
You are evil for making me google that… my ears and eyes (oh yes, there is a video) weep. *holds self while slowly rocking back-and-forth*
Why would he do that? And in silk pajamas at that… smh.
In my defense… I did describe it as an Epic Fail (and I capitalized the “E” and the “F” to make it more official… looking)
Why did they go through with it? I can only guess that it seemed like a good idea at the time… someone probably just saw Timbaland and Ginuwine… and figured how could you possibly go wrong?
Of course now we know the answer to that question is, “by attempting a remake of ‘Purple Rain’” but honestly – who likes a Monday Morning Quarter Back? Nobody. That’s who.
who likes a Monday Morning Quarter Back? Nobody. That’s who.
DQ…
… I have no clue what you are talking about… *hangs head in shame*
Then you must use the power of “The Google”.
You can do it YS, I believe in you.
O_O… me? You believe…in me?… *overwhelmed with determination begins to type http://www.goog...*… hmmm ok. You’re almost there YS just stay focused. *deep exhale while typing “Monday Morni…”*… Wait what’s this? Ideeli is having a sale?… NO YEAH SO, keep going… DQ is depending on YOU!!!!… *clicks on thefreedictionarydotcom link*… whoaaaaa…
Thank you DQ *tear*… it’s because of your belief in me and I am truly.thankful.
@ yeah…so
I just had to says Ideeli is my joint!!! Thatisall.
Do you have any idea how mad I am at myself for not seeing that shit coming?! I am on the floor right now trying to burn up all my degrees but the tears of my laughter keeps dousing the effing flame. ROFLMAO
yeah, the fact that iesha wrote “jesus” on his chest surprised me too. i sooo didn’t see that coming
It sounds amazing. I hope I can use the free movie pass I got at church’s fried chicken
But I might not be able to wait that long since the new big mommas house comes out soon
“I hope I can use the free movie pass I got at church’s fried chicken”
Now this really tickled me.
I’m so annoyed with Martin for Big Momma’s House 3. I really really hate those movies.
They could at least keep up with the time and call it Big Momma’s Foreclosure…
#justsaying
bwaaahahahaha
Or Big Momma’s Sub-Prime Loan or Big Momma’s Adjustable Rate Mortgage…
…there’s so much room to explore.
“Big Momma Gets Fired”
“Big Momma’s Job Hunt”
“Big Momma’s Downsizing Adventure”
Big Momma’s Underwater Mortgage
Big Momma’s Short Sale On a Predatory Loan
Big Momma’s Fannie Mae (this one would actually be a p0rn)
It’s a franchise that couldn’t be stopped…
NOT Big Momma’s Foreclosure!
WIN.
“It sounds amazing. I hope I can use the free movie pass I got at church’s fried chicken”
you got one of those too? i thought it was just a local, pittsburgh thing
First off, this is a pretty amazing satire of TP and the double-edged sword of his audacity to write films and his desire to make money.
High-larious.
satire?
oh my bad “summary”
Wrong. Just wrong. (LOL!!!)
i know, right? putting chris brown and rihanna in the same movie is pretty audacious.
-__- I barely made it past the opening scene.
me too. i was so impressed that i took breaks while reading it
Hilarious!! Good sh*t, Champ!
And I do think TP would be the person to put Ray Lewis in a movie, say, Another Diary of a Mad Black Woman: Madea’s Revenge, Ray could so be the wife beating, rich bank executive, but barely literate husband of the star actress.
“And I do think TP would be the person to put Ray Lewis in a movie, say, Another Diary of a Mad Black Woman: Madea’s Revenge, Ray could so be the wife beating, rich bank executive, but barely literate husband of the star actress”
actually, early rumors are that — in a fit of inspired casting — seth rogen has been cast in that role
I’m pretty sure TP would put Keisha “Rudy” Pulliam somewhere in the mix…
Oh LAWD! ugh.
I gotta believe, that somewhere…
…somewhere there is a place for Miguel A. Núńez Jr. That man has paid his dues and I would think after “Juwanna Mann” that TP would feel some sort of kindred spirit betwixt the two of them.
Yes I said betwixt.
Now that you bring it up… it does seem like they should be
datingfriends or at least LBs or something… like they’re cut from the samefeather boacloth. Dang… YOU KNOW WHAT… TP might see him as competition *light bulb*… you know when someone comes along that’sblacklike you, cracks jokes like you and isfeminine apart of the same industry as you, you may wanna protect your neck nah mean?EHHHHHHH! fail *tear*
again:
… cracks jokes like you and is
feminineapart of the same industry as you, you may wanna protect your neck nah mean?*Consoles YS*
Don’t worry, I still laughed. You had me at dating
Oh DQ… thank you… *sniffles* … you wanna cover and watch a movie? I got that new TP movie Diary of a Mad Black Woman That Can’t Get a Loan… it’s a Big Momma series spin-off.
LOL… I meant come over not cover… see I put come and over together?… *sad*
LET ME BE GREAT DAMMIT!… *sad again*
LOL, the weekend can’t get hear fast enough for you can it YS?
uhn uh.

Let me tell you something Champ, if I was any where near you I’m sure I would kick your ass right now! Seeing that off rip when I saw Love Jones and Tyler Perry in the same sentence I instantly became enraged, how dare you play with my blood presure like that! I believe someone else said something about placing a hit on Perry. Let me tell you how that would be oh so a reality. I love everything about the original movie Love Jones. It doesn’t need to be redone nor does it need a sequel. Ok, I will now go back to lurking. LOVE JONES IS OFF LIMITS!
Amen Sister!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the record, I said Nancy Kerrigan style hit, I’m talking tire irons to the knee cap, not the Joe Pesci Buried-Alive-In-A-Cornfield scene from the movie Casino
LOVE JONES IS OFF LIMITS!
it’s too late for that. give it a chance, though. i think you’ll be impressed
For real, Tyler Perry just wants the movie to get an audience. Obvously haven’t seen it but I’m pretty sure that his reason for as you say ”staying true to the original Love Jones movie” – has nothing to do with staying true to the original Love Jones movie. Exhibit a- Rihanna who is not and never was an actress. Exhibit b- Chris Brown whose acting skills are quite limited (to put it nicely). Exhibit c- Rihanna and Chris Brown whose ”relationship” on and off the movie is sure to get a few audience members’ attention (by ”audience members” I mean – people who wouldn’t even have given this type of artistic movie a glance). Don’t mean to imply that this whole movie would revolve around their relationship or, for that matter that Tyler Perry is trying to cash in on it (of course he wouldn’t do that) but…

i agree. you can’t fault the man for being shrewd
brilliant Champ !!!!!
f#@k! but u had me there til I read the comments.
LOL… I know right? Everybody is going in! I thought it was rather well done myself… actually that (brilliant) was my first thought as soon as I reached the end. *Kanyeshrug*
thanks! i really think i’m coming into my own as an investigative journalist
So when is a satire of Black Romance movies gonna be made? Where are those damn Wayanz Brothers! I could see Kevin Hart and Taraji P. pulling this off and Neicy Nash being the homegirl giving out bad advice.
On another note Truth Hall was pretty entertaining, it just needed that more masculine lesbian.
No. Please no.
I’ve never seen Scary Movie and all those spin-offs, although I was unfortunate enough to end up watching some of Epic Movie. The deer-in-headlights look on that white girl’s face (the one that seems to be in all of them) is so tragically unfunny it made my stomach hurt. Please, for the love of Gawd, don’t speak this into existence.
You know what… all “dead panning” aside… I might actually support a Wayans parody of Black Romance movie. And by support, I mean rent the DVD from “Red Box” on my way out of Wal Mart.
Obviousy you had a great week, so felt the need to kill my weekend visuals with TP. My heart actually stopped, then I re read and understood this was a joke, a bit of humour for the weekend, it’s a joke, a joke woman hah hah hah. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Never play with the “Love Jones”. Play about with “Woo/get on it/waiting to exhale/BET movies, but please not the classics.
*Was setting up “Girlfriends” for the weekend, now need “Son’s of Anarchy” and “Broadwalk Empire” thanks CHAMP*
*Was setting up “Girlfriends” for the weekend, now need “Son’s of Anarchy” and “Broadwalk Empire” thanks CHAMP*
no problem
Yannow… as I read the first few paragraphs, I was shaking my head and thinking to myself, “I simply cannot fool with VSB anymore. I can’t. I shan’t.*” But then I got to the part about Loretta Devine being a peculiar casting choice and fell. out.
I’ll be back to finish later, when I get to work.
*Notice how, despite this declaration, I continued to read. Smh
trust me, the screenplay gets even better
How is it that I want to watch this and shun it at the same time? SMH
You and me both.
yeah. it produced conflicted feelings in me too
This was hilarious! Champ you are a d@mn fool.
Me thinks you must have saw the sneak peek for Tha Life: Atlanta Reality. This looks like a scene straight from that show. LMAO!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPriEXNlkYo
O___O
Oh LAWD! Atlanta got another reality show? Why LAWD? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
I just can’t with this clip… there is only so much pouty mouth and lip smackin’ I can take… y’all know a good realtor in Tampa?
@V Renee:
I want my 5.24 mins of my life back. lol. Those dudes act worse than some women I know. lol.
and this is exactly why I left ATL….
This was hilarious!
yeah, i thought that line about the manparts was pretty funny too. Perry’s getting better as a comedic writer
I seriously had heart palpitations while reading the 1st paragraph. You almost sent me to the upper room from sheer dread. Thanks…
How Rude! (c) Stephanie Tanner
yeah. i was that excited too when i first heard about this
I can’t wait for TBS to get rights to the TV series.
HAHAHAHA, TBS would definitely have first dibs on this as a TV series.
Oh lawd!!! One more TBS show I have to avoid when I’m trying to watch Family Guy.
they actually already do. in fact, the show has started filming
I’m laughing because some people dont realize this is a joke !
That is slaying me as well…
I’mma pretend like this is real life for a hot sec. lol
“Yup, you read that correctly: Tyler Perry is doing a remake of Love Jones.”
Well, he’s proved that he can make a more “serious” film (even though it was still done in his overly-dramatized way), so as long as Madea doesn’t show up, he might do okay. Of course, it won’t beat the classic, but what ever does?
Also, *dork alert* That ain’t eeeem in screenplay format. -________O
Haven’t you heard the news, Lisa Nicole Carson has agreed to do a cameo.
“Also, *dork alert* That ain’t eeeem in screenplay format. -________O”
we’re such writers. i was thinking the SAME thing. lol.
“Also, *dork alert* That ain’t eeeem in screenplay format. -________O”
Not sure if this makes me a “dork” too, but when I finished reading it I thought “oh, that’s what a screenplay would look like.” LOL, Thanks for preventing the spread of inaccurate information.
LOL I was thinking the same thing WIP! [Quickly erases any "knowledge" that was just acquired]
That ain’t eeeem in screenplay format. -________O
yeah, something felt off kilter but I couldn’t put my finger on it… I was too busy wiping the tears from mine eyes… thanks Cheeki-Poo… enlightenin’ ninjas and sh*t.
“Also, *dork alert* That ain’t eeeem in screenplay format. -________O”
of course not. i’m not trying to get sued.
Do rom-coms generally get “remakes”? I can’t think of one off the top of my head…
Anyway, I’ll take a movie with Michael Jai White skrippin any day of the week.
This sounds more like a Harlem Nights remake.
Focker out.
Sabrina to name one
da hell?
“Anyway, I’ll take a movie with Michael Jai White skrippin any day of the week.”
he actually keeps his clothes on in this movie
I vote for a rewrite.
I second.
So moved.
*gavel bang* Rewrite it is… this time Mike White gets nekkid!
that “Jesus” at the end… brilliant. i think i choked on my carrot juice.
not expecting that at all.
hilariousness!
and… TP better leave Love Jones alone. not eeeeen joking. if the writer/director actually allowed TP to remake that movie for real for real, he does NOT love his movie like you claim he does. that’s my PSA.
back to laughing. lol.
this begs the question, why the hell are you drinking carrot juice?
because it’s good! and good for you.
lol. leave me lone.
I heard carrots help you see better.
In my best Spike Lee voice: WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOLLLLLLLLLLLL!
Ok wait…
Why duh heyll every hair show/strip club movie gotta be based in Atlanta? Uh, we do more here than just hair and taking our clothes off!
AnnnyWAYYYYZZZ!
I like yuh and I want yuh! I think this movie would be great. For as many people that go COMPLETELY BONKERS over it someone needs to do a satire… and anything TP could come up with will do for now until we find someone that’s actually funny.
Awwww Champ make it happen won’t you?… Pwweeeeez?…
… *tear*… *slow blink*… *tear*
-SFG said I’m cute when I do that… I concur and so do you.
right, ya’ll make coke…the pop(soda).
THAT’S RIGHT… and… and… and TLC is from here!… oh wait, DAMMIT CHILLI!!!!
The Bronner Bros Hair Show Weekend starts today… smh.
“Jesus” is what I wrote on my forehead when I read the title of the article. Pheww… You got me with this one.
Ok, you had me worried at first. I thought you were serious about TP doing a LJ remake. But when I saw “Tyler Perry”, “Raven Simone”, and “Oscar buzz” in one sentence, I realized this post was all a big joke. Ha ha, very funny motherfu….r!
Well played!
After I got over the initial “oh no, not again from T. Perry” and realized this was a spoof it was very funny. Well played.
Wait, so there won’t be a part for Shamar “I’ll always be lightskinneded for you” Moore? I think he should be cast as a roadie named Earl who finally get’s his chance to shine when Rank steps away from the game to be with Iesha.
This is hilarious. After being forced to watch a good majority of T.P.’s “Madea’s Big Happy Family” at my parents house on Saturday after seeing “For Colored Girls”at the $2.00 theater on Friday, I must say that your screenplay seems spot on, bad wigs and all.
I just hope Iesha wrote Jesus with a Sharpie because sweat and ink doesn’t seem like a good combination.
This and you are ridiculous!!!
This was definitely the most clever, creative, HILARIOUS, and subtle angst-ridden rant about Tyler Perry EVER! Not only does this exemplify your frustration and pure baffle-ment [yes, I made up that word] over TP’s continued attempts at making movies that people keep watching for some mysterious reason, but at the same time, it shows your complete adoration for Love Jones. I gotta see that original before TP goes and messes that up for real one day…
I don’t believe this for one second. Everything you said sounds horrible…from the casting, to the dialogue, to the setting, to the EVERYTHING. So for now, I choose to believe that you were either joking, just flat out lying to see who would be gullible enough to believe this, or you have very, very vivid dreams. Like I do.
My body & my soul have parted ways.
I think CCH Pounder and Essence “Bug Eye” Atkins should be in the film somewhere. This makes hella sense.
Essence could play Iesha’s crackhead whore cousin Mercedes. There has to be a crackhead whore somewhere in this movie to make it a true Tyler Perry film. And Cicily Tyson, can’t forget Cicily.
“Essence “Bug Eye” Atkins should be in the film”
There’s no way she could possibly have time. She is popping up all over the place. I think one day I saw her in 3 different TV shows.
Were they all on during the same time slot? Cause that would make it even more gangster.
Haha very funny Champ. I know this is all a bag of bullsh*t. It has to be because Lawd knows if Tyler Perry tried to jack up my Love Jones, I would call up my Muslim brothers to coordinate bombings at theaters nation wide.
Play with it.
ROTFL! Although I don’t know you personally, I can almost gaurantee you’re serious.
LOL i’ve already said i’d personally put the hit out on his home.
glad you’ve got the theaters covered. word.
In a nutshell…
http://bit.ly/aLyUac
LOLOLOL HILARIOUS
Ha! me too. Same thing.
I didnt even get pass the first paragraph, and all i have to say is nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
he bet not touch my movie, why dont he just remake Hav Plenty or Inkwell or something?
Leave Love Jones, alone….please!! T Pain(yes i call Tyler Perry T Pain!)
okay its a joke: Boy you play to much! lol!
heyyy i loved Have Plenty. lol
i love all movies where the character is a writer though. maybe i’m biased. lol
…i def didn’t add that “e” on the end of Hav on purpose either.
*proposes an edit button be put back in the comment section*
*Finally exhales* I thought this was real life. OMG, my life was in a disarray immediately.
STOP!!! I cant deal!!! I dont ever want there to be a scene where someone is stripping to going up yonder lol!!!!!!
I also cant deal with a salon/strip club do you know what kinda insurance they would have to carry?!! How many perms would be overprocessed? Ears burned? Tape ups messed up? The horror!
Le sigh.
Upon reading the 1st paragraph, this little colored girl wept
…..and then I actually read the entire post and the comments.
Champ I quit you.
Chris Brown with a dreadlock wig?? O_o
I’m still having nightmares about Shemar Moore’s cornrows in TP’s Diary of a Mad Black Woman.
“I’m still having nightmares about Shemar Moore’s cornrows in TP’s Diary of a Mad Black Woman.”
You and me both!
I feel like Shemar Moore’s lace front corn row wig is taking a lot of undue criticism right now. I mean think about it… what did that lace front do but show up to the set, do it’s job, and go home? What’s so wrong about that?
It didn’t make itself this way, it didn’t choose this life… this life chose it. It’s just doing the best it can with what it’s got.
Okay, you know those laughs where you’re laughing but no sound comes out except where it sounds like a drawn out dry heave? Yeah, I just had one of those laughs thanks to you *lol*.
WELP.
Time to put Love Jones in my instant Queue so that I can continue to judge Tyler Perry.
I mean….so that I can see the difference…..in the scripts…
I need to put quite a few black movies in my queue. I’m sure I’ve seen the movies you guys are mentioning, but I couldn’t tell what na’an one of them were about.
You sucka you! Champ! WHY OH WHY?!?
This cannot be REAL LIFE. I’m so DEAD if this is real life. T
Get back in Church?!?!?!?! Dude, are you not in a strip club! This is NOT okay to eff up my movie to the upteenth power like this. Someone just asked a couple of days ago if Love Jones was remade would we watch, this is not a remake of Love Jones, this is a Tyler Perry catastrophic F*ckapiece.
My face is now on the floor *picks up face*. This was comical…*takes another deep breath*
Love Jones Reconsidered
10:25 AM 2/18/2011 Fri
Good morning Champ, everyone,
You know, I gotta tell ya – and this perhaps comes as no big surprise, given who I am and the nature of the audience here – but I never caught the Love Jones bug. Sure, I knew who Tate and Long were, the latter being the “it” gal of the period; and I had seen the movie just like darn near every Black person alive at the time did. I thought it was aite, but not anything to go crazy over.
Then again, in fairness, circa the late 1990s, I was digging on Blade, the Wu-Tang Clan’s second album, Biggie’s Ten Crack Commandments and seeing in realtime what would go on to become The Wire.
Without question though, Love Jones has achieved a cult-like status that approaches mythic proportions in Black America, and for a time that always had me befuddled; I couldn’t quite wrap my mind around why that was. With a bit of distance, in terms of time, it began to make sense.
Like The Big Chill, Easy Rider or Kramer vs. Kramer, Love Jones is a coming of age film *for Black GenXers* – this is vitally important, because unlike Boyz in the Hood, or the aforementioned Blade, Love Jones spoke directly to Black America’s first cohort of post-civil rights era Blacks – those African Americans who actualized the promise of those halcyon days of “the movement”. Black GenXers were, and in many ways remain, the highest per capita college educated cohort of African Americans in the history of the union (GenXers in general, regardless of color, are the biggest cohort of college degree holding Americans, those born between 1961 and 1981). All of the interests and trappings of the Black college experience – especially in the 1990s – was writ large in Love Jones – the whole “Black Renaissance” themes, jazz and poetry and the like, along with an obsession with looking urbane and sophisticated and trying to give the appearance of thinking deep thoughts. Such pretentiousness is all par for the course of the young, even moreso of those who matriculate. Love Jones then, is more than a story about two, how does the Wiki entry put it, “confused lovebirds”; it is rather a kind of ode on the one hand, a somewhat narcisstic navel gazing session on the other, of the emerging Black middle class. In the years since its release, this understanding made sense as to why I never caught the bug; it didn’t speak to my experience, to the world I knew and in which I lived.
If the rumors are indeed true that the immensely successful playwright and screenwriter Tyler Perry is looking to give his take on Love Jones, it would make sense; the Wiki entry on the original doesn’t give a gross earnings amount for the film, but it says that it took approximately $10M USD to make; my guess is that it made its money back several times over since 1997, the year it came out. And given the fact that those who first watched the film are now approaching their middle aged years, they are likely to be nostalgic for those college and first few post-college years, and all that came with it. Hence, I predict a success for Perry, if his past track record is anything to go by.

I DIED at this reply.
Why?

I can’t with you today, Champ. I hate you for making me bite me esophagus with this post. LOL
Worst. Movie. Ever.
That’s what Comic Book Guy said! (simpsons’s style)
I cannot deal with you this morning. I’m in class (CLEARLY not paying attention) trying my hardest not to chortle aloud…
Hate ya’ll man…
Fricking side is cramping trying not to laugh.
Same here! Girl, my co-workers could hear me from my office. Champ is a fool/genius!
before he got his hands on For Colored Girls, I would have laughed at this! Today, it’s just MEAN. I will forgive you one day but you better pray that this doesn’t come to fruition. There will be cussin and suing going down LOL!
Please tell me you made this up! I can’t take this being anything more than a figment of your imagination!
And does anyone else see something quite hypocritical in “Iesha” writing “Jesus” on “The Wrangler’s” hand after frequenting a strip club?
New lows, TP, new lows!
lmao straight and utter foolishness.
but fa real doe, i would drive to DC to meet Peej (Mr. Jackson if ya nasty) so we could go to the movie premiere together. ya know, since we both have a love for subjecting ourselves to any and all bad black movies.
#weSupport #BETonBlack
(reads bootleg screenplay)
*crickets*
*sigh*
Yep! It’s official. I’m a movie snob.
How did you get you hands on the screenplay!? lol
When I read the title, I said aloud, “Scuse Me?” Be back after I’ve read the rest
I almost threw up until I started reading your “screenplay”.
Well played, sir.
When I got to the last line, everyone in 10 cubicle radius knew I had finally made it into work this morning.
Champ, you could give TP a run for his money with your screenplay writing skills cause I saw and heard the whole thing…the blond dreads, Loretta Divine, and ABC’s Iesha. Let me know if the advanced screening will be an official VSB event.
lol.
Got me up here Googling ‘love jones tyler perry remake.’ Smh. It ain’t April Fools Day yet…
lol glad I wasnt the only one
Ya’ll mean to tell me this was f-ing real??? Like on this earth, in the real distant future Love Jones will be redone and that is a scene that will be in it? OMG, I’d rather watch American History X for the rest of life than partake in that T-Foolery! Who said that movie needs to be redone?? Anger….
BTW, been reading for a while but i’m new to the world of comments…hey…
hi.
oops… welcome?
*throws welcome glitter*
Welcome! Wait, maybe I’m not qualified for the welcom commitee since today’s my first day commenting, too…
Ah, well.
I’m far *more* of a lurker than an active commenter, but still… *throws even more welcome glitter*
I’m a big fan of the glitter…hey thanks y’all. I’m a big fan of lurking & having opinions on blog sites that no one is aware of because I never say ish…but this is my year dammit….I just want to be free.
All I can say is drop squad on TP, STAT!!!
Amen!
Clearly Dave Chappelle needs to make his way in here. He’s trying to get back to hollywood yall. #babyneedsavehicle
lmao the funny thing is that IF Tyler Perry was to remake this movie I have no doubt it would be quite similar lol…Especially with the part about Loretta Devine! She is always cast as somebody’s mama OR in a role meant for someone younger but she’s not so she plays the role in a weird way. But this sounded like the beginning of a cheesy porno
I was thru at “goin up a yonder” Lawd! Champ how do you do this? I was mad as hell at first. Simply genius
Okay, Champ, with all due respect seeing how I’m a teen and all…….go. to. ….a tHeatEr that pLays nothing but TyLer Perry movies! lmao you almost killed me dead with the thought of a “strip salon” in which sits a Jesus-loving Rihanna beside an actress old enough to be all of our grandmothers passing as her “homegirl” while Chris Brown in DREADLOCKS, no less, visually rapes the audience in what, in true TP fashion, will be the beginning of the unlikely evangelical relationship that’s supposed to inspire us all.
See??? I just suffered a mild stroke as a result of thinking about it long enough to type that paragraph. As another commenter said, SHAME on you for giving Tyler ideas! LOL. But kudos for your immense creativity. I would never have put so much detail into something that’s just for laughs [and, whatver you say, I will CONTINUE to believe this post is a joke because I am just to young to die. lol]
THIS.CANT.BE.REAL.
0_O
I couldnt even finish the dialogue, hell i was done by the time i heard about Chris Brown being a stripper with Dreads and Ray Lewis. *Exits the theater to request refund*
This is the funniest thing I’ve read in long time!!!
I was taking it so serious, like I. Cannot. BEE-LEEVE. It. Serious….then I read the script LOL
And if Loretta Devine is in this one why isn’t Jenifer Lewis, I’m sure she has to play someone’s overbearing mother.
Look, I’m really confused. The comments section and the writer of this…I’m just not clear here.
IS this a JOKE, or NOT? Seriously.
This is a joke right?
Sorry to see there are people out there who still haven’t watched Love Jones. The soundtrack alone makes that film worthwhile.
Best.post.EVAAAAAH
I absolutely LOATHE relationship movies and chick flicks. The only good ones are “black” ones – and that’s because of all the delicious “man booty” like Morris Chestnut in them.
So yeah, I’ll go see Love Jones just for the eye candy, not the boring, played out plot.
So is this for real or not? I need to know so I can put my outraged face on.
LMAO. The only thing missing was Ma Dukes running up with a gun and threatening to break her foot off in someone’s behind
