IDLEWILD OPENS AT #9

idlewild.jpg

OutKast’s Idlewild musical grossed an estimated $5.9 million at the box office to place ninth for Universal Pictures, but it averaged about $6,064 at 973 theaters; which is actually pretty good.

I meant to check it out this weekend, but I never got around to seeing it. Did you see it and if you did, how was it?

MORE FOXY BROWN MADNESS!

foxy_sm.jpg Earlier today I posted that Foxy Brown missed her scheduled court date, but I guess that story was wrong, because TMZ is reporting otherwise.

Word is she arrived late and pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault charges stemming from a fight with salon workers over a manicure. The plea deal, which spares her jail time, requires her to serve three years probation and take anger management classes, said Edison Alban, a spokesman for the Manhattan district attorney’s office.

But get this, minutes after the plea, Foxy’s crazy ass, tried to return to the courtroom and withdraw it, claiming she had been rushed into the decision. But the judge told her that the plea stands.

She is so through! I know yall heard that rumor about her attacking some chick on the street too. I swear..

ANOTHER BLIND ITEM

What do you do when a volatile sports star attempts to check into your hotel and their credit card is declined? Well, if you work the front desk of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, you pray that someone else in their entourage quickly puts up a credit card before the athlete decides to take out their frustration on you. That’s what happened to said athlete when he attempted to check-in the MGM while in Las Vegas for the Oleg Maskaev vs. Hasim Rahman boxing match. Luckily once the card was declined-meaning the sports figure didn’t even have the $150 the hotel wanted to hold for incidentals-someone in his camp offered up a card and it went through. [via BLACKVOICES]

Here are the possible choices: Ron Artest, Michael Vick, Mike Tyson, Ricky Williams, or Lonny Baxter

It’s most likely Mick Tyson’s crazy ass!

Fox was very stylish at the court appearance from what i heard. She had on the usual Gucci shades, a Chanel 2.5 Reissue bag, True Religion jeans, Gucci dress blouse, and some ballet flats. Very usual.

For someone to be so fresh, and beautiful…She has a BIG problem. LOL@ anyone who thinks Black Roses will drop in December.

Jay and Def Jam will prolly drop this FOOL sometimes this year. LOL

I saw Idlewild and thought it was okay. Some parts I liked, some parts I didn’t. My biggest complaint was that it seemed like the storyline was all over the place. But the overall look of the movie was very stylish.

And most of the music was from “Speakerboxx/The Love Below” because this movie was actually supposed to come out 2 years ago, but the studio shelved it. The studio heads didn’t “know what to do with it”. Take that however you will.

And as far as “Idlewild” opening up #9 - do you notice how many posters are saying that they “meant to see it” or “plan on seeing it”? Nowadays the biggest indicator that people go by is the opening weekend. You want more substantial black fare - then start seeing movies like this and not “Soul Plane”. We have to show people what we want to see by supporting!

#78, I agree. Comedies tend to capture the interests of Blacks nowadays. With lives of stress due to financial woes, kids, lovers, jobs, abuse and so on, there’s nothing wrong with escaping our turbulent personal situations and going to see a movie that makes us laugh and gives us joy. But life is not a comedy. Personally, I always wait until comedies are available on DVD before I take a trip to the theater. OutKast came with something different besides the ol’ hood story or the routinely seen black comedy. I think we all should support them. Open your minds black people. Do not live in a box.

Foxy can do no wrong in my eyes.
I’ve loved her since the Ill Nana days.

As for Idlewild….that movie really surprised me. I didn’t want to see it at first because the previews looked corny, but after reading a newspaper article about it while I was on the train, I decided to see it that night. Turns out it was a good movie- glad I went. Thing I loved the most about it is the fact that it’s very visually stimulating.
