@ #77- the majority of the time movies are released either the day before or on the holiday because they generate lots of $$$ on these days. They believe that some people will spend time and go to the movies with their families and most people are off the next day or 2. I hated this when I worked at the theater b/c I couldnt get off until almost 2am the next day :-( … but the overtime was GRRREAT!!! :-D

What up people,

Everyone is talking about the recognizable cast members, but I’m here to shine some light on Ms.Sharon Jones. She’s the little woman on the far left next to Denzel and she is my friend. Sharon Jones has been singing for years, her soulful voice is amazingly refreshing in this sea of Glam-Glam-Bam-Bam singers. I’m definitely not knocking anyone, I’m just saying. Most of her life she was discouraged by people who bsically told her tht she wouldn’t succeed in this business. She says people told her that she was “too black” and eventually “too black and too old” but Sharon believed in herself and her talent and kept pressing on.

Today, she is the dynamic lead singer for a popular band called Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings. The Dap-Kings were the backing band for Amy Winehouse recently. By a fluke, Sharon happened upon an audition for a movie in which she had to sing. She didn’t know who was involved in the movie or what it was about. When she got there and sang, she blew everyone away! Her personality is just as real as they come and she is a pleasure to know. By the way, Ms. Jones is from Brooklyn, NY…need I say more?

So, Sharon got the part in the movie and she was also asked to sing on the soundtrack as well. She is singing on six tracks. Sharon is also on tour with the Dap-Kings and they have an awesome new cd out titled “100 days…100 nights”. Check them out at ….www.myspace.com/sharonjonesandthedapkings
and tell them that Sky Rocket 714 sent you!

I’m just telling this story to say to everyone with a dream: believe in YOU and stay encouraged no matter what anyone has to say. No man has your destiny in his hands, GOD does and if someone wants to treat you unfavorably, don’t be fazed, know that they are part of a bigger plan that neither you or them may be able to see at that point. Trust me, it will all unfold in God’s own time.

Please support the movie, please support those involved. There are very real stories of adversity and triumph behind each of these faces. If you’re breathing, you know what I’m talking about because we each have a story. Don’t ever give up!

BE ENCOURAGED!!!!
Love and Light…higher and higher
Sincerely,
SkyRocket714

Lol @ # 78
I Thought I was the only one that remembered the “Get out the dayum tub!!!” line. Lol. Glad 2 see Jurnee all grown up n doing her thing.

Nate Parker is yummy-yum-licious. (and he does look like Henry Simmons lil bro, lol) He can get it though.

No, Denzel Whitaker is not Forrest Whitaker’s son. ( Ironic tho, DENZEL Washington, Forest WHITAKER, DENZEL WHITAKER, all in 1 movie together.)

Asbury
Ppl, dont get upset at her post. Truthfully I’d rather her take the money n buy a sex toy instead of a movie ticket. Its obvious that she aint gettin none. Gone girl, get a nut n get them crabs out yo vagina, cause u crabbin heavy. lol
