Move the Crowd

(In case anybody’s still reading this blog I just posted this on my main blog and thought I’d post it here too…)
I think the movie The Secret is about to hit its tipping point. On Thursday Oprah Winfrey’s show will be all about that movie — or more specifically the topic of […]

It’s been a while since I posted a Boondocks but I couldn’t resist this one. The Cita mention really got me…

Update: Did I say they were fired? What I had meant to say is that they left of their own volition.

Guns, Germs, and Steel, which airs on PBS beginning tomorrow, looks like an interesting documentary:

Based on Jared Diamond’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book of the same name, Guns, Germs and Steel traces humanity’s journey over the last 13,000 years – from the dawn of farming at the end of the last Ice Age to the realities of […]

I just got an email about Club Nouveau’s appearance on NBC tonight. All of you 80’s R&B fans won’t want to miss this. Set those TiVo’s…

Club Nouveau ushered in a new sound in music, It was 1986 and “Rumors” took the music business by storm, But Club Nouveau was more than just a […]

Looks like the new season of Def Poetry is starting off with a bang. Guests on the premiere episode include Avery Brooks, Lauryn Hill, and (gasp!) Dave Chappelle. Set those TiVos!
I guess I should mention P. Diddy’s ‘The Bad Boys of Comedy‘ too. I’m not expecting much from that show but I’ll […]

I just finished watching the ‘film/movies’ episode of ‘Black in the 80s‘. It was an entertaining and informative trip back to the 80s. It made me realize that I need to add some (major) movies to my NetFlix queue that slipped by me. I also have to watch Hollywood Shuffle again! […]

I watched “Unforgivable Blackness - The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson” over the last two nights on PBS. Ken Burns has produced another fascinating documentary (also see The Civil War and Jazz). If you missed it, I highly recommend seeing it. It’s being aired a few more times this week […]

Hell, if I was a criminal I’d probably adopt some of the ideas from ‘The Wire‘ too:

The accused leaders of the Queens gang, whose arrests were announced yesterday by Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly and District Attorney Richard A. Brown of Queens, mimicked the practice of characters in “The Wire,” using disposable cellphones to make […]

P6 highlights 3 upcoming PBS specials that are certainly worth TiVoing. (I’m setting up my WishLists for them now.)

Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson
Slavery and the Making of America
Do You Speak American?

I just finished watching last night’s episode of The Apprentice 2 and I’m still LMAO at what happened to Bradford. What a bonehead! As soon as he decided to revoke his immunity I knew he was a goner. Hubris is a mutha… He and Jennifer C. need to learn when to […]
