I usually don't get excited about entertainment. Do I really have a reason to be? It took me an entire year to learn how to work the AOII TV because Kate was always with me, and always turned it on, so that left viewing to a minimum. She's an enabler! I watch lots of movies at home with J, maybe too many, but what are you supposed to do in the freezing MN winter? But going to movies and watching TV shows... not really my thing.
However. I cannot wait to see Obsessed. Can we talk about this for a minute? What is better than a good mystery involving families and a crazed temp worker? I have seen the trailer, extended trailer, and trailer with commentary all on youtube, and I have to say that this reminds me greatly of What Lies Beneath. Another good, good movie. I cannot critique this yet, as it's not in theaters, but I did get a Thursday night pass for two (thanks to people giving Greeks goodies), but I have a night class. So most likely I'll see it on Saturday.
I'm excited to see how the race politics play out in this. I think there's a nasty stereotype that given the oppourtunity, a black man will always leave his [black] wife for a white woman. There is so much wrong with that. However, I'm not going to get on interracial relatonships since I am a) in one b) a product of one c) a supporter of them- and wouldn't that defeat my entire up-in-arms spiritual battle? I just don't like seeing other [black] women getting the short end of the stick! I love seeing black families portrayed as strong, not in the hood, and beautiful. Too often it's baby-daddy-broke-you know... sigh, how did I get into this already, Lord it's only 9:22am! But I digress, I love Beoyonce, and I think she is not only beautiful but everything else that a woman should be: confident, smart, and talented. I am looking forward to seeing this, what do you think? Will you go? Do you hate Beyonce? Did you know that "Diva" is a female version of a... good morning!
