Obsessed?

Hello everyone!

I haven't posted here in a while because Amanda has essentially been MIA, but she has a computer now and I think it's time we get back to our usual antics.

I'd like to kick it back up with my first movie review. Controversial of course, why else would I be posting it here and not on my regular blog?

This evening the MC and I decided to go see a movie. We decided to go see Obsessed.

After all who doesn't want to see Ali Larter slut it up?

Any woman...

...So... as I was saying I decided we should go see Obsessed.

But if you've seen the plot line then who wouldn't want to see it? -- hot assistant tries to ruin a company executive's life from the inside out? I'm sure we've seen that story many times, but apparently it doesn't get old.

I really do feel for the CEO in this day and age, if Barrack Obama isn't taking the money from your wallet in taxes... he gives the bank that has your account a bailout effectively owning your money anyways... if it's not that, then some slut is trying to ruin your marriage.

Which brings me to my first point of suckage of this movie... (and many others for that matter)

Why is it that in all films or TV shows, the stand-up guy who has never done anything wrong whom provides for his family, has a good relationship with his wife, is the one that gets thrown out of his house when the slut comes along and tells some fib of a story?

Nothing like being kicked while you're down.

We can argue all day about how he was unfaithful to his wife and he should be the stand-up guy that I just described to you, pack his bags and take the hit for the team.

...however! where exactly in there did I say that he was actually guilty as charged?

This is the point I'm trying to make... in these movies the wife NEVER believes the guy whom she's been with for years, she always errs on the side of pessimism, or the slut... if you will.

Leaving us guys in a real life situation to live the scenario. Not that I'm personally experienced in that particular state of 'affairs'. Never does the wife say after the man denies cheating on her "oh... Okay I believe you."

No!

...women and their expectations.



The second part of the movie and the INFINITELY more troublesome part of it is the story itself...

I swear the movie was directed by Spike Lee or Hell... Al Sharpton.

It wasn't too hard to find the African-American ethnocentric idealism throughout the movie.

Let us have a look:

>>>Black man lives in Beverly Hills type area, wealthy, large estate, beautiful wife, cute child, great company executive job, all of which he's dedicated to.

>>>Black man works with a bunch of white guys that tell him that this temp girl likes him and that he should consider cheating on his wife with all while drinking incessantly.

>>>White girl infiltrates said clique by befriending gay white assistant of said black male.

>>>White girl tries to break up perfect black marriage to capitalize on her own desires, later gets her ass kicked by black female wife of wealthy black male.

So let's recap...

Here are your options if you want a role in this movie:

- Be a black male and be successful with issues a main character might have.
- Be a black female and be married to said black male and cope with said issues.
- Be a white male and be the worst example of a human (Chauvinism/alcoholics).
- Be a white male and be gay.
- Be a white female and be a slut/crazed bitch and end up getting your ass kicked.

You might think that I may have looked too far into this movie to see these roles which was my initial reaction, but then i came back to reality...

I merely scratched the surface. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to see this character development.

They're out in the open, these roles are obvious.

Go watch it. I challenge you to prove me wrong.

If you can find a significant role that is anything outside of those 5 roles, you come back here and post in the comment section of this blog and feel free to tear me a new asshole about being a bigot.

I should have expected this seeing the population that walked into the theater and the overall noise level during the movie ...stereotypes originate somewhere I suppose.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would be proud of this movie, the perfect example of the whites bringing the blacks down (just like real life apparently).

Power to the minorities... what else is new?

Sure the movie was fiction, but the fucking undertone was damn clear...

This time I didn't even get to select whether or not I wanted the Astro-glide or K-Y when I took it in the back side...

...and now I'm out $12 to see a movie that I could have stayed home and watched by simply watching an Obama campaign rally (We accept that people are diverse; unless of course you happen to be white).





...I'm so pissed about this, this may actually make it to my actual blog which would result in a post across facebook, but I'm not quite sure I'm prepared to handle the liberal outlash at it. We'll see..
