None of those movies are equal to Boomerang to me. Especially not the last 3 you note.
Waiting to Exhale is close, but I think Boomerang had a much more balanced story line. It wasn’t at “chick flick”.

I agree with the hypocrite title, but more so because of his failed relationships and lack of real credentials. EH…my opinion.

Really? You forgot Waiting To Exhale? Love & Basketball? The Wood? The Best Man?

I do not like Steve Harvey. I feel he is a GIANT hypocrite. He wasn’t funny in “Kings Of Comedy” movie. His 90s show was buffonish, not funny. those teens ‘bullethead/romeo’ still make me crings. For some reason it was the thing for comics to get tv shows, then movies, then radio shows. IMO only MARTIN and BERNIE MAC were successful with their tv shows. Monique had a radio show and it was cancelled. Very gald as her voice is annoying.

Anyways, I feel the movie did well not just bc of his radio listeners but also because unfortunately the MIGHTY OPRAH endorsed that ish. I was already disappointed in O and when she had Steve on I just added that to the list of why I can not follow the O religion.

Why would Oprah lighten her skin but not cut her nose/ I think the cameras of the 80s and earlys 90s as awell as bad makeup is why she looked darker.

]]> Comment on Black Sista Stars and Alleged Nose Jobs by Lisa Fields http://hellonegro.com/2007/10/13/black-sista-stars-and-alleged-nose-jobs/#comment-12389 Sat, 05 May 2012 00:29:26 +0000 http://hellonegro.wordpress.com/2007/10/13/black-sista-stars-and-alleged-nose-jobs/#comment-12389 I’m a forty something woman who had a nose job because I had a huge nose that was out of scale with my face with a large bump (I called it a ski slope) that I wanted to change for years. So when the opportunity presented itself I got a rhinoplasty to proportion my nose to compliment my other facial features. I’m glad I did it and I’m very happy with my decision. I had a wonderful surgeon and he made sure that my final results looked natural and not like I went under the knife. If anyone chooses to get surgery, I only suggest they really think about it long and hard and find the right surgeon who will listen to their concerns and work with them to make the right choice, whether it’s full on surgery, some other non-invasive procedure or a non-surgical way of embracing what they already have.

At the end of the day, some things are just personal decisions that people make for themselves and I don’t blame them or beat them up if they chose to enhance or alter their appearance, it’s again a personal choice. Not political but personal.

Your right about critics being negative about the President since day one. After all, once he became President, he step into a very large hole filled with problems that were left by others before him. He stated that it would take time, maybe not during his first term, but it will recover. Like most americans who may have hoped for a speedy recovery and it didn’t happen, are now tired and ready to see some changes. I admire The President for taking on such a HUGE problem that we all face today. But changes take time and we must have patience and believe in our leader. I hope he wins a second term and is able to bring America back on it’s feet. For the Homeless, hungry and the poor are laying on their backs. For history’s sake, i hope he will be looked apon as a man who did what others couldn’t or wouldn’t, and he did. Thank you. Mocha6ft3

I’ll see if I can get some faux leather and work up a tutorial. That should be interesting. Basically all you need is colored leather, leather string or cord, a glue gun, and a stencil for the africa. No real sewing goes into it.

It’s good to see your still here. Although i have not seen “Think like a man” i have seen plenty of advertising about it everywhere. But the movie “Boomerang” was also mentioned, and it made me look at my collection of movies with a large black cast. I only have a few such as “Eve’s Bayou” “The Best Man” “Boomerang” and just a few others. Due to the fact that i love science fiction, horror, and action movies with good or great sound, my selection of black films is small. I was always turned off by movies that made the cast act like clowns to get a laugh, or having us play pimps, prostitutes, drug dealers and maids. I will admit i do have some movies from the 70′s when 42nd street was like my second home. Often watching the “Black explortation films” in a theater filled with black and hispanic people smoking urb and drinking beer while watching “Super Fly” or “Pam Grier”. Now that i’m older my taste has changed and comedy is not something i always want to see. But “Boomerang” was and still is one of my favorite movies to watch. The cast is stacked with well know actors and actresses. So is “Eve’s Bayou” and “The Best Man”. It’s good to hear that “Think like a man” is doing well. It’s also good to see this forum once again. Please continue providing an interesting place for people who like to express their point of view on things that matter. It’s good hearing from you Sister.
