I thought you called yourself "kenny_g" because you're a fan of the saxophonist.

 

Mine means "Moscow woman" in Russian.

I'm a big fan of old school black movie stars. Fred Williamson, Jim Brown, Calvin Lockhart, Ron O'Neal etc. Whatever somebody might say about them one thing is for sure, these were guys who kicked ass AND got the girl. In fact, Fred Williamson and Jim Brown used to DEMAND it. These were guys who 30 plus years ago were true leading men similar to some of the white male leads of their era. It's true Williamson and Brown weren't the strongest actors, but it's also true that a producer coudn't come at them with some weak shit trying to kill them off or turn their supposedly "lead character" into a sexless eunich. The idea was, if i'm the star (and you're using me to sell the picture) then you're damn well gonna treat me like one. Jim Brown's characters were always the smartest and baddest muthafuckas in his movies. One scene might have him delivering an ass whooping to a corrupt racist cop or a drunk redneck, another scene might have him in bed taking care of bizness with some blonde honey.

Williamson started making his own flicks with himself as the lead. Maybe they weren't huge summer blockbusters , but they were entertaining and he did them the way he wanted to do them. I wish we had more of that attitude today.

So I think my screen name's meaning is also pretty obvious, but i'll throw a pic/link in for the hell of it.

Uh, B is my initial, and Mistress B has been my nickname for a couple of years...mostly because I'm bossy but also because I went to a few fetish clubs and that kind of thing. My friends all think I'm pretty racy and kinky...it's mostly just talk though. :lol:

 

What about Jim Kelly from "Enter The Dragon"? That was my man there. I have all of his movies on dvd.

 

Absolutely. Jim Kelly was the man.

 

I think Samuel L Jackson is the best shaft ever.......these old school cats got nothing on him

 

I like Sam, but I wasn't too impressed by the remake.

 

Fred ended up forming his company Po' Boy Productions because all the studio heads wanted him to play sidekicks, go to jail or die at the end. He kept telling him that's NOT what he wanted to do.

The Black action genre would have grown and gotten bigger perhaps had it not been for the likes of Jesse Jackson, NAACP, C.O.R.E., S.C.L.C, Tony Brown and other self-righteous 'Black Leaders'.

If you don't know who the guy in my avatar is, he's Thalmus Rasulala. He was a decent character actor who's only leading role was in "Cool Breeze". Another actor who never got the proper respect he deserved.

As for "Shaft 2000". Pleeeeeeze. I like Sam, but he was so wrong for that role. He wasn't Shaft. Singleton made him a politically correct impotent joke. Personally, I think Blair Underwood would have done a much better job. But hey, that's Hollyweird.

 

I enjoyed the remake as well. I think Samuel handled the title role nicely, but I think the movie worked because of Jeffrey Wright being cast as "Peoples Hernandez". Jeffrey, in my opinion, is incredibly talented. Of the many actors who have portrayed Martin Luther King Jr., he's the actor who was most convincing to my eyes. If you haven't seen the movie "Boycott", it's not to be missed.

 

damn powermoves..

i forgot how good of a character "peoples" was

i may need to watch shaft again
