Ripper Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 *smiles blankly* Does John Singleton hate black people?
Guest OctoberBlood Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 Awesome. John Singleton CAN direct, despite his part in 2 Fast 2 Furious. Alright people, who do you cast? I think Taye Diggs could do a good job.

2GOLD Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Awesome. John Singleton CAN direct, despite his part in 2 Fast 2 Furious. Alright people, who do you cast? I think Taye Diggs could do a good job. How do you explain Baby Boy? Weak script? Why not just use DMX? Even Ebert thinks the guy can act if he's giving a decent script. Or Mekhi Phifer? Although he seems to make everyone who works with him want to punch him from what I understand. Still, he should be an option

You can't blame all bad movies on the director, just like you can't blame bad movies on actors.
ant_7000 Posted March 5, 2004 Report Posted March 5, 2004 Baby Boy was almost "Belly" bad. But what do expect from Tyrese who had lead role.
Lil' Bitch Posted March 5, 2004 Report Posted March 5, 2004 Lawrence Taylor (yes the same football player from WM 11) would be a great person to play Cage.

You can't blame all bad movies on the director, just like you can't blame bad movies on actors. I can't blame one of the worst films I have ever seen on the WRITER/DIRECTOR? Who do you blame it on then. "If you want to kill this mutha fucka dawg, we can put this mutha fucka down....now lets pray..." If that line appears in the movie, and was suppose to be SERIOUS...goddamn that movie sucked.

If that line appears in the movie, and was suppose to be SERIOUS...goddamn that movie sucked. Uh, maybe you didn't understand. I was saying, you can't blame a movie for being bad solely on the director. Maybe it was the actors fault. Or, you can't blame it on the actors. Maybe it was the directors fault. Or you can't blame it on the writers, maybe it was the director or actors fault. I wasn't reffering to Bad Boy, I was just saying in general.

Oh...well then yeah, in general you are right...you never know who to blame. The editors can change a great movie to shit honestly. But John Singleton handled the casting, writing and directing of Baby Boy. I know who to blame on that one.

The movie had potential, but the way the story played out totally contraidcted what should have happened, and there a lot of plot holes and....okay it was bad, but it could have been so much more.

Thats the part when they were going to kill snoop's character, then dude gets baptised after killing Snoop, and everybody else is all happy like that shit never happened. That was one bad movie.
