Guest OctoberBlood Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you explain Baby Boy? Never seen it, and don't really intend to. 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.

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
