What the fuck?

whats with this obsession with 50 cent being in this movie

hes not THAT BAD….i liked “Get Rich or…” it wasnt Goodfellas but with Jim Sheridan’s direction & Terry “Sopranos” Winter’s script he was pretty good.
I think of that movie like a 2 hours Sopranos episode

back to this Al/Robert movie

if the character calls for a black, burly drug dealer….why not 50??

hes dealt drugs his whole life

im sure there are better black actors out there…but man u gotta get over it…maybe 50 came cheaper than…maybe Micheal Clarke Duncan or Zeus “Tiny” Lister lol

even WITH 50 in the movie I cant wait to see IT…period.

But would I rather see “an actor” in the role? Of course.
What’s done is done, and, more to the point, the majority of rappers/hip hoppers limit themselves in thier acting roles anyway. It goes in circles: most of them not only take stereotypical roles, but relish in it, because it does not contradict “the image”. Then they will speak out against “stereotypes”, then they will be cast as hoodlums, pimps and crooks because it does not challenge “the image”. Then they call themselves actors.

Every now and then they mix it up and play a street cop.

A big chunk of the problem is in not willing to change the “image” and/or taking on roles that are flushing just “acting” work down the toliet. Another part is the refusal to take any acting lessons, or dropping out of such lessons. For example, Will Smith was mentioned in first comment. Will Smith is an exception because by the time “I Am Legend” rolls out, he’s had lessons, lots of films and Oscar nominations. There are some exceptions. Now, consider Justin Timberlake and his acting. Big difference.

You can put his “music” in with that too, no worries :P

still not paris hilton i guess. thats the only real positive thing outa this picture.
