Thats something that I have noticed about Marvel movies. When you expect them to be lame, they end up being good. and when youre hype for them, its disappointing.

that being said, I'm mad because they had 2 post credits scene and i stayed for one only lol wtf

Just my two cents as a white man: I don't think twerking helped Miley Cyrus' popularity, if anything twerking earned the "trash"-label because of her, not because of black girls to be honest. While not really following their music, I also don't see how some black girls twerking helped Taylor Swift or Katy Perry in any way.

As for the #whitegirlsdoitbetter garbage, that's jealousy, nothing else. Black girls have some very sexy features and two of them really show when twerking: 1) Great rhythm and athletic ability to perform it and 2) great a**es. When a black girl twerks, chances of me getting horny are significantly higher compared to a white girl simply due to these facts.

These insecurities on both sides of the fence are the main reason for the tension between the two races. Some white people always fear that black people being successful takes something away from them, while some black people will scream racism at every opportunity and respond in stupid manners such as the Eric Garner challenge. In my opinion, this is the foundation of everything that's being built on top of it, the jealousy, the hatred etc.


Well, I guess. Its not really about getting guys horny? I think we're okay in that department :lol: Its more about respect and not being demonized for just being who you are and doing things that are apart of your culture. I think at the very least if that part of the equation was happening, no one would care how much white women joined in or perpetuated it. Because then it would be an "imitation is the highest form of flattery" type of thing. But when you shame me for doing the same thing you now call edgy on yourself, its just disrespectful.

And it did help Miley's popularity. She got a couple of hit songs out of that increased fame and she won Best video that year. Ironically there is yet another controversy going on right now directly relating to all this. Its just crazy times. I don't ever remember there being tension like this before (granted I'm not even in my 30s yet, but still).

By that I simply meant it looks a lot better when black girls do it from a male perspective. :lol: But yes, you are certainly are okay in that department even without the twerking. ;)

I think the hit songs would've come either way. The twerking is obviously a part of the image that has changed, but I don't think it had such a massive influence. All I wanted to say is that in her case, it looks like garbage whereas in other cases it doesn't.

man........ I am so far behind on the superhero movies, lmao..

I did see Jurassic World though. It kind of reminded me of Godzilla (the new one) at certain parts toward the end.

LeBron remaking Space Jam really bothers me. First because he's simply not on that level and never will be as a basketball player #sorrynotsorry, but also that was one of my favorite movies growing up. I don't want it to be ruined like they've ruined other classic movies with all these remakes

He's the best player in the world. The only other person I could imagine doing the movie is Kobe Bryant. He absolutely is on that level. He dictates free agency every year.

Putting your lebron admiration aside. I think the greater point is why do a remake - basically copying MJ. He could have at least done a Space Jam 2 or being as it's a cartoon something original.

I guess it sums up Lebron, Kobe must be smarting.

BTW Lebron "dictates" FA every year because of his greed and need to be the centre of attention every year. No other top 100 player goes into FA EVERY YEAR. He could just take the max and believe that his FO are going to do their best with signings. If KD or AD or a number of other players went into FA every year then he wouldn't dictate it. They just aren't so power oriented or egocentric.
