I really liked it. I prefer the original name of the film The Invitable Undoing of Jay Brooks - santi Tue, 22 Jul 2008 14:02:15 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/misc/i_m-through-with-white-girls-200807096034/#comment-2576 Well I'll be! So what skin colour do I have to be or hang with to get some peace if I ever visit the Yoo Es of A? Man, Africa rocks, at least on the race front. (Wait, there's tribalism.. and nepotism..and the muppets running things.. aw, never mind) - Muzzukulu wa Nsamba Fri, 18 Jul 2008 04:49:34 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/misc/i_m-through-with-white-girls-200807096034/#comment-2400 Is there any website we can see the movie yet? I'm in Brazil and I like the storyline!!! - Deo Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:59:04 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/misc/i_m-through-with-white-girls-200807096034/#comment-2386 fair-skinned biracial women as "perfection" has been a typical hollywood stereotype it's true, however, I have to date NEVER seen an African American woman of any hue with blue, green and red dreadlocks... I think the point of Catherine's character is way more about how she fit's Jay INSIDE... regardless of her skin color. - happypunk Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:52:54 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/misc/i_m-through-with-white-girls-200807096034/#comment-2343 i really do hate stereotypes..people can't just accept the fact that we are all the same. there are different types of black people, there are different types of white people. if its those typical ' white girls ' that you do go after or get with - thats not because ' all white girls are the same ' it's because u picked the wrong ones. why can't everyone stop bringing race into the subject and just look at everyone as the same instead of...oh look at that chinese guy...look at that white girl..."i moved some black woman out of her house the other day" im sick of it - thisisretarded Mon, 14 Jul 2008 10:04:21 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/misc/i_m-through-with-white-girls-200807096034/#comment-2327 I saw this joint last year at the Atlanta Film Fest and really enjoyed it, and I'm glad the sharp sisters finally submitted it to AfroPunk. Also, I don't think that the character's "perfect black woman" has as much to do with her melanin levels as it does her personality, compatibility, and the similarities between them. Also, their choice for J Sharp to play Catherine, may have been more about the constraints of filming an indie feature in 24 days. Not always cheap to get every person for your cast, and esp. reliability wise if they are a key character you might take the diy route. Even if your portrayal of the character is going to elicit "stereotype" flags. I was actually not impressed the first 15-20 minutes, but by the movie's end I found it a really honest perspective on dating, that I've heard echoed by those in the AfroPunk circles. - RifRaf Sun, 13 Jul 2008 18:46:14 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/misc/i_m-through-with-white-girls-200807096034/#comment-2268 This was a good movie, it touched on a few things personally for me being a 30yr old single black male - Secret Sox Fri, 11 Jul 2008 10:46:54 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/misc/i_m-through-with-white-girls-200807096034/#comment-2260 I saw this as part of the SFBFF.. The movie is crazy funny. just watch it or rent it...Can we step away from the point that all black movies have to deliver a message ... If you can .. you will be free .. free to enjoy the movie - big brown bear Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:43:58 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/misc/i_m-through-with-white-girls-200807096034/#comment-2246 were his comics any good? that's really the only make it or break decision for me to go. - jazzgo down Thu, 10 Jul 2008 20:42:13 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/misc/i_m-through-with-white-girls-200807096034/#comment-2184 I went to the Q&A at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) for the Afro-Punk Festival. I was disappointed at the tenor of the dialogue primarily because the writer, Courtney Lily, seemed opposed to having honest, artistic dialogue. When one women opened up the door to criticizing the film’s title, he “shut her down” in way that rendered her stupid and leveraged the power he had as a sanctioned guest of the festival. If he’s tired of facing criticism for the film’s title (though I do not agree with the critics), get off the festival circuit or take a nap before you show up so you can act like you appreciate that people have paid to watch, ruminate, and respond thoughtfully to your life’s work. In fact, he really seemed like he didn’t want to be there/answer questions until there was critical comment. The director and producer were far more receptive to hearing thoughts on all sides of the issue. The reviewer points out that the film does traffic in stereotypes. That’s not necessarily a problem. The director went so far as to say she was careful not to “make fun” but to honor and satirize at the same time. Job well done. But, the trio was reluctant to admit that the Catherine character (fair-skinned black biracial) is also a traffic in stereotypes meaning Jay’s “perfect black woman” is, in fact, a fair-skinned biracial woman. I question why everyone seemed so reluctant to make this admission. Perhaps, because the film was driven primarily by the actress who plays Catherine and faulting that aspect of the film is effectively shitting where you eat… - fridaholic610 Wed, 09 Jul 2008 17:36:15 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/misc/i_m-through-with-white-girls-200807096034/#comment-2180 I'm in for taking a peak at the movie - Bush Babee Wed, 09 Jul 2008 15:56:09 +0100 http://www.okayplayer.com/stories/misc/i_m-through-with-white-girls-200807096034/#comment-2176 me too!! - korkast Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:58:22 +0100
