Tyler Perry is doing his thing

[xxxbishopxxx]

It's not hate to point out he's selling garbage movies and ideals to the community. Not all money is good money.

What garbage ideas his he selling? I know people get mad about Medea, but he has done lots of other projects as well. Yes, they are hard to watch sometimes (there not made for me). However, the films I have seen didn't offend me.

As to Medea, his black audience loves her. White people arent going to see Medea movies. So is it his fault for playing the character or black folks who pay to see him play her?

 

[Non-StopJFK2TAB]

At the end of the day, he does own all the rights to his projects and well as the studios that produce his projects. The dude is making a killing. Personally, I never understood why people hate on him so much.

People who hated on Black Panther because of Disney should be giving praise to Perry.

Is he successful? Are we crabs?

Now you have your answer.

 

[Non-StopJFK2TAB]

If he was so proud why wait until the numbers release for this not so humble brag?

Because he wasn’t fucking pay attention to the threads. He was out making money and not talking about it.

 

[ZuluSam]

Faggot coon had to throw his name in the mix. It must have burnt his soul to see those BP box office numbers

You are projecting. They shot the film at his studios...you think that shit was free???

Black Panther was shot at his studio...

...and yall callin him a coon.

Says a lot more about them than him.....kneegrows is kneegrowing....

 

[ViCiouS]

So instead of realizing and celebrating the lengths Coogler and them went to to make sure as many black folks as possible got paid in all aspects of the making this film, y'alls first instinct is to shit on TP?

Black Unity my ass.

fuck that - no one gets to walk away from their history

for 1 instance TP has a blatant history of colorism in his films, and supporting poverty pimps - and that's just a start
TP was probably pulling up on Coogler asking why T'Challa wasn't a Shemar Moore type? Why isn't Killmonger darker?

but now pillow biter wants to crow about a movie built around a black cast unlike any he has or will ever put together?

 

[ViCiouS]

I agree with you but really on the bold part

 

[ifuno]

Contrary ass bgol. Errryday We need to We should We ought to make our own. Here is a brother creating his own black Hollywood on a larger scale than anyone before him

Who else has given more blacks work? Hell now he don't need to even borrow there fucking studio to shoot and y'all still complaining.

Real shit. As much as I hate Madea flicks I always give it up to Tyler for giving actors opportunities, helping maintain and/or resurrecting their careers.

 

[Shadow22]

I already knew that. But it's mostly black students that attend them. I was saying they can shoot black films at the HBCU schools so that some of the resources can go toward the funding building up the schools. Black high schools as well.

Nigga Please stick to York and Ryerson universities. Schools that are locally within your area and u have a modicum of a clue about.

You clearly pulling bs out ya ass.

They already shoot at HBCUs . Ive seen parts of my university in films that have won Oscars with an all majority cast.

 

[Amajorfucup]

Because he wasn’t fucking pay attention to the threads. He was out making money and not talking about it.

What threads? The man dont need threads dummy. Its his real life. He says the shit was filmed on his lots.. Filming concluded a year ago. Where was the social media promotion and self congratulatory posts between then and now?

The move just reeks of front running flamboyancy.

 

[thundercat]

It's not hate to point out he's selling garbage movies and ideals to the community. Not all money is good money.

True, but I'm so beyond Tyler Perry and his content at this point. Look around, we have thriving television shows and feature length movies that are high quality, well acted, well produced, and critically acclaimed. Let Tyler have his lane. I look at him like I do new hip hop. I'm not his target demographic, but some people enjoy it, so fuck it.

Maybe he wasn't trying to take the shine away from Ryan and his crew. Everybody is getting props so announcing his studio involvement now doesn't take anything away from what Ryan and his crew has done.

Truth be told, it probably helped that he didn't say anything. Otherwise, you have people thinking Black Panther was a Tyler Perry movie, not understanding that they just used Perry's studios.

[Amajorfucup]

Maybe he wasn't trying to take the shine away from Ryan and his crew.

But it wasnt no shine to take away. Thats kinda my point. NOW, would be when one could say hes trying to take away shine or hope on the bandwagon.

Truth be told, it probably helped that he didn't say anything. Otherwise, you have people thinking Black Panther was a Tyler Perry movie

Now this is a sound point. Sound point on your part. Im certain that wasnt his reasoning behind it. Perry is just on some "look at me!!" shit with this.

 

[MrSid]

Three letters NDA . Could have bound him until movie was out .

 

[ORIGINAL NATION]

If black panther was shot there it is all part of making money. I guess it is like a night club or strip club. The more people rent out the club for events the more money goes into the owner of the club pockets. And that is guaranteed money when any night could be a slow night without hardly any profits. That is what his studio is in business to do make money.
If I had a chance I would tell all blacks making hundreds of dollars that they know we did not come over here on the mayflower. And that I am trying to build a nation for blacks here in the dirty south and so far I am the only one paying dues. And ask them if they desire to kick in.

 

[thundercat]

Why would a studio sign a nda to keep them from talking about projects using their facilities? It's not like it was a secret. It was filmed there....big deal.

 

[geechiedan]

Ya'll can snark all you want...10 years ago I didn't think a movie like Black Panther was possible (I remember posting the rants) and I was pissed that TP wasn't using his clout and facilities to make this kind of movie happen..

guess what.. IT WAS MADE AND HE HELPED MAKE IT... DEAL WITH IT.


In our lifetime we saw (so far) a black man as president and a full on big budget black cast superhero movie accepted WORLDWIDE..

progress IS being made...maybe not at the pace or manner we would like but it IS happening.

lets at least be happy in that shit.

[dtownsfinest]

Yeah that rant made no sense at all. Black Panther's $200+M budget was more than the budgets of every Madea movie COMBINED!
Maybe Cane had a chance to date Tyler Perry's mama back in the day and is still salty about missing out on that step daddy money...

To his credit....his films cost about 2 million to make unlike the 200 million this cost.

People don't like Tyler....but he's silently done this well and shouldnbe inspiration. Now his films.....they are what they are.

 

[BDR]

Didn’t disney put the 200 mill up for the movie? So I’m assuming the movie was done in Disney studios

Now why Mr Perry trying to take credit?

 

[BDR]

If he was so proud why wait until the numbers release for this not so humble brag?

That’s cause his black ass is frontin.. BP wasn’t done on his studio..

Disney put the 200 mill up for the movie so that means the movie was done on Disney studio grounds

 

[BDR]

that’s what I’m talking about flame the fuck out of that chump TP

Ok, so you think he made a public tweet, tagged two stars of the movie, and then LIED about it?

SMH. #BGOLLogic

I checked IMDB, his studio is not listed, but it does have one of the film locations listed as Atlanta, Georgia.

Not saying he lied but TP attention whoring

So if TP says there was filming there and you say "BP wasn’t done on his studio", what exactly ARE you saying?

 

[comment101]

That actually kind makes sense in a way. Im not sure if they pay places to use their location though. I think, its probably more of like an "honor" and publicity thing for the locations they pick to film in. I mean, i guess places like hotels would charge you or, like the white house, maybe.

 

[comment101]

I would tell you, you are wrong and need to do a little more research.

By the way, even the ones that were, provided a quality education that your favorite SEC football powerhouse refused to provide until popular opinion forced their hand.

Absolutely correct. But the fact remains that factual evidence is readily available to support my assertions for some of them.

 

[BDR]

So if TP says there was filming there and you say "BP wasn’t done on his studio", what exactly ARE you saying?

What’s your investment with TP? Everyone knows TP got his own studios so why is he trying to take credit for a marvel film being done on his studio lot? Shameless promotion when he don’t even have to do it

Deflection. I didn't think could provide an answer or say you were wrong.

I’m not deflecting anything I said what I said.. the question is why are you so triggered over TP attention whoring

hell'errrr Black Panther y'all can set up filming in the soundstages I built for you over there..you can thank me later...

 

[Camille]

I’m not deflecting anything I said what I said.. the question is why are you so triggered over TP attention whoring

I'm not triggered. It's not even about TP, imo. That one BP thread is full of black folks saying they can't support this movie because enough black folks aren't getting paid for it and the money isn't going to the black community. At the same time there are all these hopes and expectations that if black people see BP, they will be inspired to come together and work together, and have our own self sustaining economy. Then I see this thread. LMAO @ the hypocrisy. Y'all the first ones who want to talk about group economics, and how we should be helping other black folks and promoting other black folks and amplifying other black folks to build a black economic base. Y'all want to be the first ones to say we should go out of our way to patronize black businesses and grow a black economic base. Do any other black folks own a studio?

Now we have Coogler setting the example, from the makeup and costumes and studio, trying to get as many black folks as possible paid, the freaking MC Hammer of Hollywood trying to take everyone along, and all this black unity, black economics stuff went straight out the window because y'all didn't like one of the particular black people who benefited. Is it group economics or not? Y'all wanting to pick and choose what black folks are part of the group in "group economics" is BS. You don't want to see black folks do well, you want to see certain black folks that you approve of do well. All that fake black power, black unity, black empowerment y'all sprout and use as a cudgel to criticize folks and tell them they aren't doing enough for black people and how black people can never come together just got exposed in this thread. Don't be mad at me for pointing it out. This type of rhetoric is part of the problem, not the solution.

If TP had said something before the movie was released, y'all still would have had a problem with it. It needs to be known though so the example of cooperation, and black folks helping other black folks come up, can be set for others. Coogler isn't just talking about it, he's doing it. I'm glad he waited. If he had said something earlier it would have been used to low ball expectations or talk trash about the movie before it was released and possibly reduced turnout. I'm sure he is aware of how he is perceived by other people. Now that his participation is known, maybe he can get some other work for other major, high quality productions.

If TP would have said something before hand over a year ago nobody would not have had a problem with it as the movie was being filmed.. when no one knew what the finished product would look like

 

[godofwine]

It's not hate to point out he's selling garbage movies and ideals to the community. Not all money is good money.

The first couple of Madea movies had good points so I was able to overlook the stepin fetchit nonsense that to me is in comedy or funny, just unnecessary over-the-top bullshit. When that ship became too much Madea and not enough story it became bullshit that was intolerable to me.

I'm Different, I don't watch reality television. I consider it dumb television, for dumb people. Real Housewives of Atlanta, drama and bullshit, and people who supposedly have money acting as absolutely ghetto as they can and I don't like watching my people act ignorantly

That said, I support Black owned and Black group economics, so no hate on TP from me about his studios

 

[Camille]

I don't believe you. We'd have the same stuff and worse as what is in this thread now. Y'all would have been saying Coogler shouldn't associate with him, hoping and praying that he wasn't influencing him in anyway, and talking about how shitty the outcome was going to be because TP was involved. Y'all would have been complaining saying stuff like this is why black folks can't be taken seriously, and all sort of predictions of how ghettoized the production would be and all over social media trying to tear him down and sabotage everything, even though he only gave a space to make the movie and has said nothing at all about having creative input. Sadly, part of the reason is because even as a black person, when it comes to what we produce, y'all still have low expectations when it comes to quality and excellence. Y'all worse than white folks some times.
