Can somebody tell me why I can't seem to go see Hustle and Flow in Memphis?
I mean, damn!!! I don't want to go to Peabody Place, because if I pay to see a movie, I want to see the movie...not hear the conversation in front of me while they're on their cell-phone talking to their friends in the row infront of them.
On one hand, I'm glad the people of Memphis are supporting this film.
Hopefully this will bring more films to Memphis, which means more revenue, more jobs, on and on.
On the other hand, I would hate it if the people that see this movie that are not from Memphis, have never been to Memphis and only thought of Memphis as it relates to Elvis Presley and the slaying of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr (moment of silence, please); thinks that this is all there is to Memphis. Just a bunch of Hustlers(well..there is Mayor Herenton), and Underground Rappers (no offense to any fans of Three Six and Eight Ball and MJG).
Memphis can be a great city, if we try. Sometimes I get so mad at my black people in Memphis. I mean, why do you need to take a bottle of Vodka into a movie theater? Is it that serious? Air-brushed shirts are soooooo over, why are we still wearing them. And when you go hang out on Beale St., do you have to have your entire ass out? Come on people, give me a break (give me a break, break me off a piece of that Kit-Kat bar).
