My friend Tom Seymour hit me up today to let me know that he was interviewed about his award-winning documentary, VHS Massacre Too, on the Music is Life Podcast. I was fortunate enough to be featured in the documentary and spoke to issues of Blaxploitation Films and the state of the independent film industry. Tom made it a point to let me know that I got shouted out during a few points in the interview.
Blaxploitation films and Me
Luke Cage: King of the town
As a lifelong comic book fan, and a kid born and raised in Harlem, I absolutely loved this trailer for Luke Cage series. The music from Nas almost made me scream. It was perfect!

Batfleck looks good!
I am so happy right now! And I say that with my knee totally jacked up and elevated! This might be the cinematic Batman that fans have been hoping to see. The action and fight scenes seems off the charts. It looks like they have finally understood that the Batman needs to be the epitome of frightening, a true Dark Knight. Affleck may force me to eat my words, and I couldn’t be more pleased.

Ben might prove me wrong
Those that follow my blog should already know that I am a huge Batman fan and that I wasn’t happy at all with the choice of Ben Affleck to play him in the upcoming “Batman vs Superman” film. However the above preview makes me think that I might have been totally wrong at least as it pertains to Affleck. All I can say now is that I am totally gassed to see this movie.
And notice that I am now referring to him as Ben, and not Affleck or El Headmo. Still he has a really big head. Massive.
