12.04.08 BLACK DYNAMITE IS THE BEST THING EVER
If you’ve seen either of the Black Dynamite trailers I’ve posted in the past (here and here) you’ve probably skipped straight to watching the videos (below) without reading any of this, and that’s fine. You know, sometimes a movie comes out that looks awesome and I get all it excited for it, but then it ends up totally sucking, like JCVD. And that’s fine, it happens. But Black Dynamite continues to look so g’damned amazing that if it ends up not being good it could turn my entire world upside down. I’d quit my job, sell all my belongings, and roam the alleys and backstreets wearing nothing but a bandolier made of dead cats, accosting bewildered strangers, screaming, “You see?? This is why we can’t have nice things!”
Please don’t let me down, Black Dynamite. For those of you who can’t watch the videos, dig the first line: “I shoulda known you’d be behind this, Fiendish Dr. Wu. Your knowledge of scientific biological transmogrifications is only outmatched by your zest for kung fu treachery!” No, but really, dig it. *sigh* You’re so white.
UPDATE: Sony apparently hates it when I talk about how awesome their movies are, so I hate to take the trailers down. Fuck you too, Sony.
Additional info: Premieres at Sundance, January 15-25.
Written and directed by Scott Sanders, who previously did Thick as Thieves in 1998 (never got a theatrical release).
Stars: Michael Jai White, probably best known for Spawn, who also has “Blackbelts in 7 Karate styles, 26 titles including U.S. Open, North American Open, and New England Grand Champion. Studied acting at H.B. Studio, Yale University and Brown University.”

BLACK DYNAMITE IS THE BEST THING EVER
I’m going to wear my Black Dynamite shirt only until it’s released on DVD.
Then, it becomes just another cum rag.
Mental note: Don’t study acting at H.B. Studio, Yale or Brown.
What are you talking about? I think he’s doing a perfect job with this kind of role.
If there’s a reason not to study drama at Yale, it’s David Alan Grier.
I wish i looked like Michael Jai White so i could bang hot white chicks.
You’re right, ViLance. I guess I should have taken a better look at Undisputed 2 or Why Did I Get Married.
Michael Jai White is the black
Billy BlanksChuck Norris.Michael Jai White is like Cuba Gooding Jr. without an agent.
Dr. Wu has always been overly friendish with me.
And I dig this movie. I really really dig it. Word.
Dr. Wu’s tribe were the inventors of the astronaut’s favorite orange drink.
*corner bound*
No JHC, it’s “Dr. Wu’s CLAN.”
Dr. Wu aint nothing to fuck with
I know. That’s why I didn’t come right out and say Tang, either. I was looking for the play on words angle, but failed.
“Black Dynamite is bad motherf–
Shut your mouf
I was talkin bout Black Dynamite!
We can dig it.”
[Theme from Black Dynamite, sung by Will Smiff]
JHC, you are too fiendishly clever for me!
Hey fags and ladies! Is Step Brothers worth putting in the Netflix que?
Juan, I am to fiendishly clever what Ray Liotta is to clear skin.
JHC, you bet your sweet crucifix holes it is!
New up, with Bale!
Thanks Pauly.
Step Brothers was my favorite comedy of the year.
D’Urville Martin is on line 1, Mr. Sanders.
