REZIDUE: Lost In The 80’s…

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

Editor’s note: I know that we aren’t deep enough into baseball season to bring out the metaphors yet, but this drop from MAURICE G GARLAND over at Rezidue is a home run. To keep shit basketball we could call it a slam dunk. Enjoy.

With the Lakers and Celtics set to play in the NBA Finals, my suspicions have finally been confirmed. We are officially stuck back into the 80s.

Really though, look at it:

***A George Bush is in the White House.

***1980’s Movies are being remade.

Transformers

Indiana Jones

G.I. Joe (yes, that is Marlon Wayans)

***Rappers Sounding and Dressing Like This.

The Cool Kids

Life The Great

***Drug Epidemics

Seeing that Doug Collins will be coaching the Chicago Bulls again, I’m predicting that the 1980’s rehash will continue. I just hope good shit than bad comes back. Because something tells me when they finally get around to bringing Starter jackets back out, niggas are gonna go back to shooting for them. I also hope they keep mindless gang violence in the closet too, no need to bring that back. Oh yeah, they can also keep Jheri curls. Even though I had a couple pair of “Burger Kings” back in the day, I can’t say I’m hyped about seeing them return either. Nintendo’s (Wii) are back hot again, so that must mean that Atari is about to come back too.

Some of the things I hope to see return are:

$1.50 for gas
.75 cents to ride Marta
Berry Blue Kool Aid
Hawks in the Playoffs Semi-Finals
An influx of Intelligent Rap Music
Me not having to pay bills

What do ya’ll think?

THE AIR APPARENT?

BRYANT still has to win a ‘chip without SHAQ, but after he does, and he WILL, does the prodigal son return home?

This guy was left for dead.

Even worse than MICHAEL VICK.

Just like VICK though you couldn’t argue that he brought that shit upon himself.
Still and all I mean, c’mon?


“America is a racist country. The end.” – (c)TRACY MORGAN

So here he stands on the precipice of greatness again(read: MAXIMUM commercial viability).

These are the moments that you love the game for.

Any game…

  • Baseball.
  • Rap music.
  • Skelly.
  • Can he be legend?

    Dropping 81 points isn’t too shabby.

    Fifty + points in a Finals…

    Chuuuuuuch.

    And why not?

    The only thing that can stop BRYANT is BRYANT.

    That the Lakeshow which surrounds him is also nice with theirs is what I find scary (read: LA>>>Knicks).

    BRYANT is so good that even the most diehard Knicks fans are now brushing his wigs. SPIKE LEE, takes his documentary cameras and goes 24/7 with the megastar to see what his days, and nights are all about. [ll] to any footage indicating total family nudity,

    kidd

    And extra[ll] to any tape of him leaving #2’s

    Sonn did drop deuces on GINOBILLI.

    Shitted hard enough to change the nigga name to MANUre.

    SPIKE has been granted some kind of ridiculous access from the NBA and their broadcast partners since they understand that the lil’ homey makes it fresher with no pressure.

    Wasn’t this the game that the Lakeshow rumbled back from 20 points in the hole?

    Korean drummer goes in harder than PHIL COLLINS when he had hair.

    Come to think of it, Korean drummer’s hair acting > PHIL COLLINS acting.

    GO SEE SPEED RACER!

    I can’t remember so many good movies being released in the same summer. It is mind-boggling to say the least. Indiana Jones’ latest installation drops next week, the Hulk is on its way, Star Wars will have an animated feature and lets not forget the Bat.

    If you are concerned about your ability to afford to see all of these flicks in the theater then I suggest you start returning your empty soda cans. Each one of them has previewed a trailer that has been something like a SUGE KNIGHT sighting in the club – lights out. Of all the movies that I had on my list to see this summer ‘Speed Racer’ held the least expectations. At the end of the summer I might just say that ‘Speed Racer’ was the best.

    The WACHOWSKI brothers got this one off biggtime. ‘Speed Racer’ has action and comedy moving at you faster than the legendary Mach 5. What impressed me more than anything was the WACHOWSKI’s fidelity to the O.G. cartoon characters without becoming a camp-fest of nostalgia and nonsense. There have been several movies which were derived from cartoons and none of them hit the mark like ‘Speed Racer’ does.

    You really want to know how good this film is? Chocolate Snowflake, who is my best and most thorough critic is willing and excited to sit through this movie again. C.S. liked ‘Iron Man’ but hasn’t accompanied me to any of my subsequent screenings. ‘Speed Racer’ is silly at times but it never gets off track from its mission which is to prove that determination and justice will triumph in the end.

    I say that the WACHOWSKI brothers got this one off because I wasn’t really fucking with them too tough after learning about how they stole the ‘Matrix’ storyline. Despite the fact that the WACHOWSKI’s cast a gang of Black people as heroic characters in that series. I still felt a kind of way. The truth is the WACHOWSKI brothers operate to their own drummer and they make fucking good movies. ‘Speed Racer’ has Black characters and faces throughout which satisfies my internal NAACP quota and it isn’t egregious or tokenistic. It just is what it is.

    But bigger than all of that was the direction which took this movie to another level. The WACHOWSKI brothers take you into a kaleidescope of colors, shapes and sounds. the car races are about throwing the laws of physics against the wall and just having fun. The fight scenes are better than anything in the Matrix. Nerditry wasn’t lying about this being the perfect film to trip at. C.S. is on her way to San Fran this weekend to see her girlfriend so when the cat is away the mice will play. Well, the mice will trip. I’m copping some IMAX tickets to this joint for Saturday night. Holler at the kid if you are trying to go in[ll]. Go speed go.

    lil kim

    This pic has been floated around on the internets this past week as the cover to an upcoming Lil’ Kim project. Turned out to be a photoshop fake.

    The truly sad part isn’t the religious idolatry either, but the fact that this has been the most buzz Lil’ Kim has had in months.


    BTW, Happy Mother’s Day to all the women that populate DP dot com whether you have given birth or not. The universe emerged from a black hole. What you ladies are holding is something like heaven.
