The Great Wall (First Look Clip)
July 29, 2016
In this case, we are using Hollywood filmmaking to introduce Chinese culture.
– Zhang Yimou
Promising true cross-cultural filmmaking – an American-scripted story told about, and in, China while remaining authentic. Starring Matt Damon, so it should be epic. Watch the piece above for proof. In theaters next year (2017).
But… will “The Great Wall” be accepted? Don’t think [at least] some Asians are feeling Hollywood putting out yet another White-man-saves-the-Asians movie. Even if it is a fantasy flick. Peep the Tweet-heat after the jump.

Nas x Erykah Badu – “This Bitter Land”
July 28, 2016
Stirring. “This Bitter Land” is a bit o’ provocation from the soundtrack for “The Land” (as in CleveLAND), the forthcoming coming-of-age skater movie being produced by Nas and Machine Gun Kelly. The former teams up with Erykah Badu on this track you gotta take at least two listens to.

Justice League (Special Comic-Con Trailer)
July 28, 2016
Stop right there. I’m in!
I need friends.
Agreed, Barry. We all need friends, even Arthur Curry. Haa! Another super-powered trailer tailor-made for Comic-Con. Looks like they are going with the bad azz Aqua-Man for this incarnation of “Justice League.” Big screen, big action. Not sure it ought to be Batman out there doing the ‘recruiting’ but this trailer still manages to tease a movie that looks like it has merit. Take a look.
If you like it, you only have to wait over a year for it to hit theaters in November 2017.

July 28, 2016
Nip Hussle cannot lose! Because he makes the smart moves. Like putting out visuals for fans (and haters) and telling them “Picture Me Rollin.” Featuring OverDoz to do the most over the beat banging beneath this video piece.

Technology: The Skreemr Jet Is Designed To Cross The Atlantic In A Half-Hour (Video)
July 28, 2016
Yoooo! Okay, we posted on the Concorde from back in the day and how it was designed to make supersonic travel a reality. Three-and-a-half hours to hop the Atlantic. Impressive. But how about a new jet concept… one that blows that trip time out the water (so to speak)? We’re talking going from NYC to London in 30 Minutes! Maaaaannn, you could barely get started on that pizza you ordered to enjoy while peeping our posts on here.
Okay, pump your air brakes a bit though Canadian engineer Charles Bombardier’s concept will likely roll out for military purposes before commercial; but still…DOPE! Watch.

Doctor Strange (Trailer)
July 28, 2016
Lotta buzz over a lot of trailers dropped off at Comic Con, as is always the case. Don’t let this one slip by you. Marvel is already winning in theaters, but this trailer teases a comic storyline never brought to the big screen. “Doctor Strange” got a mention as a serious threat to Hydra in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but to seriously roll the dice and make a whole film on the Stephen Strange character?
Yeah. Marvel’s doing it… BIG!

General Steele Speaks On The History Of Legendary NY Street Gang ‘The Decepticons’ (Video)
July 27, 2016
Whenever you can get the real scoop from an OG, an Original Gangster for real, you should do that. That said, you should watch this interview featuring General Steele (of Tek & Steele, of Smif-N-Wessun a.k.a. The Cocoa Brovas).
If you lived through the late 80’s early 90’s in NYC you’ve heard of the ‘Decepticons’. Some might think I’m talking about the infamous villains led by Megatron from the cartoon ‘The Transformers’. The names of the actual people were the same, but nothing about these men walking around NYC was a cartoon. General Steele (a member of the crew Deceps aka The Decepticons) from the legendary group Smif-N-Wessun gives us a brief history on the street gang known as the ‘Decepticons.’

If you ever get frustrated by folks saying, “Protests are a waste of time,” or, “What good is marching gonna do?” this DeRay Mckesson interview is for you. Actually, it’s for the ones who frustrate you; who likely have no better ideas. Wait… actually, it is for EVERYONE who needs to know (or be reminded) why we gotta do this.
Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson returns to The Late Show to share details from his meeting with President Obama, and explain why it’s crucial to take his message to the streets.

What Ever Happened To The Concorde Plane? (Video)
July 27, 2016
This plane could cross the Atlantic in 3.5 hours. In the time you’d take a cross-state bus trip, you’d be across the ocean on ANOTHER continent!! The Concorde gave us supersonic transport. So, with all that going for it, why did this supersonic plane fail? The answer is complicated. Vox’s Phil Edwards investigated.
James Corden Welcomes FLOTUS Michelle Obama And Missy Elliott To ‘Carpool Karaoke’ (Video)
July 27, 2016
Yooooo. James Corden got Missy Elliott to ride along and get in some songs for his Car Karaoke.
See you’d believe that and that’d be a cool enough show. But what Corden ACTUALLY did for this ep is get Missy Misdemeanor AAAAAND First Lady Michelle Obama in to ride shotgun. Off the meat hook HAM!

Images Exposing America’s Racism: The Murder Of Emmett Till (Video)
July 26, 2016
1955. Your parents and/or grandparents REMEMBER this. The killing of Emmett Till happened not even ONE full lifetime ago. Anybody wanting to tell you that revisiting such a ‘distant past’ is divisive, that you should just ‘move on’… well you should. They would have been the same people who would have believed Emmett was ‘flirting’ and that his death was his fault or just a fact of life. The fact is that the loss of Emmett’s life was a TRAGEDY. That a movement found life and strength provides some solace but in no way lessens our sadness and mourning.
Anyone telling you to move on is right. Do it. Move on… AWAY FROM THEM! Anyone telling you that to keep bringing up race, protest or even talk frankly about race-motivated violence against Black Americans that is going on in the same lifetime as the murder of Emmett Till is ‘divisive’… Move on. But remember who they are.
“The irresponsible rhetoric of our President, who has used the pulpit of the presidency to divide us by race and color, has made America a more dangerous environment for everyone.”
– Donald Trump
So, The President, a Black American (whose citizenship Trump consistently contested, remember?), even talking about what has happened to Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, Walter L. Scott, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner or others divides us and makes for a dangerous environment? Hmmm… okay… Glad the cameras caught that tidbit in the midst of your nomination acceptance speech.
Yeah. I heard you RNC. I heard you, Donald Trump. And I am moving on!
But back to the video above: Watch. Grieve. Get focused. Get motivated. Get moving. Get more informed. And never forget Emmett Till!

Release Of DNC Emails Proves Bias Against Bernie Sanders Campaign And Cost Party Chair Her Job (Video)
July 26, 2016
Bernie Sanders says the release of DNC emails underscore the position he’s held for months: party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz needs to go.
(UPDATE: And now she is. Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been ‘quarantined’ and will resign her post.)
Damn, DNC. See why we #FeelTheBern now? Because we feel that y’all are full of that bullsh!t. To be certain, Debbie was just a cyst, the cancer is still within the Democratic Party. Damn and damn it!
To his credit, Senator Sanders is still being the grown up in the room of school gossips: He is still pledging still to back Hillary Clinton and help defeat Trump. Aligned with the party whose leadership tacitly backs those who would malign him.
Wow. Just. Wow. You KNOW the Conservative media and RNC will be all over this, as they should be. DAAAAMMMN!
