I just spent the last 3-4 months working on a deep dive video essay on the 2005 movie Hoodwinked and I’m about to upload it to the YouTube channel for an Esports League.
The Promenade was actually just 1/4th of the Promenade with 2 of the walls being painted to look like it kept going. Kinda like a wile e coyote tunnel.
My major issue with the death penalty is the very real chance of killing an innocent person. People have been wrongly arrested/convicted significant amount of times for mass murder situations, so while on principle I have no issues with the death penalty in mass murder cases… I can’t support it because of the chance of it being the wrong person.
With billionaires, it’s pretty easy to figure out exactly who is the billionaire out of a group of random people… Very hard to wrongfully convict someone of having over a billion dollars.
This is a screenshot from a social media app. I haven’t quite figured out which one since I don’t use it but a friend of mine posts these all the time.
I’ve actually seen Big Money Hustlas (the things you do for love…) and so I CAN talk about the quality of the ICP movies.
The entire movie feels like a group of friends got together and just started recording. Outside of the fact that the character Baby Bear keeps rhyming everything, nothing else feels scripted or rehearsed at all. It really just feels like they had a story idea and recorded every scene improv style.
The movie itself is a tribute to Rudy Ray Moore, the Dolemite movies, and blaxsploitation in general… all things that I am actually a massive fan of. However, the world of ICP seems to lack a lot of black people… So while it’s definitely intended as a love letter to these movies (ICP clearly loves the source material and was trying to show that) the movie definitely can come off a lot closer to appropriation than anything at times. Especially with ICP calling everyone “my ninja” which never feels good to watch.
Overall it’s a movie that I can’t say I regret watching as it showcases all of what I love about a genre that I love but if you don’t care about blaxsploitation or Dolemite then it’ll probably just be the negatives with none of those elements of love showing through.
