ham fisted theatrics

Why write new content when you can have your friends do it? Here's Gregor's review of the new Dave Chapelle movie.

Here's my review of block party. I fuckin loved it. It was like watching this great party sort of take shape, from a bunch of different perspectives. Sort of like Can't Hardly Wait with only black people. The music was sick, with the highlights for me Jill Scott, Dead Prez and Kanye West sort of accompanied by a marching band doing Jesus Walks. There was this sort of eery vibe to alot of the Chappelle stuff, knowing what would happen to him in less than year following the filming of this. He was still effortlessly hilarious most of the time, and I left loving him even more than i did beforehand, but he definitely throws some jokes in there about pressure and wealth. Maybe I'm reading too much into it because of the Oprah conspiracy theory, which i'm prone to believe because it's nutty. (Read the "Chapelle Theory" here - ed.) Regardless, it's probably the best concert film I've ever seen for the way it blends the music, behind the scenes and lead-up to the concert with Chappelle.

To give you an idea of Gregor's tastes, he described "Big Momma's House 2" as "'House, MD' with black people" and "Amistad" as "'Amistad' with black people."
