The problem isn't that people crave a "spiritual, mind bending experience" at the movies, the problem is that people don't want to be asked to lower their standards just to enjoy a summer blockbuster.

How ya doing, buddy?

Thing is, I don't openly look for anything that is sexist or racist. I mean look at the movie Friday. Stereotypes and racism abound in that movie, but does it make it alright because it starred a black man? Even then I didn't even look at the movie as racist, and I still don't to this day.

Friday was a film directed by African American director F. Gary Gray about black men starring black people and targeted at black people.

Transformers 2 is a film directed by white director Michael Bay about robots starring robots and targeted at teenagers.

If you can't see the difference then you truly are retarded.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, that's precisely what I'm saying.

On an somewhat related note, who wants to join me in writing angry letters to Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, and Spike Lee for being racist towards black people?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah because when I see white boys pretending to be black the first thing I hear them jiving about is how they don't read very much.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
