on Jan 16 2007 08:45 AM In reply to this comment (#853142) You're an ignorant fool. Just because you don't understand something, doesn't mean it sucks. The art of "stepping" (percussive dancing using every part of your body) is part of the young urban culture. I didn't watch the movie so I'm not defending the movie; I'm just saying: you don't understand. If this is what the black youth want to watch, then give it to them. What do you expect them to watch? Eragon? What makes me lose faith in the planet earth is that those damn "Two out of the six writers of 'Scary Movie'" guys are back with another one. "Date Movie" was the worst piece of crap ever caught on film. THAT makes me lose faith in the entire planet earth. (Reply to this) |
