I can not wait for 'Dolemite Is My Name'

Baadasssss! is less of a comedy than this seems to be. More of Mario Van Peebles taking a fairly unblinking look at his father within the confines of hagiography. Excellent film.

He did say, “Put your weight on it!” in the trailer…definitely a nod to the opening to Disco Godfather.

I’ve tried to watch Dolemite three times now, and I just can’t make it through to the end. I’m watching it sober, though.

makes me want to go watch I’m Gonna Git You Sucka again!

So many great bits in that blacksploitation parody, so many great actors too!

Check out this cameo by the girl who goes on to profess her knowledge of UNIX in Jurassic Park:

IIRC, Eve “Jan Brady” Plum plays the mom, no?

Only just now noticed that’s Giancarlo Esposito standing behind Billy Ray.
