  1. @probert06 thanks for the RTs!12:14 PM Nov 9th from TweetDeck in reply to probert06
  2. basically, the first two minutes of this Dark City clip are indistinguishable from the education montages in #Precious http://bit.ly/4Cbo0Y12:14 PM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  3. RT @danamo: for $2.6 million in kickbacks from private juvenile detention centers, judges locked up 6500 innocent kids http://bit.ly/21UdZL11:30 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  4. RT @djrupture: Brooklyn's Sonic Boom - NY Mag does a Q&A w/ me. talk of Solar Life Raft, WFMU, and 'Why the rupture? http://is.gd/4R1OR8:58 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  5. but we all know matrix is a comic book, whereas Precious is a... comic book style gloss on something Oprah assures is very, very real1:58 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  6. Whereas Neo in the matrix gets to exclaim "I know Kung Fu," Precious gets to say "I know how to read at a 7th grade level"1:53 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  7. Precious' education - i.e. what EW slobbered over as "a birth of soul" - is a Matrix/Dark City style fast-forward brain dump montage1:52 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  8. Unlike Sapphire's book, tho, the journals onscreen are actually closer to tweets1:51 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  9. @desconcentrado that song is definitely radio-stopping-worthy1:43 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck in reply to desconcentrado
  10. Precious' babies/HIV status are tossed around, tripped over, gasped/cried at, but are basically unexamined props to prompt journaling1:42 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  11. actually, the best FX/McGuffin in the movie are biological and sexually transmitted/produced - ie, the babies and the HIV virus1:36 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  12. All that said, though, Precious was DEFINITELY WAY better than District 9, which was ass1:30 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  13. Daniels' most cynical move isn't his amateurish juxtapo of incest and bacon, but his deployment of a "real" diffrntly-abled actor/prop1:25 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  14. Mom is a TV tossing villain straight out of a Road Runner cartoon, perfect role for a comedienne and so not exactly a stretch for Mo'Nique1:12 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  15. Precious is giant, dark teeming with virus yet implacable and indestructible (will she grow up to read Oprah's post-alchemical Secret?)1:08 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  16. Precious is not so much "poverty porn" as "poverty science fiction" where black female bodies function as special effects Norbit style1:03 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  17. If Lee Daniels was a contestant on project runway, judges would say: You're a talented designer, but we question your taste level12:52 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  18. Some lovely ensemble work in class, a nice conceit re letters and journals, a great newcomer turn from Sidibe, but otherwise pretty rote12:51 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  19. the worst thing abt Precious was the hyperbole; actual, middling flick on screen was nowhere as good or daring or reprehensible as billed12:43 AM Nov 9th from TweetDeck
  20. RT @probert06 If the Democrats fucked their supporters any more they'd need to work in the sex trade #HCR [sad "ha!"]7:22 PM Nov 7th from web
