Touré on Perry

A quick teaser:

Tyler Perry is certainly on my list of topics to cover in the future. I was browsing this and that today and stumbled upon this video of Touré on CNN discussing the influence of Perry's work. I'm usually not a fan of sound bites or thinly-examined 24 hour news clips, but in this case I'm making an exception.

More soon.

peace.

Two Things That Are Black: Holes and Dynamite

I'm leaning back in my chair tonight.

I just found a fantastic website called NASA's Imagine the Universe. Earlier today I was having a conversation with someone about what happens to time inside a black hole. Looking into it more I stumbled across this site:

http://imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov/index.html

Not only are there theories and ideas on the properties of black holes, but questions about the search for dark matter and dark energy, traveling at the speed of light, and the physics of stars and galaxies. So I'm going to spend some time soaking some of this up tonight.

Meanwhile, I'll be watching the end of this brilliant piece of cinematic excellence:

Perhaps soon I'll get into this movie with more detail. But for now I will simply say this has to be one of the most hilarious, smart, and well made Black American movies I have ever seen. Scott Sanders, the director, is like Spike Lee with a sense of humor. And Michael Jai White is nothing short of outstanding and outstandingly funny. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend checking it out.

peace.
