You needn’t go see Obsessed tonight at your local cineplex. I’ll tell you what happens without seeing it…
Varsity Blues cheerleader seduces Stinger Bell with whip cream bikini. Stringer Bell goes home to America’s sweetheart, Beyonce. Cheerleader tries to adopt Stringer’s kids away from Beyonce. Cheerleader and Beyonce have fist fight, resulting in the bloody death of said cheerleader. Beyonce leaves Stringer Bell to start new life as “Independent Woman.” The End.
I could have written the treatment for this garbage. How transparent do movies have to be to placate our most base instincts?
Find a better way to spend your Friday, because this movie won’t help your addiction to “The Wire,” Beyonce’s body or, I don’t know…blonde hoes. Trust me, I am one…sans husband-stealing and emblazoning of racial stereotypes, of course.
Man, fuck Hollywood suits for this bag of farts. They mess around too much longer with these crappy movies, folks are going to start reading again and what not.

Idris Elba.
Career suicide.
see…we looked at this movie completely differently:
blah blah blah
beyonce rolls around with sexy Heroes Bitch..
*the end*
SOLD!
LC,
There used to be a show–back when you were still in diapers called StingRay. The premise was simple: Stingray was a mysterious spy/hitman/Mr. Fixit/one man A-Team who drove a shiny black 1967 Stingray.
The deal was he would fix any problem you had—evil bankers, crazy abusive husband, lost child, vile drug dealers, etc… no matter what, he’d fix it, and his sole payment was you owed him a favor. And as he said in every episode “One day I will ask you to do something for me. And no matter what I ask you, you will do it. No questions asked.”
Im firmly convinced that Idris did business with Mr. Stingray and this movie was the favor. he had to do it.
As for the movie itself, LC… now you have a slight taste of what black women go thru in 95% of the movies that Hollywood churns out–they get these vile stereotypes they have to play or not work at all.
Now comes the crazed blackdick hungry white girl that every ethnic woman knows will snatch the one last good straight employed Black/Brown man in America.
The only thing missing from Obsessed is that Idris isn’t an NBA player.
Welcome to Hollywood.
One more thing,
My biggest problem isn’t the stereotypes—if we’ll accept degrading ethnic stereotypes from hiphop, music and Hollywood, the occasional BBC Hungry White Girl shouldn’t be that big of a deal. (if you don’t know what “BBC” means, don’t ask.)
My biggest problem is that Beyonce can’t act. Jennifer Lopez watches Be and wonders why she can’t get an audition anymore.
L.C. Weber = blonde hoe…
*makes mental note*
I lived this sh*t.
Really.
More $$$ in my pocket….although I do likes the women featured in the film. Yes I do.
Well what can I say……Crazy Blonde White women/Hoes = my favourite.
I don’t know but the crazier the fuckin better. I don’t like the drama but the girls I dig generally bring it.
I have therefore accepted and embraced it. This chic, from obsessed, seems like a walk in the park compared to a few previous encounters.
Prop Jay,
that’s the other problem with this movie…
the blond chick is just well… she’s just blonde. It’s like they wanted a badass white girl but couldn’t find anyone willing to commit career suicide for this bootleg Fatal Ghetto Attraction mess so they just said, “get us a white chick… any white chick.”
I mean Amber Rose probably can’t chew gum and sign her name without help, but she’s got that sorta vibe that if you’re gonna play the racial-sexualized game a lot of “art” tries to play then you use somebody like her.
Hell, Julia Styles needs work. She’d do it. Or even ol girl from Step Up 2… Somebody that you can picture gettin’ at brothas hot or not…
this flick is just bad lookin’ for worse.
Idris Elba.
Career suicide.
===============
or not…he can flop a couple times and just ride out his rolls in The Wire and RocknRolla (sequels gonna be the business)
best quote on flicks like this comes from Michael Caine–somebody sent it to me on Twitter. it goes like this:
“I have never seen it. However, I have seen the house that it built me, and it is terrific.”
—Michael Caine on Jaws 3
If Idris ain’t cut a deal with Stingray, he musta cut one with an architect.
Wee-Bay woulda smacked Bey in the face with their baby when she asked about the temp.
And Stringer…String Bell would’ve called Wee up and had him smack her for him.
*continues watchin Wire reruns*
I saw it last night
don’t forget Idris is on “The Office” now…he’s gettin that network money/shine…he can weather one horrible, formulaic movie…i mean Steve Carell did “Evan Almighty” and he’s doin aiight
Idris Elba.
Career suicide.
===============
Unless the wire comes back this fool dont have no career to kill. Sorry.
@ complexone – read above…he’s on the office…at least for now
Sheeeeeit, even if the wire came back he’s wouldnt be in it. Ha.
I’d smash
No offense LC, but please tell me the movie had Bey say something like, “You cheatin’ on me with that WHITE BITCH!?” Please tell me they did! lmao
Oh and did the audience scream and cheer and say “Watch out, Beyonce. That bitch got somethin’!” LOL! Say what you want, but Black folk can enhance the theatre experience.
“I mean Amber Rose probably can’t chew gum and sign her name without help”
==================================
I’m officially Dead off that one.
I’d smash
