Men’s Rights & Gender Equality Explored In New Documentary called “The Red Pill” (Trailer)
When the societal scale of justice tips, we expect them to tip towards fairness; to balance the disadvantaged, right? But what happens when the scale tips too far? What’s worse, what happens when the ‘newly vicitimized’ are persecuted for coming forward…let alone for standing up for themselves? Why all this double-talk and roundabout conjecture speak? Because this post is about men speaking up about how they are being victimized by a culture that more and more favors women – at the expense of men.
When a feminist filmmaker sets out to document the mysterious and polarizing world of the Men’s Rights Movement, she begins to question her own beliefs. The Red Pill chronicles Cassie Jaye’s journey exploring an alternate perspective on gender equality, power and privilege.
Intriguing. And now Cassie Jaye no longer even calls herself a feminist. She must have found some deep sh!t. Hit the jump for an extended teaser trailer and expo on “The Red Pill.” And you can get deeper in depth with USA Today on the topic of ‘masculinity under fire’ by following the link below.

It (Teaser Trailer)
Now if you’re gonna mess with a Stephen King classic, you better redo it right… MESS with it, and make sure it’s scary enough to make you MESS your drawers!
When children begin to disappear in the town of Derry, Maine, a group of young kids are faced with their biggest fears when they square off against an evil clown named Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries.
– Warner Bros. Pictures
Watching the trailer. Thinking the remakers are on to something. Might have a shot. Not with us though. Never scared! And we always watch horror movie trailers in the middle of the day with all the lights on around here. Doesn’t mean this trailer is scary at all.
Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets (Teaser Trailer)
New @ValerianMovie trailer is here! @LucBesson's sci-fi adaptation stars @DaneDehaan & @CaraDelevingne https://t.co/s8HjbGo6jX #Valerian pic.twitter.com/ruRahAxYTz
— Hollywood Reporter (@THR) March 29, 2017
So waaay into the future, some things change; but some things remain the same… and go a bit more insane.
Time-traveling agent Valerian (Dane DeHaan), along with his partner Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are charged with maintaining order throughout the universe for the government of the human territories. In this story, their commander (Clive Owen) sends the duo on a mission to Alpha, an intergalactic city where diverse species share their technology and resources for the betterment of all. Cool, right? However, the booming metropolis is also home to sinister forces that jeopardize the future of all mankind!
(Still actually hella cool… for us movie goers.)
Spider-Man: Homecoming (Latest Trailer)
Here we go yo! Spider-Man’s theatrical solo Marvel Universe debut (“Spider-Man: Homecoming”) is on us.
Does the suit make the man? Watch the all-new #SpiderManHomecoming trailer now and make sure to see it in theaters July 7.
Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in there. The Vulture (Michael Keaton) in there. Veterans like them giving young Spidey (Tom Holland) the business from all sides in this extended-length trailer!
Sleight (Trailer)
Have you seen “Get Out” yet? Well, hurry the f**k up maaaan… the producers are coming out with another flick that’s about to make that sh!t the OLD sh!t. Don’t get left behind! This is the trailer for “Sleight” – and it looks like about three movies’ worth of dopeness distilled into one incredible dramatic piece. Watching will have you thinking one thing from the start, feeling that way then changing that up, then ending up in a whole other reality!
(Hmmm… WWE, the ‘rasslin folks, is on board for marketing. And Dulé Hill from Ballers is in there.)
Justice League (Trailer #2)
Haaa! Batman threw out that line from “Kick Ass” on him: His power is that he is ‘rich as sh!t.’
Hey, in pulling together a band of superheroes to defend the Earth against an alien threat, that has gotta help, though. Because… better snacks and stuff, right? But, of course, this coming “Justice League” movie is the next all-in gamble for DC to balance some huge L’s (Green Lantern, and lackluster Batman vs. Superman, looking at y’all). So an epic trailer that hints at a more epic movie-watching experience is a must.
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes – Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash – it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Okay. This will do. Enjoy the trailer. Salivate while you wait on the November big screen debut.
Technology: Looking At The NFL In The Future Through The Microsoft HoloLens (Video)
Microsoft shows us what the future of watching the NFL might be like if we all had a HoloLens in our home.
Man! Looking at this future tech teaser trailer… In the future, inviting folks over to ‘watch the game’ is gonna seem like a DRASTIC understatement! HoloLens could change the game; at least how we watch it.
Charles Oakley Can Stand The Heat, So He Is In The Kitchen (Video)
Peep game… Soon enough, Charles Oakley is gonna be ‘holding court’ in the kitchen! And it’s looking like opponents won’t wanna mess with him there either. Haaa!
No ‘rough stuff’ per se. And the above video is just a rough cut for an old trailer that hints at what is to come. Who new Oak – the former NBA bruiser baller turned courtside cusser – had such flair, debonair (shooting his shot at the Honey next to him) and skills with the whisk and grill? Oh, and in case you were wondering why Oakley would want to cook instead of hire someone for that…
A lot of people don’t like to cook it the way you asked. You have it on the menu, and you say you want it one way, but a lot of chefs do it the way they want to do it. They get it wrong. I’m not mad at them, but when you wait 20, 30 minutes and it’s not right, a lot of times that’s disrespectful to me. When I cook, 95% of the time I know my food is gonna come out great.
– Charles Oakley
For now, the title of the series being pitched is “Oak In The Kitchen,” and scenes for a demo reel to show to networks were filmed over the summer at the New Jersey home of Golden Era emcee Masta Ace and his wife (Leschea). All that throwback flavor involved for a potential cooking show. Nice! Hope it ‘pans’ out (grrrroan).
(Shout to @SoulPhoodie for this story.)
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (HBO Trailer)
I’m from Tuskegee y’all. I swear to you this trailer give me the feels like this movie will have elements of the infamous Syphilis Study that took place there. Injustice, incredulity, and infighting (though apparently not enough) left those Black men with no care and no hope; even when they had no real knowledge of their plight… until it was too late. I am really hoping for a happier ending here.
Science took her cells. Her family reclaimed her story.
Oprah Winfrey and Rose Byrne star in this adaptation of the critically-acclaimed book. HBO Films presents The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks Saturday, April 22 at 8pm on HBO.

Either way, it looks incredibly compelling. I will be watching. Join me #HeLaCells

Naked (Netflix Trailer)
Mm mm mm. Why not have sexy azz Regina Hall waking up in the raw on the elevator though… because equal rights!! We’re here for you, Regina. WE support your right to bare(ness), even if Hollywood doesn’t (haaaa)! For seriously though, this trailer is like that Bill Murray “Groundhog’s Day” movie mashed into everyone’s worst wake up at school in your draws (or less) nightmare. What is it with that dream anyway?
When Rob Anderson (Marlon Wayans), a charming man-child, arrives in Charleston the night before he is about to marry the woman of every man’s dreams, Megan Swope (Regina Hall), he hasn’t written his vows, learned the steps for the first dance, or even remembered to bring the ring. Instead of taking care of his responsibilities, Rob goes out for a night on the town with his best man (Jonathan Todd Jackson). Then something unexpected happens… Rob wakes up naked in an elevator with no idea how he got there. When the elevator doors open Rob is shocked to find that it’s late in the morning and he has only one hour to get to the church or miss his own wedding. He tries desperately to get to the chapel, streaking through a city marathon, stealing clothes, avoiding capture by local police, a near death confrontation with a vicious motorcycle gang, and many other obstacles only to find himself waking up in the elevator again and again. Some unknown force has conspired to make Rob live this hour repeatedly until he finally grows up and becomes the man that his amazing fiancée deserves to marry. On Netflix August 11.

Netflix is winning. Ought to be hilarious!
Queen Nanny: Legendary Maroon Chieftainess (Trailer)
You watched the ‘Roots’ redux that came on TV last year, right? That part when Kunta Kinte and other enslaved Africans were rebelling on the ship on the way over, then trying to set off another uprising when they reached the American shore… Even knowing the outcome, with a history of centuries of slavery to come, in your heart of hearts, didn’t you yearn, with an aching heart, for those warriors to win the fight for freedom?? Alas, it was not to be in America, but…
That sh!t happened in Jamaica! Our brethren stood up against their British oppressors, scrapped with ’em and scuffed ’em up! And they WON their freedom!! What’s more, they got it done decades before our struggles in the States. Watch the trailer of a film about that war and its leaders, esp. “Queen Nanny: Legendary Maroon Chieftainess.”
Official trailer of ‘Queen Nanny, Legendary Maroon Chieftainess,’ a one-hour feature documentary “that unearths and examines the mysterious figure that is Nanny of the Maroons – one of the most celebrated, but least recognized heroines in the resistance history of the New World. The film also sheds light on the incredible resistance movement of the Jamaican Maroons, led by the indomitable 18th century military genius, Nanny of the Maroons. A spiritual leader, skilled in the use of herbs and guerilla warfare tactics, from her mountain stronghold at the source of the Stony River in the majestic Blue Mountains, she directed the warfare that effectively neutralized the vaunted British firepower. Following on the heels of Akwantu: the Journey (2012), Anderson’s award-winning film on the history of the Jamaican Maroons, Queen Nanny expands on the story of the New World’s first successful freedom fighters by shedding light on to one of the leading figures in that struggle.”
Raise Up: The World is Our Gym (Trailer)
You know the crazy pull-ups and push-ups, frontwards and reversed, with acrobatics and flair thrown in there, that you’ve seen them on movie screens and Internet spots? Well, those are street calisthenics… and they have become a movement and a movie. Check it.
An underground urban fitness movement risks losing its identity as a social tool as it rapidly becomes a new international sport.

What you should take away: Parallels to Hip-Hop. Something else comes up from the streets, lives around the way, gets blown up and goes worldwide (good) and commercial (not so good in some ways); and the culture is worried that its true and best self (e.g. its essence) will be lost.
Watch the trailer.
The Rap Music Generation Gap Debate (Teaser Trailer)
Interesting convo here… Maybe enough room for everyone to get their views appreciated and get mad during the course of it. Great look to have Scarface in there as a student of the game AND an O.G.
Rappers from 90’s go head to head with new rappers to talk about the state of music. The panel discusses whether current artists should be students of “the game” and study the older generation and respect what came before them. They also talk about how to stay financially-secure because not all artists stay “hot†their whole career. Find out their thoughts on the state of Hip-Hop.

Haaaa! Pete Rock snapped a bit, but Vince Staples got right back. And this is just a teaser. See the whole episode on go90 here
Geostorm (Official Teaser)
A couple of things… Star Trek: The Next Generation included planetary control tech in several episodes (read: we control weather in the future), and megabucks Bill Gates, aka The Nerd King, filed a patent for weather control tech way back in 2009 (read: the future is now). So, the geeks are already into this game deep. Now, all Hollywood has gotta do is not f*ck up a story we’ve been so ready for for so long.
After an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened the planet, the world’s leaders came together to create an intricate network of satellites to control the global climate and keep everyone safe. But now, something has gone wrong — the system built to protect the Earth is attacking it, and it’s a race against the clock to uncover the real threat before a worldwide geostorm wipes out everything…and everyone along with it.
– Warner Bros. Pictures
In the movie “Geostorm,” Gerard Butler stars as Jake, a scientist who, along with his brother, Max (played by Jim Sturgess), is tasked with solving the satellite program’s malfunction. Lots of world-getting-f*cked-the-f*ck-up action in the trailer. Good start for the promo run.
Boy 23: The Forgotten Boys Of Brazil (Trailer)
Damn. Too bad Magneto could not stop off in Brazil on his way to Argentina to deal with the Nazi bastards who did this, too. But this isn’t X-Men: First Class, this was real life. This was shameful. Powerful movie trailer about “The Forgotten Boys of Brazil” above; where the Nazis pushed their supremacist agenda and made slaves of Black people outside of Germany.
Boy 23: The Forgotten Boys of Brazil (Menino 23: Infâncias Perdidas no Brasil )(2016, 80 min), by Belisario Franca – Bricks, with the Nazi swastika, found in rural Brazil reveal the horrible true story of orphaned children who were enslaved in Brazil during the 1930’s – victims of a criminal project of eugenics. (In Portuguese with English subtitles).
Deadpool 2 (Teaser Trailer)
Ryan Reynolds Tweeting and YouTubing about the “Deadpool” sequel is everything. But a Stan Lee cameo… in the trailer… EVERYTHING! “Shut up, Stan Lee!” Hahaa! But wait, see the billboard for the old theater across from the phone booth? “Logan” is playing (talk about timing). And Deadpool cracking a joke shot at Hugh Jackman near the end, while resting on a dead victim (talk about comedic timing).
Hold up. Back up. Dead victim? Wait what??
Yeah, watch this oh-so-wrong-but-just-right “Deadpool 2” teaser… several times for all the ‘Easter eggs’ in it (besides the ones we have already mentioned).
