The internet is amazing, it truly is. It's the great equalizer. Gone are the days where a song or a book or a movie could come out, and the celebrity creator doesn't know what the general population is thinking. Thanks to the internet, you can speak truth to power.
Case in point, Chris Rock. Apparently he's been alerted to the chatter about his film Good Hair on the BV Message Boards... because he addressed the controversy and dissent today in an interview with Charlamagne Tha God this morning. Click here to listen.
Check THAT out real quick and tell me who's catching feelings.
Please note for the record, this hair blogger never said anything about wanting Good Hair to fail. I want black filmmakers to succeed, and continue to make more films that feature our community in a positive and balanced light. If I'm not mistaken, I do believe Chris and Charlamagne are talking about this thread on the BV Hair Talk boards, which was started by readers. So Mr. Rock please understand, this is the voice of the people who read this site. And there's much to be learned from their response.
I've seen Good Hair. And although parts of it made me cringe, I enjoyed Good Hair. Click here to read my review. And in retrospect, not only would watch it again, but if Chris Rock chose to make a sequel, I'd heartily applaud the effort...because there's clearly SO much to examine and discuss about this topic. If he worked with a female comedian on the topic (Wanda Sykes, perhaps?), it could be even more interesting.
What do you think about Mr. Rock's response? Have you SEEN the movie? I'd love to hear your views if you have. Comment away...apparently you never know who's reading!

If you ladies can spend $1000+ dollars on hair weave......then I can spend money on video games.....
If xbox and playstation are kids stuff.....
Then you all are playing adult barbie doll with your fake hair, nails and shoes......
