Hey, hey hey!
First, let me say Thank you Jesus for waking me up at 4:00am this morning to pray. Wow you haven\’t done that in a while. Thank you for watching me sleep at night, and for waking me up to do that job. I admire you Lord, I adore you. I just want to look at you, kiss you, and for some silly reason….. smell your neck.
Thank you for such a beautiful day. Thank you for life lessons that I wake up to daily. I love to learn, listen and love people. Thank you for my growth. I see it Lord, and I Thank you for showing me YOU.
Today my Maxwell ticket came in the mail, and it was SOAK AND WET. Its raining cats and dogs here. Yall know I was mad right? LOL It is funny tho, aint gon be funny if they scan my ticket and it won\’t go through. I know my Virgo self aint gonna stop thinking about it until I call TICKETMASTER on Monday. Its dry now but still.
Well, starting tonight Im doing a 3 part story on Tyler Perry. The Media, The Man, The Movie. Without further due, here is part 1.
The Media
Its fair to say * to me anyway* lol that I\’m one of Tyler\’s biggest Cheerleaders/Fan/Admirer. I absolutely adore and admire this man. But one thing that comes along with him is *The Media*.
Every time a movie comes out I get an instant headache, reading the critics/bloggers columns on his movies. I have a google alert for him, and no doubt my mailbox is always full. I\’m normally the kinda person who really doesn\’t care what anyone has to say about anything as long as I love it. But with them its different. Yesterday I had to beg God to make me close out this one article I read before I ripped into the writer raw. So, I sat at my desk and asked myself, why is it that you get upset when the writers /bloggers criticize his movies?
I realized that I, Lacrease wake up daily to learn. I love to learn. If I go to the store and buy some chewing gum, I will come out of that store learning that the store doesn\’t open on Sundays. That\’s just the type of person I am. I love to learn. No one is like Lacrease. I may not get a lot of things on the spot, but I bet you…….it\’ll come to me. I say all of that to say. I feel sorry for them. When these critics and bloggers go to a Tyler Perry movie, the first thing they want to know is why does Tyler Perry always have his name in front of all his movie title? Please let me answer that one. Please! Because he dayum wants too! That\’s why. There is nothing else to say after that. Its because he can! He did! How somebody gon ask you, how come you put your name in front of your movies? I have my name spelled out on my License plate. I will never ever as long as I live have numbers as my license plate. That\’s my business. That\’s how I want it. I\’m happy to be grown to do things my way. Those same people who have something to say about Tyler putting his name in front of his movies, are somewhere doing them………..OR SOMEBODY ELSE…………..as usual!
How is it that those same people can go to a movie and not come out with a lesson learned? These clowns don\’t get it. And I\’m reading saying to myself are they slow, or dumb? What is it? Hollywood got them so messed up they believe that they are suppose to go see a movie and be entertained all the time. I\’m sorry but ummmm, I don\’t want to go see a movie and laugh all the time. I wanna get something from it. When I get in my car and drive off from the theater, I want to reflect on that movie and say….. WOW I got that!!!!!
Not these people.They want to laugh, and leave the movies just like they came!
I went to see Tyler\’s movie Thursday night Friday morning at the 12:01 midnight showing here in Detroit. I loved it. Later that day * Friday Sept 12* after work, I opened up my mailbox…..OMGOODNESS. I had so many google alerts on Tyler. LOL They just don\’t get it. And you know what? After I read about 12 or so, I had to stop myself because I was getting upset and had to take an Advil. I realized that these bloggers and critics have seen themselves or someone they know in this movie and they are just not ready *to dance* to deal with this kinda story line. When you see THIS kinda movie you are forced to see yourself, your family member, or a close friend on the screen. FORCED! The good part about that is, he will write in a solution for you. And if they are not a person who prays often or have a relationship with God, then critics/bloggers will have a lot of negative things to say. They see themselves, their uncles, brothers, bosses on the screen and they don\’t know how to deal with it.
They don\’t understand Tyler, and I now know that after seeing the movie 2 times. His work is foreign to them. They need constant Entertainment. Tyler is leading people to God, and if they\’re not in that place at that time to see it, they\’ll miss it. Tyler is moving right along, and when its all said and done.. Tyler\’s work will cross their paths, some will reach for the life jacket, others will continue to stay behind. Its all up to them. Lacrease can no longer get upset when they write negative things about her friend. That\’s just the way it is.
I\’m also tripping on the number of screens that Tyler\’s movie is playing on. I\’m still trying to understand why his movie is playing on less screens than Brad Pitt and Jada Picket movie. Then when the numbers are read for the weekend, they get mad when Tyler beat the * name brand* folks out. If they all started out with the same amount of screens, Tyler would put a chock hold on everybody. And they know it. But that\’s okay too, because in not one article did they mention that fact. I have come to realize that it is what it is. And its okay.
Good Night!
