I usually can’t stand spoof movies. Even the really good ones (i.e. Airplane or Space Balls) seem a bit too self-aware for me to take seriously. In fact, I don’t think I’ve seen a genuine attempt at social commentary through satire since Scary Movie 1. Oh what? You don’t believe me? Are you seriously doubting me? Alright fine. Watch the link below. No seriously, watch it. I’ll wait
Scary Movie 1: Shorty’s Interview
Are you seriously telling me that didn’t hit like, seven different universal truths? Fake bitches who pretend to care about the homeless but don’t? The homeless who don’t give a fuck about food and just want money? Reporters trying to make a buck on other people’s tragedy? The (genius) explanation for the lack of black reporting/reporters in white murder investigations? The presense of (dumbass) black men when the cameras cut on? I could seriously go on and on and on. Anyway, there’s a new spoof coming out that, based on the trailer, I don’t immediatly hate. Click the link below and then leave me a message in the comments. Don’t give up on the clip though, there’s an AMAZING part towards the end that makes it worth it – even if the movie totally sucks!

Solange needs to realize that her niche isn’t this neo-Motown revival kick she is attempting, but as a sprouting gay icon. Why does it take a Freemasons remix to turn Solange’s work into something tolerable and, dare I say, likable? They did an impeccable job on her first single, and have followed it up with a wonderful remix of “Sandcastle Disco.” Solange is doing everything in her power to stay (remain? become?) relevant and thanks to the Freemasons, who are an institution and change the game everytime their hands touch a record, she has a top ten hit on her hands. Alright, its a top ten hit on the dance charts, but that is a lot better than she has been doing.Take a listen, its cute and catchy and is going to be absolutely perfect when Spring returns. I can already imagining throwing up my dingy blinds and letting in the sunlight to this track.
