Jordan-15

I had never heard of the movie until I saw it on TV One a couple of weeks ago. it's been playing every weekend. I liked it, seeing how it tells of a rags to riches story. the only thing that bothered me some was the sex scene between Tim Reid's character and the 18 year old girl. It's not their ages that got to me, it's this: 1) Tim Reid was on Sister Sister. You see him more as a fatherly figure these days than anything else. 2) Tim Reid reminds me of my father. he looks remarkably like him. I can't stomach that scene cuz that's like watching my dad...uggggh! I can't understand why anyone would write that in. He seemed to calm down a bit as far as the sexuality between them near the end. He seemed to be more of a fatherly-type after the teen's aunt passes away.

I saw Captain EO on MTV in June of 1995 (exactly 8 years ago) a few months before I turned 13. it was MJTV week, and it was announced it would only be shown once and once only, so I taped it and made sure I got it from beginning to end. believe me, I was not going to miss a thing. My boyfriend now knows how much of a fan of MJJ I am. I own a piece of history. I never saw it at Epcot Center, but he saw it as a child. I'm holding on to this tape. maybe one day my children will see it and feel the energy I feel when watching MJJ dance and sing. this is truly for the Michael Joseph Jackson fan and for those who are just getting into him.

I have never seen anger management. I just wanted to point out (becuz I don't know if anyone else has yet) that this was lynne thigpen's final movie credit before her untimely passing in march of this year.She was remembered in an episode of The District, so I hope she was as well in Anger Management, considering the movie premiered nearly a month after she passed away. I think I speak for all Lynne Thigpen fans when I say:

Rest In Peace, Ella Mae Farmer (The District)

(1948-2003)
