JGL, whom I love, made the best of his part: a sociopathic doctor on Dorff’s payroll. Who’s sleeping, noisily and moistly, and abusively, with Mo’Nique, a crack ho.
I can’t wait to see the title for the video game.
I urge everyone who has Nutflux streaming to watch this movie. It puts Precious: Based on the novel Madea Goes to Hell in a Handbasket by Tyler Perry starring Tyler Perry as Tyler Perry and Tyler Perry as Mo’Nique as a Crack Ho and Tyler Perry as Oprah Winfrey as Tyler Perry in a whole new light.
Obviously, they should have put on the cover of the movie tie-in: Push, a novel by Sapphire; the inspiration for the film Precious, based on the novel Push by Sapphire.
Is this from Gollum’s view? I’d read that.
No, I wasn’t planning on eating today. Or the rest of my life.
Dude! That link is N.S.F. Anywhere, Anytime, Any Man, Woman or Child Living or Dead, Real or Fictional.
Not a fan of Netflicks?
The movie you described simply cannot exist in the universe I occupy. You see, for such a thing to exist, I would have to live in a universe of pure evil and horror, one ruled by the Great Old Ones of the Lovecraftian mythos, where all mortals rued their own existence and prayed for the very destruction of their souls. Only a being of unfathomable monstrosity and inconceivable villainy could create such a movie.
I’m an atheist, so I don’t believe in that stuff. Your heebie-jeebie story of a movie where Cuba Gooding nails Helen Mirren and creates a little suburban assassin family is just a ghost story. A jape, if you will. Nice try.
Break out the tinfoil, RJ, cuz your universe is goin down. If I can sit through that eternal, infinite hell, a punishment I wouldn’t wish on Hitler or Oprah, then you can. Just to prove you can. In fact, I dare you. If you aren’t man enough to sit through *Shadowboxer *without fastforwarding or cutting yourself, then you’re just a weenie little girlie boy.
And, insult to injury, you might soon find yourself living in a universe wherein the perpetrator of this crime against humanity has an Oscar on top of his toilet tank.
Oh shit this just made me remember another detail: during the years they all live in this little suburban country-kitchen breakfast-nook rambler, trading off doing the dishes and mowing the lawn, whenever Cooba has to go out on a job, we see–get this, I am not making this up–we see him dressed in a gray suit and tie, carrying a briefcase, lined up along the railway platform with all the other gray suits, waiting for their commuter train into the city. Now THAT’S biting social commentary. And subtle!
It seems to me that the producers were forced into this by the release of the earlier “Push.” They were forced to do something to rename the film and still keep the book’s audience. So here roughly would be the thinking.
Precious – Title is OK, but fans of the book might not realize they’re connected.
Precious (based on “Push”). Works as an aside, but lots of people only see the title. We need to make this clear.
Precious: Based on Push. Nonsensical. Even fans of “Push” might not understand what that means.
Precious: Based on the Novel Push Better, only it sounds like it’s based upon a new type of pushing. Maybe people won’t understand what the novel is.
Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. Now everyone knows what novel we mean.
: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire:
It reminds me in a way of the film Morituri, which needed to be renamed, but which was already released to good reviews, so was rereleased as The Saboteur: Code Name Morituri
And is a film well worth seeking out. Don’t let “Marlon Brando as a Nazi Officer” turn you away; it’s really a great film.
Or do we? Is it “based on the novel *Push *by Sapphire,” or “based on the novel Push by Sapphire”? If the latter, should we not know the author[ess], so as to prevent confusion with other novels titled Push by Sapphire?
At a bare minimum, it should be
Precious: A Film Based on the Novel Titled Push Written by the Author Known as Sapphire
Couldn’t they have titled it Push Precious From The Train?
Tilt: Based on the novel Push by Sapphire
I loved it so much, I can’t wait for Precious and Preciouser: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire: Electric Boogaloo!
