my favorite movies to quote

My best friend and I often respond to one anothers daily bullshit mishaps with movie quotes. It’s our own way of turning something seemingly maddening into something entertaining. Sometimes you just gotta do shit to get you by. And I know we’re not the only ones who do it because I see quotes fly through twitter on a regular basis. So here are my top ten go-to movies for quotables (in no particular order)

1. Friday
There are so many in here that I can damn near recite the entire
movie backwards. I used to watch this movie everyday in college.
The most used are “I know you don’t smoke but I’m gonna get you
high today” “The weed be lettin ya know” “Weed comes from the
earth” “Who is THAT bitch” “You ain’t got to lie Craig, you ain’t
got to lie”
2. Coming To America
This one is chock full of good ones too from the song, “she’s my
queeeeeeeeen” to “sexual chocolate”
3. Boomerang
Remember the part when Halle Berry and David Grier were saying
good night after their date and they’re going back and forth? I
rattled off that foreign line that she used at this dude after a date
one time and he looked at me like I had just gone completely
apeshit. I hate dudes that have no sense of humor…
4. White Chicks
“I’m about to have a BF” (bitch-fit) was most commonly used at
my last job and it came in handy quite a bit.
5. Pulp Fiction
Sam Jackson was throwin ‘em out in this one. There is no music
sweeter to my ears than to hear him yell and say MOTHAFUCKA
Also, “let’s not start sucking each others dicks quite yet” I get a
lot of people with that one when they get all excited over silly
shit.
6. Belly
I gave this chick the speech one day that T-Boz gave Keisha and
while I was glad that she got the reference, she still continued to
date the clown. Message completely lost. But I also love to use
“What the fuck is wrong with this nigga? That’s your man, that’s
your man” when someone has an idiotic friend.
7. Office Space
The “Oh Face” definitely. No explanation necessary.
8. Pineapple Express
“Time to suck today’s dick” is always good for a Monday morning

This is a song reference but I used it frequently when me and my girls
are on our way to the club…

GET YO AZZ IN THE CAR BITCH… (c) Too Short HA!

Please feel free to share your quotables as I will be needing them in my daily life

keri hilson’s diss track – “turnin me off” remix

I heard this yesterday on V-103 and I wasn’t going to post it because I truly can not stand diss tracks.  It is so late 90′s to me and it will never push me to buy an artist’s upcoming cd.  I am surprised that this is coming from Keri Hilson who seems to be very mild-mannered and should not have to resort to such means.  But like she said, she just had some shit to get off her chest.  Everyone thinks it is intended for Beyonce and Ciara.  Ciara I could see because she has written many songs for her. but Beyonce?? That would be completely out of left field.  Not that I’m completely jocking Beyone, but Keri does not have enough ammunition to go at that one.  But she has also written many songs for The Pussycat Dolls so it could be them too.  At any rate she’s still one of my faves out there doing it so…

harlem heights – not really impressed

So there was a lot of hype around this new series on BET, Harlem Heights.  I’m not going to lie, I was slightly interested, mostly because it’s fakereality tv and also because I was impressed with the show Somebodies. I figured they were onto some new stuff and that from here on out, they would put out quality content.   The only time I actually watch BET is on Saturday’s when I’m getting ready for the day and they’re showing reruns of Keyshia Cole’s show and to watch Baldwin Hills (I know, I know).  I most definitely can’t do 106th and Park.  I can’t believe that they’re still on the air, or at least Roxie.  But back to the subject at hand…I was led to believe that this would be a refreshing look at sensible, young black men and women trying to make it in life.  I was proud that there would be a proper representation of us on the air and was eager to see what professions they were pursuing and to see what their daily life in New York was like.  That was about 3 weeks ago.  Since then, I quickly forgot about it.  But I got home from work last night and flipped through the station and lo and behold, there it was.  I tuned in 15 minutes after it started.  Keep in mind that I watched both episodes half-heartedly.  On the opening episode one of the characters is having some heart wrenching conversation with his Dad about getting his shit together because life is pretty much hopeless after age 30.  OUCH.  It was a rather yawn-inducing scene so I walked out and came back in on the presidential election results.  This was the turning point for me.  Granted, the election of President Obama was indeed emotional and monumental and what have you, but to see these chicks falling on the floor and crying hysterically was a bit too much for me.  I love a little bit of drama in my life, but they were on the next level with this one.  I turned the station and turned back again to see there was a second episode.  This one focused primarily on the chick who used to date Kanye – Brooke Critterdon who I actually think may be pretty cool until she’s side by side with her ghettofab friend, Brianna.  Brianna is like the chick who needs to keep up appearances because she may not have anything else going on in her life.  At any rate Brooke and the worst chick on the show – Ashlie, apparently fell out because Brooke changed after dating Kanye which just sounds like high-school jealousy to me.  I mean, wouldn’t you change just a little bit after dating a celebrity?  You might be exposed to some new shit in life or you might feel a little more motivated to do more with your life.  So be it, but Ashlie strikes me as a chick who was a nobody in junior high and high school and suddenly became half-decent looking and started feeling herself a little too much.  It’s like watching someone who is doing a minute-by-minute photo shoot.   She’s always posing and batting her eyes and drawing out her words.  She makes me want to punch her in her throat.  The only character I actually like is the dude, Jason.  He looks like he’s grimy as hell but he seems to be intelligent and wants to do the right things in life.  Overall, I probably won’t be watching this shit again.  BET, please try again.
