This could get quite interesting.
Didio, also check out "Commando" from 1985. It is a typical action/adventure flick, but Rae Dawn Chong's character ends up with Arnold Schwarnenegger's in the end.
MAMA MIA the sista in this vid is GOOOOOOOOOORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would tune in JUST to see her!
Has anyone seen this movie, yet. It's called "Unbowed". I came across the clips on YouTube, a couple of months ago, and it looks really good, but I still haven't purchased the movie yet. it is only available to order from a website I think. Here is a clip from the movie.

Off topic but I recently came across Misfits on Hulu......IR on there...second season.
blackpanthershay I've been meaning to watch Misfits! oh and don't forget Merlin (I LOVE that show)! The woman who plays Guinevere, Angel Coulby, is a biracial woman (half black/half white). You would not believe the amount of hate she gets from a portion of the female audience BUT ALAS the numbers don't lie. When you look at the highest watched episodes of Merlin, they always include the episodes where she and her love interest Arthur (future King) have a lot of scenes. I've noticed several black UK actresses I follow are in roles with interracial love interests :) Look up Freema Agyeman as well (Doctor Who, Law & Order, etc). I believe she met her bf (a wm) on the set of Doctor Who.
shesthedifferencemaker I have seen one episode of Merlin will check out some more
blackpanthershay Misfits is a great show. I was addicted to it for a while. I always end up loving the British tv shows.
blackpanthershay Simon and Alicia in Misfits...Sam and Mercedes on Glee...BWWM relationships seem to be on TV a LOT lately. Loving it! <3
amiar10 I stopped watching Glee, I need to start again.
blackpanthershay I watch Misfits and all I can say to the love scene between the IR characters is WOOOOOOOW. Put a smile on my face. *cough* Anyway, definitely a show worth checking out.
Advertisers and television shows are getting the hint that black women have money to spend and that we want to see images of ourselves where we are shown as being desirable women.
Jamila I think you are correct. And SYFY channel seems to have gotten the message with Eureka and Haven. There is a SYFY producer named JJ Abrams that pushes the envelope. He did Star Trek and pulled that blindside by making Uhura and Spoke the love interest inside of Kirk. That was great .
It was about time that happened. Kirk gets a new girl every planet or starship or alternate universe the Enterprise stumbles upon. Spock deserved to get the girl for once. Only complaint, and it's not really a complaint, is that Zachary Quinto who plays Spock is gay. He's not wired to appreciate that he's getting to kiss ZOE SALDANA.

Well, I think it doesn't matter since it's about the character and not the actor. Too often, straight actors are awarded and seen as brave for portrayals of gay men and women (Tom Hanks anyone?) and a gay man or woman happens to play someone straight (with no trauma or discrimination involved) and it's seen as unfortunate or unbelievable.
I like him as Spock and had been jokingly calling him that ages before he got the role. And he owned it. And I like the character with Uhura. I mean Kirk wanted to be all over that, but then Kirk wants to be all over everyone.
I'm not sure where the relationship between the characters will go in the future, but I think it was great for what happened in the first movie. (With everything happening, there wasn't much time for romance). Can't wait for the next movie!
Jamila
That is definetly good news Jamila!
I was a big X-Files fan way back when. I had a picture of David D. at my desk in Mulder mode and I had a picture of my then boyfriend (now husband.) My boss stops by my desk and glances at the picture of my boyfriend and says, "he looks like David Duchovny" and I said kinda dreamily "I know..." that cracked him up. (PS: Yes, this black girl had pictures of cute white men at her desk! That really irked the black clique at work!"
Lili2009 too cute! hahha
Lili2009 That is cute! In college, the door of my closet was covered in pictures of nothing but white men!
Lili2009 Ha! I love it. Absolutely love it!
Lili2009 There's a leaked clip of Meagan and David working on the mile-high club on YouTube, linked here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Am727TZvo
Rick G Mulder can kiss a sista! :-) I guess I'll have to watch this show now!
Rick G
Okay, I am going to have to figure out some way of watching this season...
Lili2009 Glad you like it. As a devoted IRR advocate/participant myself (and a fan of both David Duchovny and Meagan Good), I'm really looking forward to this season as well.
Rick GLili2009
I have always been a fan of David Duchovny.
Rick GLili2009
Meagan, wow, what a woman!
Ooooookkkkk, Rza from Wutang Clan is acting now? Interesting......
Never been a fan of Megan's. David Duchovny a 'recovering' sex addict in real life; how is this role helping him? hmmm.
I may watch the first episode but the show to watch on Showtime is Shameless which has an interracial couple(bw/wm) and the show is hilarious.
The Loving Story will air on HBO in February; watch the clip http://blogs.indiewire.com/shadowandact/the-loving-story-on-landmark-civil-rights-case-that-overturned-interracial-marriage-ban-to-debut-on-hbo-in-feb-2012
The guy from Wutang has been in a couple of movies. As far as I've seen, he's not bad as an actor, if he has good material to work with. I was wondering about that show Shameless. I tried to watch the UK version recently but I just did not get into it past the first few minutes of the first episode, for some reason. And that one has James McAvoy in it, whom I really like, but I just didn't get into it.
David Duchovney did an interesting movie with Halle Berry as her husband in Things I Lost in the Fire. I also like Something New and Jeremy Renner and Gabrielle Union where in a movie together, the name escapes me, but it was interesting because it took place in a mental hospital.
AdrienneLondonLeach Neo-Ned... ?
PearlAdrienneLondonLeach Yes, that's the one Neo-Ned. Enjoyed Renner and Tom Cruise with Paula Patton in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocal. Sister kicked some serious but and Tom got his kiss.
AdrienneLondonLeachPearl I'm going to see that in a day or two. He's two bi-racial women as leads in those movies, Paula Patton and Thandie Newton. I think Tom has some sort of thing with his crazy self LOL.
Neo Ned was a funny, enjoyable movie. I watched it a couple of times. It's on YouTube as well, I think. Renner is an endearing actor. He and Union were perfect for their roles.
eugeniamitchell, Even though people label Tom as "crazy", I like the guy. I just think he screwed up when he started dating Katie, and ran his mouth off too much. But before that, he was actually a very private guy whom interviewers had to try really hard with to get any information, because he never used to discuss personal things. I remember watching an interview with him and Jamie Foxx when he did Collateral, and he wouldn't give up any info. It was embarrassing for that interviewer, because she was trying real hard. Oh, Tom, how you screwed up and went overboard. Too bad.
I remember Thandie Newton was also in Interview with the Vampire with Tom Cruise. If I'm not mistaken, I think that he is the one who actually asked for her to have the role that she got, because she wasn't a well known actress at that time.
introvertedwanderer Oh I love him too, he's still a little cutie to me just a little nutty. I'm not married to him, I'll give him a pass. LOL.
introvertedwanderer I forgot she was in 'Interview With a Vampire' w/ him and my pretend baby daddy Brad Pitt LOL.
eugeniamitchellAdrienneLondonLeachPearl What did Tom Cruise do that makes people say he is craz
y?
blackpanthershayAdrienneLondonLeachPearl the interview with Matt Lauer a couple of years ago it was just kind of a crazy interview. How he jumping on Brooke Shields for taking meds for her post-partum depression, he should have just shut up. But Brooke forgave him so I do too. He's cool with me still kooky though. But there's lots of kooky actors. I'm not hating on him, he's still gorgeous to me crazy or not LOL. At least he's not as crazy as Mel Gibson.
eugeniamitchellAdrienneLondonLeachPearl Oh I never saw the interview but I think I saw something about the post partum.
eugeniamitchellAdrienneLondonLeachPearl Mission Impossbile was pretty good!!
blackpanthershay AdrienneLondonLeach Pearl We're going to see MI today, I'm excited. You know when I fell in love w/ him after that debacle was when he was in Tropic Thunder, he was awesome in that, that movie was hilarious. So I still love him, can't wait to see it.
eugeniamitchellblackpanthershayAdrienneLondonLeachPearl He was so funny in Tropic Thunder. And he could MOVE, it was the funniest part of the movie. I don't know how they managed to make him look so entirely different. He obviously has a good sense of humor about himself.
I didn't really get into Tropic Thunder, but I thought the character Tom Cruise played was pure WIN. His dancing was definitely hilarious. Tom Cruise is really good at playing quirky characters. I respect him much more as a character actor, than a leading man. I think his serious approach to roles works to his advantage when he plays a quirky part, such as the one in Tropic Thunder, and also when he played the hit man in Collateral. He OWNED his part in Collateral. I remember when Patrick Swayze and some of the other actors who were in that movie, The Outsiders got together to watch and discuss the film, on it's 25th anniversary, I believe it was,,and they talked about how Tom Cruise always took his role in The Outsiders seriously, and his character barely had any screentime, That really told me a lot about how he appraoches things. When he's passionate about something, there's no stopping him, it seems.
introvertedwanderer Tropic Thunder was hilarious lol
Must watch it again soon lol
hmmm dunno if i'll watch, i don't like the thug-y angle. :s
not a film but there was Sheila and Paul on MadMen briefly. I didn't like Paul but I wish they'd kept Sheila's character around somehow.

Anyone ever noticed that Megan Good always get casted as a HOE lmao
One movie that I liked is "My Last Five Girlfriends" you guys should check it out!!
It has Naomi Harris in it
and does this show come out on HBO??
I watch HUNG (yeah I know its for M)
But I do enjoy the show... lol
Pearl Just watched it. Naomi Harris is a hoe in it. Disgusting woman (the character that is).
Let me get this straight.
We're supposed to be happy that Megan Good's Kali (who will probably be the stereotypical singer/hip hop girl) is in an interracial relationship with Hank, a known misogynist who is also convicted of statutory rape, and who once ran in to "save" his wife from the black man she was having sex with (during a 'rape fantasy'?)
