Guys, if “the thing with two heads” isn’t blaxploitation, nothing is!

Pootie Tang, maybe … though Black Snake Moan seems to be in a category all its own. Soul Plane, anyone?

I’m with PeteRepeat. These are examples not of Blaxploitaition, but of Crapsploitation. If a “modern” vesion of Blaxploitation exists, it’s embodied in films like Dead Presidents, Black Snake Moan and Pootie Tang.

Compare and contrast questions:
1 – Was Ray Milland ever busted for kiddy porn?

2 – For that matter, was Ted Knight?

3 – or Ben Stein? Eeek?

4 – This might be the best possible cast in the worst possible idea ever (Who’s Your Caddy.) Thing With Two Heads? Worst possible idea ever, good cast or no?

Seriously, Faizon Love should be doing much better movies. This looks like they tricked somebody into making a movie so they could all hang out. I’m certain Jeffrey Jones was not invited to their all-night “Country Clubbers and Ho’s” themed Wrap Party.

Eddie Murphy was in Norbit, and Larry the Cable Guy was in Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector.

It’s not “blaxpotation,” it’s just some stupid crappy film.

… and Kelsey Grammar is the executive producer of the show Girlfriends. Who’da thunk?
