The Godfather made you a funk you can’t refuse!

Got to seen James Brown once about 20 years ago. I even got to see him and the band warm up before the show. Got to see JB himself verbally tear into that incarnation of the JBs.

Funking Phenomenal!

dude was playin the drums and I thought

"Damn thats funky"

then James stopped him and said

"NO NO NO You need to hibba hoobba balkdfjasldjkasdl;fjadl;kfjasdl"

He took the sticks from the dude, laid it down for drummer to repeat and then I said

"HOLY SHIT NOW THATS FUNKY"

Took my honkey ass to a level a funk I didn’t know was there!

Have you ever heard James Brown Live in Paris 1971? Holy shit the funkiest moment in the history of funk is during the closing and they do Get Up and Get into and then they flow right into Soul Power and then Get Up reprise. Them French Funkers didn’t know what hit them either. They were all like

"We wee wee ….we should go see the James Brown"

"Hmm maybe not Jean"

and then BAM the funk landed on they assessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

and they said

“ HELL FUNK YEAH”

Everybody over there

GET ON UP

Everybody over there

GET INTO IT

EVERYBODY OVER THERE
GET INVOLVED GET INVOLVED

HIT ME!

Gonna Jump back, kiss myself!

The Godfather made you a funk you can’t refuse!

Be good to eachother

Open Letter to Theater Heads and Studio Execs

Dear Theater and Studio Executives,

In light of the recent Colorado incident, as a fan of both Cineplex’s and art houses, two different worlds in the sister hood of cinema. I think the Cineplex needs to rip a page from the art houses crib notes. Make the theater going experience, at least a few showings, if not one showing, that is affordable for all walks of life, where people from different cultures and classes can come and cognate in the family of film.  Instead of showing 40mins of previews that make us wonder why we left the comforts of our TVs or make us forget what we came to see. Maybe show one preview and the movie, then set aside some discussion time for the audience, the community, to share their movie going experience with each other. Enlighten each other, sometimes sharing thoughts on movies might change your mind on what you think about the world. Movies are a common ground for all! If we let people congregate and feel like they are a part of something, maybe we may be able to understand each other better. Maybe show a classic and have a film scholar or expert come in and briefly give you some highlights before the showing and then lead a peaceful organized open minded discussion afterword. A community rallied around the cinema, just one show a week. That is all I am asking. Like a film of the month club!

Affordable, educational, entertaining, enriching and community building, bringing people back to the theater, making them feel wanted and safe amongst friends.  I’d be willing to donate my time and I willing to bet I am not the only one.

Thank you for your time and consideration

Your Boy

Earl Roy.
