I mean, the base for Tyler Perry's plays started out as being religious Black folks and has evolved from there. I haven't seen too many Whiteentertainers begin with a predominanetly (read: All) Black fan-base...

I have NO idea why, but me seeing "Tyler Perry's ____________" makes me want to see it even less. I don't like it when people put their nameson products like that... Yeah I don't know why that bothers me

There def is. I admit listen to both the positive and the negative. Its all entertainment to me. However, I've NEVER seen the same outragefrom some on this forum towards the negative rap that I see them express towards Tyler Perry. And to be honest, I truly don't think Tyler Perry'simpact has been as detrimental as that of negative rap on the Black community. And it certainly isn't as bad as some on here are implying. I reallydon't find Perry's movies to be that funny, in fact, most seem to just be re-runs of earlier movies, but come on, lets be realistic about thesituation...

i'm pretty critical of all crap that gets put out in theatres... but especially him because i feel like it's the same crap, time after time... andpeople are entertained by it. Somehow he's got the support of a major label and major promotion behind him, while great films and more talentedwriters/directors/producers can't get their vastly superior work pushed like that because he's in their way.
I'm not saying he hasn't worked hard and paid dues to get to where he is - but i fel like his act is beyond tired and cannot understand why peoplecontinue supporting this junk. good for him and his hustle, making it and all.. but i don't get it at all, and as i said, i don't know anybody thatDOES get it. not like dude is winning any awards or even getting nominations - but somehow he's making boatloads of money putting out movies thatdon't ever seem to review well. I just don't get it.

Firstly, Hollywood is based on $$ and what sells. There's PLENTY of producers and film-directors who put out trash BUT it sells and thus itwill always get play and backing. Hollywood is a business. Hollywood isn't Cannes or the other places where artistic, creative, 'good' movies ruleand dominate. This is Hollywood where money walks and talks. If you can make a film that puts *+@%# in seats, your going to stay in the industry. Is KeanuReeves a good actor? To me? No. But he stays making money because he can put *+@%# in seats, somehow. Have Eddie Murphy's past few movies been good? No,but they put *+@%# in seats. What sells is what sells and thats what rules the land. Tyler Perry is playing the game and as the saying goes, don't hate theplayer, hate the game...Originally Posted by Craftsy21

Haven't seen it yet, but I enjoy his work. I don't understand where all the hate is coming from. People knock him for dressing up as a woman but so didJamie and no one gets on his back about it. They deliver a lot messages on his shows if you ask me. One of the new "House of Payne" episodes lastweek dealt with violence in the Black community.
Can someone put up some examples of his ****ery, stereotypes and etc? I would like to try and see it from others perspective.
To me it sounds like disliking Tyler Perry is the cool thing to do. That's just my opinion though.

I don't like his stuff as much as my Mom and her friends do (and frankly I doubt any male does), but I don't get the hate either. Sure, his Madeacharacter is fairly stereotypical, it's based on his own real life Ma'Dea'. I guarantee all of you talking about he's ****ing and embarassingblack folks, are the first people to turn on some Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy. At the least, all of Tyler Perry's movies have a moral, generally rooted inreligion, and positive message. He's not just rebelling and being negative for the sake of doing so, or to make $. If anything, I'd say his types ofmovies and shows are fairly good for the community, since they bring up issues in a way that can make you think and reconsider your own beliefs.
For example, I've only seen a few of House of Payne episodes but they've had the episode about black people attacking other black people for acting"too white," they've done a violence in the black community episode, they've done a single parent home episode- all things athat areprevalent in the community which he targets with his "****ery." But yea, go light a blunt, drop out of school, then run around acting an !%*$ likeSoulja Boy while complaining that Tyler Perry is the one "embarassing us."
