click here to read what hedz are sayin' (comments) below I saw Exodus: Gods and Kings last night and consider it one of the worst films I've seen this year. While there were complaints about the absence of any actors of color, I'm grateful that no black stars will be associated with this cinematic disaster. Here are several reasons why you should buy a bootlegged copy from Blackbusters instead of giving your hard earned cash to Rupert Murdoch and Ridley Scott. 1. Rupert Murdoch recently tweeted: "Since when are Egyptians not white? All I know are. They treated blacks as slaves." 2. Ridley Scott said that he didn't hire any black leads for the film because, "I (can't) get it financed. So the question doesn't even come up." 3. It took more liberties with the Bible than the film Noah, which featured giant talking stones that helped Noah defeat his enemies. 4. God is portrayed as an 11 year-old white male with a British accent. 5. Exodus distorts known historical facts.
6. Exodus reinforces and amplifies old racial stereotypes. All the powerful people are white and all of the blacks are either servants, slaves or security guards. 7. The Washington Post wrote: "Exodus has much more in common with The Day After Tomorrow and other examples of disaster porn than The Ten Commandments or The Passion of the Christ." Watching Exodus last night made me want to scream, "Hollywood, Let my people go," and wish that that God had written an 11th Commandment telling film makers and distributors, "Thou shall not make bad films and expect people to pay to see them." I shared these thoughts this morning with Joe Madison, on Sirius XM radio, and have attached a copy of the interview for your consideration. Enjoy and share.
