Think like a Man Too?Follow

Is it a Tyler Perry movie? I think this is the wrong demographic for that...

Cause I'm racist and all black people look alike to me? Get with the program...

Was this a serious post? I didn't think so...

I saw bits and pieces of Think Like a Man when it was out on one of the cable channels. I did not care for it, and definitely couldn't see paying theater prices to see it. And, in my opinion, this forum wasn't the target demographic of that movie.

It doesn't have goblins, super-heroes or even hipster vamps.

Yes, this was a serious post. I'm not sure why you think a movie forum is not the target demographic for a mainstream comedy movie. I didn't realize that this forum was "whites only".

We tried posting a sign once, but they made us take it down. It's one of those things we can't outright say, but is heavily implied.

My question on the seriousness of your question was not because the movie was a "black comedy", but because you said:



Given the nature of the forums, and the existing posts in it, I don't see how you could be seriously surprised that "Think Like a Man Too" didn't have a topic about it. These films are not discussed much here, ever. There are many genres not discussed. A lot of Romance films that have a big buzz are never talked about either. That one that just came out... Fault in Our Stars. My cousins are talking it up like crazy on Facebook. Pretty sure it's never been mentioned on Allakhazam. Not many (if any) people talking about the latest Fast and Furious movies either. Or Ride Along, even though my coworker went to that one and thought it was great.

I'll just note that I never said it didn't belong. Just that it is not surprising that it didn't have a topic talking about it already. The joking stemmed from me thinking you were joking because of the comment that you were surprised.

Did Anchorman 2 or even Anchorman have topics I'm this subforum? (I'm on my mobile and can't be bothered to search at the moment)

I see hangover 2 and hangover 3 had threads. None of the anchorman movies did. Most every other movie I searched for outside the Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror came up with zero hits. Comedy, Romance, Action, didn't really matter.

I'll stand by my assertion that it's no surprise this movie didn't already have a topic on these forums. And my Tyler Perry comment, and subsequent off colored comments, just mocking your surprise. I would have made a similar comment had someone came in posting they were surprised that "The Fault in Our Stars" didn't already have a topic. Probably would have mentioned that this forum isn't a bunch of pre-teen girls. Even the new Sci-Fi-ish love story movies like Divergent don't get talked about much if at all.

Please let it go. His comment was not racist or whatever you're are trying to prove here. I certainly am not the target audience of this movie and I think the same goes for many of the posters here. Not because of skin color but because of preferences and interests in genres.

My comment was racist. In the same way that telling a woman to get into the kitchen and make me a sammich is sexist. But much like the "sammich" comments, commenting that only black people like Tyler Perry is usually taken as a joke.

And I'll stand by my assertion. I'm focusing on your demographic comments, which was not one of your off colored comments. My original post was a real post, obviously the "surprised" part was sarcasm. Somehow we spoke past each other in our references.

Usually I'm fairly decent at picking up sarcasm, but that went right by me.

I generally don't pay attention to all-black comedy movies and shows. In the past, I've given some of them a shot, but they often seem to rely somewhat heavily on cultural humor. While I can see the comedic value in this type of humor, it is not usually relatable for me. Which is fine. I'm not the target demographic, and I'm perfectly fine with there being entertainment out there that isn't aimed at me.

My first "demographic" comment was a "black people" joke about Tyler Perry.

My second use of "demographic" really was just about looking at the active posters of this forum and the current topics (not counting the... 25-30% of them which are mine talking about TV shows) and thinking this comedy movie really doesn't seem to fit the usual posters here, so it's no surprise that the discussion didn't already exist.

The majority of this forum is some anime, some books, comic book/movies, some popular shows (walking dead, game of thrones) and then me posting about every television show I'm currently watching hoping people talk with me about it. Not saying the other stuff doesn't belong, just it's not surprising that it doesn't exist.

(I am disappointed that more people don't like Clarence as much as I do )

I watched the first Think Like a Man, I think it was on Comedy Central one afternoon maybe? Or some other network. I didn't enjoy it much, it fits nicely in one of those "fill in a boring afternoon" times like most shows that air in the afternoons. But it's not really a movie I would spend money to see. I watched all the hangover movies, but only on DVD borrowed from someone or on the movie channels after they were in theaters.
