They have announced the cast of the new Biggie Smalls movie... most of the roles make sense...
This dude, Jamal 'Gravy' Woolard, is big, Black, and a rapper. That makes sense.
Anthony Mackie... I can see him playing Tupac. I actually think he is the best option for this role... and he lives here in Harlem and works out at my gym. Congrats to him! Yaaaaye Anthony!
Derek Luke as Diddy... ok, he can pull it off I think. Everyone doesn't have to be a look a like to pull off a real life role... look at Angela Bassett in 'What's love got to do with it'...
But despite there not needing to be an exact look alike to pull off a role... some choices are kinda ridiculous. Yes, Angela is a phenomenal actress... but playing Voletta Wallace? Huh? That is laughable. That is some ol' "I am an executive producer of this project and I see myself as Angela Bassett' type bullshyt. Voletta Wallace is the ONLY person who sees herself as Angela Bassett. I see her more as a Loretta Devine, Alfre woodard, or Phyllis Stickney (the therapist from 'The Inkwell' that braided Lorenz Tate's hair)...
But I guess I can't hate. If I had a movie based on me, I would choose some young really good looking established actor too... But he would actually have to resemble me at least a little bit. Angela Bassett and Voletta Wallace? That is just some wishful thinking...
I would have thought they would have picked the rapper Gorrilla Black for the role of Biggie. I can see Loretta playing Biggie's mom.

Viagra just gives you the stiffy assistance some guys need to do the job. It does not change the sperm itself, which take about 6 weeks to fully mature and store for later use.

I'm fascinated by movies in general only the fantasy genre but I do not like if all else if I like big Hollywood productions and very few independent productions.

Not exactly related to this post but... are you going to discuss the possible revival of the Fairness Doctrine? It sounds like a law being passed in Atlas Shrugged.

I like so much this post because I can get excellent information about different personalities I think it's good enough.

I am blind and cannot read like other normal people. But when my friend read out to me about your article, it touched my heart because I have never ever heard of such a story ever. You are great and too good at your work.
