This is the doodle I drew while I wasn't paying attention to class. I don't really know what dark demon inside me desires to make art like this.

Just added It’s A Very Merry Muppet Christmas to the Christmas with So Weird playlist. It’s one of the first things Dave Squatch Ward worked on after So Weird ended.

I wrote about it before and a copy of Christmas Every Day featuring his So Weird son, Erik von Detten, is also on the playlist.

There are copies of A Madea Christmas (the one with Eric Lively) floating around. Two of the copies were the same with glitches of scenes being out of order (!). I can’t find other copies (yet) that are better to upload.

Since it’s Christmas time and I’ve never seen this movie, I’m gonna watch A Madea Christmas 🤶🎄📽️🎬

Yall this in my opinion is the best Tyler Perry play you could watch. Shit was funny as hell

I don't care what you say I like what I like.

However, as Eileen predicts, things are not what they seem. Not to mention, her mom and good old Madea’s niece, Eileen is planning a surprise visit, bringing smart-mouthed Madea with her, against Lacey’s wishes. Our story revolves around a young school teacher, Lacey and her struggle to help the town out with their goal of participating in their annual Christmas Jubilee and adjusting to life in the country with her new husband, Connor (whom she had secretly eloped with). They’re not likely to erect a Madea statue in Atlanta any time soon, but the old broad at least deserves a decent burial.It’s almost Christmas time! And everyone is getting into the Christmas spirit in southern Georgia. Where once she and Perry represented “black cinema” as a whole, now he is one in a multitude of voices. Like it or not, Madea has sustained African-American film-making through lean, pre-#OscarsSoWhite times. He is quite possibly the most successful indie film-maker of all time. In 2012, he signed a huge TV deal with Oprah’s OWN network and signed an even huger one with Paramount and BET in 2017 (maybe why he no longer needs Madea). He produced non-Madea movies such as Precious and For Colored Girls and the new Tiffany Haddish comedy Nobody’s Fool. Now Perry runs a 330-acre studio in Atlanta. He kept on rewriting and restaging his works until he found a shtick that clicked. He first tried her out in 1999, in low-budget stage productions which he wrote, directed, financed, starred in, and sold the half-time popcorn at.

Writer Donald Bogle also described Madea as “mammy-like”, observing: “If a white director put out this product, the black audience would be appalled.” Such criticisms are condescending towards his audiences, says Perry.īut even his critics see how far Perry has come. Spike Lee has dismissed Perry’s films as humiliating, racially stereotyping “coonery and buffoonery”. Not that everyone loves Madea by any means. Its sequels have fared little better, but the franchise has made nearly half a billion dollars. To many, Madea movies are virtually unwatchable: her 2005 movie debut, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 16%. In the movies, her painfully broad slapstick is often mixed in with soapy family melodrama dealing with themes of domestic violence, religious salvation and conservative family values (Perry is a Christian). She speaks in exaggerated “Ebonics”, shuns political correctness, commits crimes and often asserts her ol’-time values with the aid of firearms. Her pantomime-dame antics make Eddie Murphy’s Nutty Professor II: The Klumps look Shakespearean. Few will mourn her passing but it’s the end of some kind of era.įor the uninitiated, which includes most non-African Americans, Madea is a bewildering proposition, her enduring popularity even more so. After nearly 20 years, 10 stage plays, 10 movies, numerous cameos and even a straight-to-DVD animation, Perry announced he is retiring the Madea character after next year’s A Madea Family Funeral. “Time for me to bury that old broad, man.” Usually that’s no way to talk about a septuagenarian great-grandmother, but Perry is referring to his own fat-suited alter ego, and many would agree with him. “I ’m sick of that old bitch,” Tyler Perry recently said of Mabel “ Madea” Simmons.
