Maybe I am just a sucka. But I loved those movies. Love and Basketball, Lov Jones, Disappearing acts , The Brothers (that one was hilarious), Brown suga. I really loved those. And there was one that also had Nia Long, Sanaa Lathan (lets just say I kiss the girl), Taye Diggs as a writer . Cant seem to remenber the name oof the movie naw.

Re: Black Romance Is Boring by Uche2nna(m): 5:13am On Mar 20, 2008
Thanks!!!

I always have favored African American romance flicks. U wont catch me watching "There is sth about mary, Heartbreak kid or Wedding planner a second time. It is always kind of cheesy to me.
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by Dreloaded(f): 5:14am On Mar 20, 2008
all wack
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by iice(f): 5:15am On Mar 20, 2008
LOL indeed they all suck

Don't mention heartbreak kid. . .stupid movie angry
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by almondjoy(f): 6:06am On Mar 20, 2008
The reason I can't listen to most black artistes singing love songs too.  It just does not look real.  Imagine someone like P' Diddy as opposed to Justin Timberlake singing a love song. 

Uhn uhn!

Let's face it.  We all have our talents. . . . . .maybe sports, but romance------------oh no! kiss

When white folks act romantic movies or sing romantic songs, you can actually feel it.  But our black peeps do the same things, they just don't look and sound real. 

No be by force I beg! Lets just manage them like that. . . . they make good cooks and babysitters! grin

you got that right. there was one day in school - i walked past the common romm with a friend, and some peeps were watching the movie - and the guy said - don't mind them they're just waiting for the hammering scenes
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by Nobody: 9:52am On Mar 20, 2008
so as we be men and women of colour we dey bash ourselves even though na true sha

black romance is boring, black people don't build businesses ati gbo gbo ti gbo to name but a few.

do we now believe that black people are limited in things they can ashually do? black people excel only when it's iphysical. a very good example is sports. i stand corrected sha. is it also true to say black people succeed only when do things the white way for example, oprah winfrey, tiger woods etc

if the above holds water, can i conclude that black people are RICH and NOT WEALTHY?
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by iykedee: 10:52am On Mar 20, 2008
Just make my day by shutting the hell up. Ur post is soooooooo empty
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by tngtech(m): 10:55am On Mar 20, 2008
@POSTER

Since its boring, while don't you go try your own movie and lets see how passionate it will be.
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by Uche2nna(m): 2:26pm On Mar 20, 2008
Can somebody give me an example of a good "oyibo" romance flick. I have mentioned three and iicee and D-r agreed it was wack. My opinion , too.


When it comes to thrillers tho, I prefer "Oyibo made". grin

can't believe i actually sat to finish that stupid movie.
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by MsLurker(f): 3:14pm On Mar 20, 2008
One white romance movie I do like is The Notebook. I tried not too, I really did, but it's good.

After that, I don't think there are any. I don't even like Gone With The Wind.
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by iice(f): 3:20pm On Mar 20, 2008

I couldna finish it

Ms. Lurker. . .yeah the notebook is one i like. . .it's quite intense.
Somewhere in time is another one.
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by jkpretty(f): 3:35pm On Mar 20, 2008
Nope its the reverse, white romance looks stupid.

U are not alone in that thought.

@ Mrs Lurker

I will take ur word for it. Its gonna be Notebook for me this weekend.
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by Dreloaded(f): 4:59pm On Mar 20, 2008
guys who willingly watch romance movies creep me out
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by Uche2nna(m): 5:01pm On Mar 20, 2008
Ur opinion.

On a lighter note, may I ask why.


A good movie is a good movie. I dont mind the genre. I watch all kinda of stuff. The only ones I dont enjoy are horror movies.
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by bgees(m): 5:43pm On Mar 20, 2008
I advise u to observe how a naija man treats his white or non-nigerian lover.
The ladies are d problem.how can u be romantic to someone who is'nt.all most of girls want is money and little sex.
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by bgees(m): 5:48pm On Mar 20, 2008
African romance=sex and money.
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by babycool(f): 2:20pm On Mar 21, 2008
For all of you who are making cynical remarks at my post, let me inform you that i dont practice black romance any more, i was only speaking on behalf of my poor sisters and brothers who i see lining up at those eatries to make an impression tongue
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by Jids(m): 2:24pm On Mar 21, 2008
Trip:

i mean what i said in d topic.BLACK ROMANCE IS BORING.if u'r douting me ,watch a black romantic film & then watch a white romantic.THEN ask yourself which one u felt more.D black films r all about d physical.that is just it.but d white films run deeper dan that.let me know what u think.

I think you will need to search for your root
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by omega25red(m): 3:44pm On Mar 21, 2008
It is so sad that folks on this forum actually belive that real life is like what happens in the movies
my advice to you all is to learn to seperate entertaiment from your reality
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by almondjoy(f): 3:58pm On Mar 21, 2008

I HAVE SEEN ALL 25! cool

Even cartoon characters in a movie can act better than a typical black person.  Even Denzel Washington is stiff when he attempts to play a romantic role! grin

Thank God that Will Smith made it in this list with "Hitch"! which was alright at least! cheesy Then Cub Gooding Jr in "Jerry Maguire"
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by Nautillus(m): 4:04pm On Mar 21, 2008
Me thinks that the reason why black movies appear shallow is the undeniable fact that the black race has the [b]very very [/b]strong SEXUAL bodylanguage/undertone in all the different RACES on earth so when we "do" romantic flicks, i mean, you just can't help but see SEX written in bold all over it.

Strictly my opinion sha
Re: Black Romance Is Boring by almondjoy(f): 4:16pm On Mar 21, 2008
Is there anything else they know than sex? cheesy Animalistic Porn stars---devoid of any rommantic potential! grin


Rabbits!

Na true now! grin  20 years after "Innerspace" by Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. . . . .black people are still unable to express their emotions and act convincing parts.  As a child, I watched "Innerspace".  When you see those 2 people together, you did not need a prophet to tell you they would get married. . . and divorce in the future.  The chemistry was so strong. . . . . I even wanted to get between the sheets with them for a 3some! grin

Gosh!  It was electrifying!

I say the reason I cannot get into romantic songs by black folks these days.  See their music videos. . . . raunchy and illiterate! Naked sweaty bodies with drugs in the air. You cannot even understand what the hell they are speaking or singing due to illiteracy! grin Compare "Terms of Endearment" and "Moonstruck" to Okoro movies like "Love Jones" and "How Stella Got Her Groove"! angry  Nonsense movies!

But trust Oyinbo people. . . .will leave something to the imagination just to invite you to the bedroom.  I love it! cool  Black man will show you jiggling breast, butt and all.  Grab this, grab that. . . .no finese whatsoever. Wetin remain now? grin  I respect only Alicia Keys for her videos and lyrics. . . most of the rest are just thrashy!
