Coby Vibes;2412602 said:youre assuming that the premise is black men aint shit. in every one of his movies the black women werent that much better. so if you watched a TP movie and thought only the black men looked bad and ugly, then you just have a guilty conscience
Coby Vibes;2412828 said:yeah because it takes place in an error when beating and abusing women was the order of the day. y'all dudes like that shit
bigrizz;2411759 said:Every movie this dude makes portrays some black person as a piece of shit reinforcing stereotypes created by white europeans
Truth Writer;2415145 said:Fuck outta here with this shit.
Tyler Perry = Lil Wayne
(both have lower common deminator product the market to dumbass in ONE specific demographic that they'll buy in bulk and now make them look like they're Gods of their craft)
Spike Lee = Nas
(Both put out timeless, classic material that overall everyone will just respect 10-20 years after it's made.)
Coby Vibes;2411812 said:he got more exposure because more people can relate. the audience that goes to TP are a much more "sophisticated" audience than that which goes to hood flicks.
TP does gospel stage plays that he turns to movies. TP was not the first to do gospel stage plays. he caters to the church crowd and middle black america. he was just the first to be successful with the plays.
old church folks know more about real cooning and buffooning, better than anybody else. so obviously Spike dont know WTF he talking about. Spike mad because his days are done.
Spike got a lot of shit with his films too His films were misogynistic and he always had high yella leading ladies and riddled with sterotypes too.
spike need to STFU
Disciplined InSight;2414672 said:Smh @ Cody Vibes defending Tyler Perry like a defensive lawyer ...please shut the fuck up.
Obviously it's true because the criticisms, which are TRUE, got to Tyler and he got all bothered and homotional like all the women that watch his movies and it's gotten to you as well.
There's nothing entertaining about a MAN dressing up as a WOMAN to evoke laughter, and that would include when Martin did it, Jamie did it and every other actor that did it in Hollyweird. Tyler's movies have this certain quality to where it plant negative psychological seeds into SOME fragile Black woman's mind and not to mention his shit's so cliche' muthafuckas can basically write their own Tyler Perry script. And based on those cliches' alone, that makes him a well-paid one dimensional director, whereas Spike in his whole career hit every angle within capturing the Black experience on film, whether positive or negative.
Lol @ you picking arguments about Spike's filming style...every director has a certain trademark style: Scorsese, Kubrick, Tarantino, the Coen Bros., the Hughes Bros. etc...you'll wouldn't know that though because you're being emotional like Tyler and coming to the defense.
Spike's filmography>>>Tyler's filmography.

the shit u say is very off . audiences that go so TP movies are sophisticated ? let me guess them real housewife of atlanta broads are "sophisticated" too huh ?
sboogie;2415491 said:yo, my jaw dropped several times while reading that wall of text...
spotlight:
Tyler Perry is to Spike Lee as Disney is to porn...
WOOOOOW.....
Coby Vibes;2415472 said:your opinion of whether it is entertaining or not or is personal. many folks including myself find him funny. this thread was never about TP work compared to SL because they do not make the same movies. most of you dudes fail to realize that and to compare the two is just downright absurd
TP is a playwright...FIRST. he writes gospel plays that are adapted into movies he does television and movies. It's like comparing Disney to porn.
you're being so homotional in your attempt to get at me and TP that you dont even realize that the shit your talking about makes no sense. TP does not plant a seed in no woman's head. you're giving him more power than he has and clearly you dont know his movies and you dont know black women. you must be a young. (never mind most of you are young and clueless). This board is far more damaging to black women and black people than TP will ever be. I see more cooning and buffooning here
his movies are set up like any chick flick. his movies are not race specific. the cast can be replaced with white people as well. as for the Madea character. It's just a character.
one dimentional director, we already covered that... most directors are
and me referring to SL filming style is to make the same point.... most directors have a trademark style including TP
so LOL @ you missing that.
Y'all dudes get so fucking emotional over TP because you think he fucking up the game for you by planting seeds in women heads and causing resentment. that is the crux of most of your deep seated emotions towards him and these silly ass arguments
the comparison between the two directors is just stupid and you resort to going that route because it's the easiest (albeit foolish) thing to do
so if anybody needs to STFU, it's you and all these people who make a big deal out of nothing. The minute TP name gets typed y'all rush in to spew venom like a bunch of bitchasses
sound like a bunch of catty faggots "oooh I hate that bitch TP he aint all that... fuck his shit. Spike shit is more fierce than he will ever be" *two snaps"
black caesar;2415516 said:C'mon. I'm all for positive messages, but is it really necessary to use stereotypical characters to get a point across? Tyler is basically saying that his followers aren't really smart enough to comprehend. There's nothing coo about being a coon and dissing black men every chance he gets, and considering what happened to him as a kid, it all make sense now.
absolutely not. Madea is a character modeled after aunt. Madea is the much like Big Momma (not necessarily Martin's but also in Soul Food) There is always a matron in black family movies. it has nothing to do with being smart enough to comprehend...ZERO. the family matron is always present. that is all. you people are over complicating a very simple thing
He's done so much damage. That's why you got all the other stupid ass black plays following his lead. The sad part is the one only that is good will get overlooked, because I would think it would be on some Tyler Perry shit. No. I'm not cool with the coonery.
you people keep accusing him of shit that was existing long before anybody knew his name. that's just stupid. you're just too young and werent aware of it prior so you think it;s his fault. but as I said TP caters to a much older crowd. and there were black plays long before TP... decades before. but as I sad most of you are too young to know that so you think TP is the start of it all and he is not. black plays/musicals have been around for as long as I can remember they just never had the commercial success TP has
I think it's funny as hell that Tyler is pissed. Spike ain't the only cat that dissed him. Anthony Mackie, Malik Yoba, Aaron MacGuarder, and others got at his ass. They were saying the same shit that I was saying for a minute, and some niggas have the nerve to say I'm hating. SMH Tyler should be pissed at himself, not Spike Lee. I'm all for someone making a come up, and you have to keep your integrity or it's worthless.
Malik Yoba has been in his movies. Aaron Macgruder does The Boondocks, clearly not the same target audience. Why is TP even on his radar? I think it's funny that young, single people who have a totally different lifestyle than that which TP movies shows care so much. TP caters to a more mature, settled audience. even his damsels in distress are usually older married woman. his movies arent usually for the young, single, wordly folks. I dont understand why those people give such damn.
I don't understand. how you can ride for this dude. SMH Tighten up and see things for what it really is.
