The Last Supper
Finally, I've seen a film that quenched my thirst to see creative and dramatic political narrative on screen. I absolutely loved this film. The Last Supper is a great movie for the over-indulging vagrant who marvels at their own philosophical prowess and scrutinizes others. It doesn't matter whether you're a staunch leftist, right wing, moderate, socialist, conservative, neo-liberal etc., watching this film will definitely challenge your views and possibly your methodology.

The film isn't stuffed with dense, dull, and verbose political commentary. That would definitely be a turn off. Contrastively, the film's storyline is innovative and engaging. The story entails a group of extreme idealistic pathological liberal graduate students who invite guests over for dinner and kills anyone who disagrees with their moral/ethical/philosophical/political ideologies after discussing specific controversial issues of the world over the meal. I thought the screenplay for this movie was great; probably one of the best I've seen or heard rather. The dialogue will engage and intrigue anyone who is well-versed in political philosophy. Also, the story isn't laden with meaty ideas that one couldn't interpret quickly as the movie goes on. That's what makes the movie good. It incorporates some of the most controversial subjects (such as abortion, war, the significance of J. D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, liberal methodology, radical feminism, abstinence, and homosexuality) but the dialogue is light enough so that the audience doesn't become frustrated with grappling with the ideas posited in the film throughout the banter and quarrels.

Two actors of good repute that you might recognize are Cameron Diaz and (probably less so) Courtney B. Vance who also played the husband of Whitney Houston's character, Julia: Reverend Henry Biggs in The Preacher's Wife. He's also a regular on Law and Order. Both of these actors play roles of two of the graduate students. These kids are absolutely insane. They kill anyone who disagrees with their ethics, which is actually completely unscrupulous. The irony. But here's the logic: Would you kill someone who you thought, because of their philosophical mores, would make the world a worser place if they stay alive? Yes or No? Well, the grad students in the film take the former. One of the examples that they use, and sorry for the light spoiler, is if you were in a pub Austria in 1915 and unexpectedly Hitler sidled next to you. Would you kill him knowing the potential of his continued existence? Two answers are given in the film. If you want to know what I'd do, watch the film and the last opinion given as an answer to that question is the option I'd take. And that option is a method that I think everyone in this world should use if they sincerely wanted to affect change, which is ultimately what I got from the film. Great movie. Stacy Title, the director, gets a few snaps from me for this film.

Parting Thoughts:
So, the Erykah Badu and The Roots concert was pretty good. I didn't think I would see The Roots actually opening a show for someone because that band is too good for that. But, Ms. Badu's performance (though some were strange but that's just Erykah being Erykah) deserved the privileged designation that the marquee alloted her. Great concert.
I'm sorry Common, a "conscious nigg(er)(a)" is an oxymoron. I still love "Southside" though, especially Kanye's second verse.
I want to give a shout out to all my North Carolina peeps for doing the right thing during the last Democratic Primary. Hey Chelsea, not your mama, we want Obama!
Reverend Al was arrested after he and others protested the Sean Bell verdict. Could this be the catalyst to the second coming of the Civil Rights Movement? Ehh, probably not.
I'm tired of NYPD officers circumventing the law because of government special interest.
Diallo...........Bell........... who's next?
The maroon finished brick sidewalks of Chapel Hill put the dilapidated pavements of New York to shame. Dare I say the quality of life is better Down South? You damn right.
Shoutout to Brooklyn by the way. haha.



Oh yeah, Fight The Power and Revolution!
