Mimis Wants That Oscar!
No, this isn't the hag at the DMV who smacked her lips at you when you didn't bring in your social security card AND birth certificate. It's Mimi! Mimi! You know, Mariah Carey. YES! I know you didn't recognize the Rainbow Butterfly Princess without her glitter domes out, but it really is her. Mimi washed away all the Hello Kitty-ness to play a period-faced guidance counselor in Precious. Mimi has come along way since her Glitter days.....
The movie also stars my favorite comic of all-time & forever Mo'Nique, Lenny Kravitz, Sherri Shepherd (ugh) and newcomer Gabby Sidibe. The trailer is below. Really, that's Mimi. If you don't believe me, release a butterfly in the room and it will immediately flutter to her when she pops up on the screen.

I read a book by the poet Sapphire called "Push" which I believe this movie is adapted from. I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!! If it is anything like the book then it is too important to miss. I am giving up to Mo'Nique and Mariah!!

I probably won't see it in the theater but wait for the DVD. WHY? The last time I went to see a "black" theamed movie in the theater, The black kids (teens and 20's mostly) looked at me with the "What's a white woman doing here?" look. Dirty looks!
Besides the looks, my friend and I got popcorn thrown at us. I live in a county that is so racially mixed that we have never had to have bussing, but I can't go to a black movie.

Um, your ignorance is showing, line for line, in so many ways that it's ssstaaaaaaggering.
I'll just say this: If I decided to avoid public spaces and situations in which I'd previously been treated badly by groups of people that happened to be white (or male, or elderly, or in uniform, or WHATEVER), I'd never go ANYWHERE. Get over yourself. Stop using singular interactions with individuals outside your race as an excuse to stereotype entire cultures. It's weak - and it makes ALL you white folks look bad! (HA! See whut I did der?)
And I HAVE to highlight this:
"The black kids (teens and 20's mostly) looked at me with the "What's a white woman doing here?" look. Dirty looks!
I don't even know where to begin...I..Seriously? Are you telepathic? or...myopic...
i usually stay away from my peoples [black] movie theaters but with this movie, i'm going to harlem to watch with the folks .. they'll end up talking/narrating through most of it but i need to feel the ghetto love when i cry ..
damn, fighting back a tear! quick turn on Bravo!!
Estrogen a-poppin!
this trailer stirred my inner ghetto girl and had me shed a tear. will watch, albeit, online.
Her father rapes her over and over again--she is also sexually, physically and mentally abused by her mother. THAT'S why she's pregnant again. Her first kid was born with down syndrome.

I totally think this movie is going to get some good recognition because it touches on almost everything in the Real Ghetto World we call life.
What I can't understand HOW the Fuck did she have one kid and be pregnat with her next baby. Who or what the hell would want to Fuck her she worse then BUTT UGLY. Ok i realize this is fiction cause not even a drunken bumb can roll over one morning and say what the hell was I on. He'd get lost in her rolls and I don't mean dinner rolls.
Aside from that it looks like a good after school special to show the kids.
That was really sad.

WAIT WAIT WAIT...IM LOST!!!Does anyone remember when this girl tried out for AMERICAN IDOL? Is this story a true one about her or is she an actress. She tried out and was horrible, then she tried, paula cried vicodin tears back...its was magic. She was a football player for her school. Right? or do i just watch too much tv that my shit is blending together?
First, it looks like it is going to a great movie and, secondly, I never thought the words would come out of my lips but, oh well, it looks like the Carey can act!

Her mother and father both sexually/physically abuse her. She gets pregnant by her father.

TCCB6869, I'll answer your questions for you. Her dad fucked her. Get it? She was abused by her parents and rapped by her father. The book is fiction but it is based off of real life people since Sapphire (the book's author) was a teacher in Harlem and dealt with people just like Precious. Believe it or not stuff like this does happen in real life. The book is very serious and I'm surprised it was made into a movie.
ughh I used to like this kaka-face, then she had that nervous breakdown or whatever and turned into Robert Pattinson's glittery asshole. She's such a douche.
Incidentally, if mariah Carey hadnt made it, she would be looking EXACTLY like that, working in the post office or DMV, chewing gum and being the true cheap piece of trash she is....

Give Credit where credit is due: Everyone in the movie looks great; Mimi included. Go Mimi! She obviously looks like she did a great job in this movie, but people still have to find a way to put her down.
And I am always impressed by her willingness to de-gloss, de-photoshop herself for a role. Not many actresses are willing to do that. Very reminiscent of Bette Davis. Good for her!

It's a step up from *Glitter* for sure, but Mimi has to do more then put a fugly wig on and cover up her boobs to get an Oscar.

My faith in Dlisted has been renewed; not a single nasty comment on this thread (or at least not that I noticed). Yea for no fighting!!!!
OT: I have mixed feeling about this movie, but chances are it'll never make it to the theaters here anyway. (It took like 2 months before we got 'Brokeback Mountain', and people literally walked out on it...)

me too.. I never would have bothered with the trailer (Seeing mimi in Glitter.. not such a good movie) but am glad I saw it on here. Thanks MK!!":_)
I hope this movie does well. It looks like it has substance, so much better than most of the pap out there lately.
Wow... that actually looks good. I'm a cold hearted bitch and that made me choke the fuck UP!
Goddamn I almost want to be a teacher again. ALMOST. Except for the small part of teenage punks making violent threats to me when i was 7 months prego.. yeah, not anymore. Tough school. I read Pat Conroy's 'The Water is Wide' and that inspired me but not going back to that shit.
The people who do tough it out and make a difference to those kids deserve the money these celebutante twats get instead.
I think I might have to see this movie but go when a less rowdy crowd is there.
This trailer made me sad and I hope the movie has a good ending. And i LOVE Mo' Nique and seeing her like a big bad bitch will suck. And Mimi? Not a fan but SHOCKED she would let her guard down and look so frau here. She didn't look lost onscreen either. Who knew?!?!
