Over the holiday weekend, I had the opportunity to see Will Smith's new film "Hancock" along with rest of the blockbuster movie fiends. Although I was moderately entertained by the flick, I can only wonder if it would have been better minus the crying baby and ringtones throughout the experience. More importanly, I was able to gain a few gems of wisdom by the time the credits rolled. These are the gems I will share with you now.
1. Hanging out with Tom Cruise for too long will have long term effects. Though I can't really pinpoint what exactly, there was some Scientological stuff going on in that script.
2. America isn't ready for a black superhero. Hancock is treated like your favorite neighborhood derelict no matter how much good he does.
3. If a black superhero was to exist, there can be no other black people in Los Angeles. Maybe every black person in L.A. merged together to form a drunken and unruly mega ignorant super negro.
4. The superhero gods don't take kindly to interracial relationships. The moral of this story is, mix races, you die.
5. The only way a black superhero can get a little respect is to hire a white publicist. That must have been inspired by the real life entertainment industry.
