More Wayans Idiocy Coming Soon
I think the funny part is they call what they do comedy
Who was it that originally looked at the work of the Wayans brothers and said, “Damn, that’s funny”? Who was that person? Look at what it has gotten us…
- Little Man
- White Chicks
- The Sixth Man
- Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood
- Scary Movie 1 & 2
Now, is there anything funny in those five options? Now I should say that when I mention the “Wayans brothers” my primary focus is on Shawn and Marlon. Personally I think Keenan has done some good work and Damon Wayans has become so much of an afterthought I wish Shawn and Marlon would just follow his lead. However, since Keenan continues to support his two siblings I must blame him a bit as well.
This rant I am going on comes as news surfaces out of Variety that Rogue Pictures has made a deal to turn the Wayans Brothers comicbook creation “Super Bad James Dynomite” into a live-action comedy that will star Marlon Wayans as the title character. The studio has bought a script that Marlon wrote with Shawn, Xavier Cook and Mitchell Marchand.
The story for “Dynomite” is an inner-city antihero reminiscent of blaxploitation staples Shaft, Dolemite and Black Belt Jones. Framed by a rival and sent away for a long prison stretch, he returns hopelessly out of step. He must regain his cool and try to take down the man who framed him.
Any chances this movie will be good? Based on the track record I will say no and do my best to stay away, as should you.
