Black people: What is wrong with Tyler Perry?
 

I understand that a great deal of male actors that are trying to make it in TV and Film, will often dress up as a woman, for a comedy role, etc... in order to get some work under their belts and build a resume. Even the late great Robbin Williams (after he became famous) became a women for a film. Tom Hanks in a tv series, and yes, even Tyler Perry has done it....

But.... now that Tyler Perry has established himself as a major actor, director and producer, WHY does he continue with this inane, unfunny, childish female role of Madea ? What is driving him to continue cross dressing? He certainly doesn't need the money nor the padding on his resume, and it couldn't be because his Madea movies are funny (only if you are 12) and don't come close to being classic comedy. His cross dressing, female role playing movies are nothing short of crappy C movie shit that goes straight to video after a horrible run at the box office.

Are black people in praise of his "Madea" work, or are they secretly embarrassed, because when a rare successful black actor / director makes it big, the best he can do is repeatedly dress up as a woman and enjoy it?

So what gives??? Is Tyler Perry the next Bruce Jenner? Is he slowly coming out of the closet and preparing his fans for gender changing surgery? Why does he continue dressing up as a woman??

I just don't get it.

Hiding behind a "gray hair wig" doesn't excuse the fact that he is habitually dressing up as a woman.

Once is marginally funny, 2nd time, not so funny but notable, 3rd time, getting creepy, 4th time... uh... it's time to come out of the closet.... but what about 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9?

OR, could it really be that Perry thinks this character is one of the funniest characters ever created? His films are solid gold and must continue making more sequels? Really??? Have you seen one of these pieces of utter shit films? You can throw a stick and hit a college kid that can make better comedy.

There are 9 of these movies. Yes, 9. Is this really comedic art? Or are we witnessing a sexual psychosis?

Racism! :mad:

I wonder if brassmonkey is a big fan of his 'movies'?

I just figured he had the money to keep making crappy movies and casting himself as the lead role to feed his ego.

I had to google him. Not sure even black people know who he is.

He is straight up Illuminati and he is DOWN WITH THE BAPHOMET!

The Madea movies have made up to now 404 million dollars, with the latest one being N.1 at the US box office and beating Tom Cruise's "Jack Reacher" sequel.

I think that should answer your question.

I respect him because he was homeless and made something of himself. He's respectable and tries to entertain with silly movies. With depressing news and life's troubles, it's always good to escape reality with silly comedy.

U mad

What part of this is racist? I can't analyze an actors film career if he's black?

$ 404 Million for 8 feature films is a joke. With the average film costing $ 45M to 65M, Plus 10 to 15M for advertising each film, I highly doubt the studios are making any profit at all, unless shipping this crap over seas is turning a small profit.

Beside, the issue here was not "how much money" he is making. The issue is "Why" is he doing this? 9 horrible films while dressing in drag. Can't he come up with anything better? With his resources and connections, surely, there must be some decent scripts out there with original comedy.

How many more fucking Madea movies must he shoot in the face of the public? Do people have to scream out as one to drop this guy a hint?

Obviously the movies are dirt cheap to make and black people flock to them in droves. No conspiracies here...they make him lots of money. Probably the lowest form of comedy there is and completely unwatchable IMO.

Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection (2012) - Box Office Mojo

Cost 20 million. Made 66 million.

Eh it's his schtick and also his moneymaker. He found something that makes him profit (and lots of it) so why ditch the winning formula? I think most people in adult would kill to find a site or niche to promote that keeps delivering over and over again for years :)

and the kids

this. :thumbsup

no, never mention black people except as wonderful or we need to give them money. that is all that is allowed...

he is very good at entertaining, however I found the craft in his movie to be substandard. and I have only seen one, and decided not to watch any other TP efforts however I do wish him the best. in all fairness could have been just a one off bad film, who knows. I have very high standards for film making though. 1982-1999 - set lighting 728, director of photography 600-659, 1995 to present photographer, so 34 years on set. changes how you look at productions.

The latest Madea movie cost 20 million dollars to make, and was produced by his own company. Not only that, he wrote, directed, and starred in the movie.

The "why" IS the money.

Like Adam Sandler, Tyler Perry makes movies which are horribly received by critics but that make a fuckton of money.

Sure, he could try making better movies, but why take the chance? Easier to put on that dress and watch the money roll in. And that's why there are nine Madea movies, and based on the success of the latest one, I can guarantee there will be a tenth one.

So get ready to keep getting mad :1orglaugh

tyler save lots of money keeping everything in house... think about it, you use outside vendors you're adding 60% to the cost of a production, plus the cast is paid low I'm betting for the exposer of being in a TP film... like chuck berry, won't pay his back up band because he's fucking the one and only chuck berry... Disney pulls that shit too, paying low wages because you're working for DISNEY.

Dump Madea and bring back Big Momma

:1orglaugh :2 cents: ...

So the general consensus is, "it's all about the money."

That's IT???

How many millions does a man need??? What is the fucking point of making the same piece of shit film over and over and over again???

MONEY??

What happened to growth? Or creating something new and exciting? What happened to the art of film? Creating something we have never seen before??

Tyler Perry, is a rare black man that has achieved greatness and all he can do is put on a fucking dress and make more money?????

It's nothing but a sickness. What kind of role model is he for young black people that aspire to be filmmakers? Put on a dress and tap dance for the man and make millions?

Pathetic.

:2 cents:

Any negative saying about any black person = racism.

Any critics wanna compare their networth to his? Cause that'll give you the answer.

I don't know. Ask Adam Sandler that.

Yes. It's called the "movie business" for a reason.

I don't know if you've noticed, but the internets pretty much disrupted their business model. Movies aren't the big game in town any more. The movie industry has to battle with videogames, streaming video channels like Netflix, and online piracy to name a few factors off the top of my head.

Throw into the mix the consolidation of entertainment companies into bigger and fewer mega-corporations, and you have a landscape where companies, who must answer to their investors, try to minimize their risks as much as possible, leading to the deluge of reboots/sequels/re-imaginings that are common to take advantage of brand name/built-in audience.

There are creative movies exploring the Black perspective being made, just not by established Hollywood studios. Take "Moonlight" for example, which is getting excellent reviews:

Personally, I don't enjoy the Madea movies, but imho there are more important issues in the world to get upset about that some comedian that's making millions of dollars by putting on a dress.

That's the sort of shit the masses are used to watching so that's what they give them.

Poor writing, directing, "acting", and editing.

Perfect for these illiterate darkies to spend their welfare checks on.

has it occurred you that TP is having fun with life? and has little care for highbrow films?

better at the theater than killing kids from a moving car $.02

Boule control Tyler Perry they get orders from that illuminati who want the gay agenda pushed on black people.


Remember when Kevin Hart said he wouldn't wear a dress - LOL next week on SNL he wearing a dress. (when they tell you to do something you do it)
