[...] When Push won the big awards at Sundance over a week ago I posited that it would be an awesome opportunity for Tyler Perry to use his mailing list and developed audience to promote a film outside his comfort zone which is pretty much himself. Here’s what I wrote on January 25th: Film doesn’t yet have distribution, but hopefully now someone will sign on. I think this would be a great opportunity for Tyler Perry. I know that he is pretty much focused on his own work but he has a built in list and if he (or even Oprah) would put their names and muscle behind this film I bet it could get a release.

I think I read this book waaaaay back when I was living in Harlem.
re: “hard content”

Why is it subject matters are considered “hard content” when they are actually telling the story and mainstream entertainment when they are flat out exploiting?

makes me go,”hmmmm”
