I finally got a chance to see David E. Talbert's Love In The Nick of Tyme courtsey of BET. Sundays BET has been geting it right. A few months ago they played Polly, and though I missed it, I appreciated them putting backk on the air for new viewers to see it's brillance. Now I was debating on buying Mr. Talbert's new DVD cause well, I'm broke and I can't afford to buy some random DVD that I don't know if it's good or not. Especially when I don't even own some of my favorite films on DVD. But the catch is, I do like Mr. Talbert's work and I really wanted to see it. And the cast line up seemed really interesting. Morris Chestnut, Avant, Treynce from American Idol and Terry Dexter. Luckily enough BET heard my silent cry and BET put it on the air, I of course didn't know about it, but my mom did and recorded it. It was good. Mr. Talbert's work is very professional and refined, though I don't think this was his best play....I really enjoyed it. And I was able to enjoy more, because it didn't jeapordize any of my funds. The one thing in the play.....that was like oh lord...though it's petty of me....he had a character named Jeryline.
Being that my lead character's name is Jeryline....it was like oh man...people going to think I stole that from him....but really I was mor ebotheres by the fact that the name, imo, didn't really fit the character. The name's two powerful for such a samll charcter. But that's just how I see it.
In other news BET is also airing the movie that I rented and posted about, Truth Hall. I debated spending the $3.00 to rent this movie off of Amazon and finally talked myself into and was highly upset that I did. Now.....oh man....hindsight....I should have waited. BET would have played it all along and I would of found out I didn't like it...for free.
But either or....I really do appreciate BET exposing those Black Films and Black Artists...whether the work is great or still aspiring. I wonder what I have to do to get The Birthday Dinner on the Sunday lineup.
