OMG, yes it was amazing....
Piece of advice though: when you and Emerson go see it make sure to buy popcorn and m&ms. That way you could feed each other popcorn during the entire movie. Then at some point, Emerson can shake his head "no" but u should continue to feed him more, after that ask him your scratch your back, remember to lean forward so he can scratch all over, finally, toss m&ms at Emerson, both he and the person he's sitting next to will love it
What was I talking about?
Anyway Precious.... I knew it was going to be "heartbreaking" but I wish someone had warned me that it was set in the late 80s..... I wasn't prepared for the ghetto blaster boomboxes or 80s gameshow clips. Although it's of interest to note that obese girls in the 80s dress like obese girls in the present
The rest of the movie goes around like his:
lady arm Pit hair, learning to read by spellin the word "slut", Vaseline as lube, imagining yourself as a skinny white girl is one way of gettin through the day; fairy tales don't begin with "on Sunday I went to church in Brooklyn", gold teeth, pigs feet should be eaten w/ collard greens and macaroni w/ cheese but shouldn't be hairy, physical abuse includes forcing people to eat hairy pigs feet W/o collard greens (FYI Jose's mom served me and her grandchildren pigs feet last Sunday), you know you don't have HIV if you've never "Don' it all up in da azz", down syndrome children are kinda cute and having one gaurantees money every month, and finally young lady Jamaican accents are pretty damn funny
