This week in the Deep Hurting Project, I'm thankful I have a chance to visit one of the first movies to be removed from the Deep Hurting Project list back when I was still relying on just checking DVDs out from my local library, and I'm thankful that Turn It Up didn't kill Jason Statham's career in the cradle when he made his first appearance in a movie not directed by Guy Ritchie
Next week in the Deep Hurting Project, I'm going to switch up genres for a bit and go try Dancin': It's On. Because I have a Christmas-themed horror movie planned after that that I want to do in December and... it's a fucking doozy.
- To be fair, given that I've been trying to get a boost pedal to work, I guess I can relate to the guy who's trying to get a mixing board to work.
- So, is this movie basically the record-making subplot in Boogie Nights with more ebonics and without two hours of character development to make us care about an ex-porn star's attempt to record the theme song to the Transformers movie?
- And is there a reason that Chinese guy's got the same cadences as George Takei, even though they're not the same actor?
- So, there's a gang banger trying to get into the music business and somebody's got to betray somebody. I know for a fact that I haven't watched this movie before, but I know I've seen this movie before.
- The way Jah Rule says "My Car" sounds like he's a parrot.
- You were so fine, people used to call you Mickey.
- You know what, here's more interesting take on this plot: it's the second channel profiled in this video, and it involves an up-and-coming rapper struggling to make ends meet on YouTube, so he accepts help with a drug cartel dissolving bodies in acid. Viewer Discretion advised:
- I never had a Pops? Fucking Hell, I'm on the tail end of a binge of Regular Show and I know what's going to happen to Pops, and this is starting to make me emotional.
- You think you know everything about the music business because money, drugs, and hos? What do you know about the actual business side?
- So this guy's taking Chinese Democracy levels of time making this record? And was this film made before or after GnR's long production schedule became a meme?
- What's the right thing? Get an abortion or let me take Caligula's option for birth control? Crap, was that reference a bit too dark? I think it might have been a bit dark.
- That song is a bit heavy on the murder. Maybe change up the words a bit? Like replace it with "slaughter" once in a while? Give me your phone and I'll download a Thesaurus app for you.
- You know, maybe that DJ would do better if he could focus more on making shit that actually sounds good and not showboating.
- Actually, you can be a killer without committing murder. Just look for legal loopholes, and, when that fails, look for a sympathetic judge who'll make sure to skew things your way.
- Wow. Jason Statham threatening to put the dude's head through a deli slicer was actually intense for this movie.
- And why didn't he put two and two together when he said he was making an album and that he beat the fuck out of Seamus to finance it?
- When is this gonna end? Good question. Looking at the progress, about 13 minutes, give another ad break on Tubi or take them automatically cutting the credits short, anyway.
- Oh, he mentioned "Ghetto Supastar." Get it, because Pras is in the movie and he technically did that song, even if ODB dominated the verses, and Mýa did the chorus.
- Fucking Hell, this is basically that one subplot of Boogie Nights with some beats from Boyz in Da Hood.
- Why is everyone in a Mexican standoff all of a sudden?
