Tyler Perry Presents...nothing different

I better watch that. He might try to steal that title. Anyway, I'm not a Tyler Perry fan. It's crazy how he has this huge cult following. I don't understand it because all of his work seems to be stereotypical chitlin circuit plays, whether it's on the big screen or small screen. True he gives jobs to people, but only because he doesn't want to pay "real" actors. So he'll pay these no names who can't act. It doesn't matter anyway. He will always have two or three roles for himself anyway. How can I watch a full two hours of a movie that's supposed to be funny and not laugh one time? Is that even possible? Of course it is. That's what happened when I watched one of his movies. For years I've heard how funny his plays were, then it was his movies. So I gave him a chance and didn't laugh one time. I'm funnier than he is...seriously. Maybe I have to dumb myself down to watch his material and ignore the stereotypes he perpetuates for a cheap laugh. You know the stereotypes; there's a crackhead in every family or we are all loud and ignorant. Of course he touches on more than that. So why is he celebrated only and rarely criticized? I don't know. His story is good one. He's a made man. He got on by taking advantage of our ability to laugh at ourselves. Now he doesn't have to do that. Make something different. Where's the creativity? Or maybe Perry is just use to making money doing the same thing and afraid to try something different. It's funny how we support someone who makes fun of us right to our faces, but won't support Spike Lee. What a surprise....
