I liked this-it was refreshing and it helped me to understand Will better. The story fills in little blanks that we never even knew existed, and that Will was never for one second a saint when it came to his teaching job or what he felt about the whole situation. Will’s inner thoughts and turmoil were so adorable that I was second guessing how I ever thought he didn’t care in the first Slammed. I literally wanted to highlight something on every other page. It was the best kind of corny and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I cannot express how undeniably sweet, and yes, CORNY, this novel was. We see how he would have done anything possible to be with her, even quit his job when that was what was supporting Caulder and himself. ![]() In his side of the story, we get to see how freaking obsessed he is with her and how hard the whole situation is for him. I think I just hated that Will seemed to just be okay with everything or that he kept doing shit that would lead Layken on and then inevitably break her heart all over again. It wasn’t that I didn’t like the story, because ultimately I read Point of Retreat and gave it 5 stars. ![]() Probably 6 or 7 months ago I read Slammed and gave it only a 3 or so-I can’t quite remember. ![]()

The Seven Samurai (1954) became John Sturges’ The Magnificent Seven (1960). Some international directors didn’t just learn from Kurosawa’s deep-focus vistas and propulsive editing, they remade his films wholesale. ![]() “Let me say it simply,” summed up Scorsese in 2009. Here was a writer-director from an intriguing foreign culture, but because he was so influenced by John Ford and other American directors, his films were accessible to Western audiences. The New Hollywood wunderkinds – Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Steven Spielberg – were entranced by his artistic, philosophical, yet dynamic work. Kurosawa was already a big name in Japanese cinema when he caught the world’s attention with Rashomon, an intricate crime drama which won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival in 1951. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Limitations by JD Riggs![]() Riggs-Hopkins had been keeping an eye on the convenience store because of "citizen complaints about drug activity" and thought it was suspicious that Rushing, who was giving a lift to a friend, left without buying anything, in the company of a "black female employee of the 7-11."

Strangely, Older Brother only played Kung Fu Guy for a little while. Over the course of a montage dubbed “Older Brother Awesomeness Montage,” Willis elaborates on Older Brother’s meteoric rise to cultural relevancy, culminating in his casting as Kung Fu Guy. He has a good haircut, top-shelf kung fu skills, and scored a 1570 on the SAT. Older Brother was, ostensibly, the pinnacle of Asian success. Sifu, or Ming-Chen, taught Willis all the kung fu he knows, but Sifu’s true protégé was always Willis’s older brother: Older Brother. He has slipped into poverty and seeming senility. Ming-Chen lives alone in his shabby apartment on the second floor of the SRO. Lately, he plays Guy in a Soiled T-shirt or Inscrutable Old Man. He went on to play Sifu, the Mysterious Kung Fu master, for a time. He was recast from this role after aging out.

Willis longs to play Kung Fu Guy, which is the most prestigious and exciting role available to Asian actors on Black and White.
