Long, but interesting.

I didn't realize Eazy E was just supposed to be bankrolling the thing, and not a rapper.. kind of a happy accident it worked out the way it did

This may be a better thread for the entertainment forum. Regardless, I gave Straight Outta Compton 3.5/5 stars. (I saw the director's cut). I enjoyed the first half immensely, very action-packed and depicted Compton at the time properly. The second half dragged a bit I thought.

Paul Giamatti is a great actor, and he was great as Heller. Ice Cube's son was great too.

What about the rest of your community service sentencing?

Me and a buddy were leaving the man from uncle. a terrible movie by the way.

And we stopped in at the beginning of this movie. Watched the the whole thing. Was great. Figured the threater owed me one.

It was a bit long.. but subsequent to Ice Cube leaving the story line splintered into several different parts, and it wouldnt have made sense without touching on all of them.

I just thought it was interesting they weren't interested in rapping, they were trying to start a label, and the talent they brought in didn't like the lyrics Ice Cube wrote.

Coincidentally, back in '93 me and a buddy bought tickets to "Groundhog Day" with full intent of watching "CB4" instead. "CB4" is a "Straight Outta Compton" spoof 22 years before its time. Unfortunately for us, some dingleberry theater attendant spotted a couple fifteen-year-olds entering the R-rated movie and booted us over to the movie we bought tickets for.

Most people will agree that the attendant did us a favor, but I will forever be salty towards "Groundhog Day" because it's not the movie we wanted to see.

I prefer the Man From UNCLE. Alicia Vikander and directed by Guy Ritchie.

Both CB4 and Groundhog Day are classics.
