Summer Blockbusters!

Its the season for Summer Blockbusters. They make no sense, have no plots, but their cast is a steaming pot of gorgeous babes and stylish guys, CGI, real stunts blah blah the whole deal and you have a 2 hour popcorn movie fiesta!

That's pretty much the recipe for a really good blockbuster hit. Good acting is a bonus, but hot actors and actresses are better. What's not to like about Megan Fox and Shia LBeouf in Transformers?

And that brings me to the topic of my discussion, which is every person's OWN blockbuster hit. The one they act in on a DAILY basis. Don't get me?

Imagine your life to be a movie. You're the Star. You have an amazing co-star and you're surrounded by your supporting actors and actresses. You obviously NEED a villain and your own set of trials and tribulations. You always hit a point in your story where the girl/guy you love is taken away, your supporting cast loses faith in you and the villains have triumphed. Then the story changes; you pick up your pieces, you gather your friends and you roll in smoking hot into the villain's base, kick some evil maniacal ass, get into an epic chase sequence that ends in some kick-ass dialogue and then you get the girl/guy of your dreams.

That's an awesome movie. Its an EPIC movie. One that always rakes in money at the Box Office.

That is how every movie should work.

Sadly, for most of us, our movies get stuck at several places. Our co-stars are not the perfect fit for us, our supporting actors suck REALLY bad or there is never a climax and the movie goes straight to DVD...

What we don't realise is that WE are the ones directing OUR film. Its our choice. Our decisions that shape our film. We dont have to be stuck with Paris Hilton for a co-star when a Megan Fox would do better. Why get Ja Rule as your best friend when you know Martin Lawrence is the SHIT. And why live life a down, when you know that you are more than prepped for that ass-whooping you're about to hand out to the villains!

Take a step back in life and list down the following: Who's your co-star, who's your supporting actors and actresses, who are the villains, where is your story gonna go, how epic are you gonna finish etc etc.

Most important question of all: Are you, the hero, worth the 2 hours the world is gonna spend on you?

If you're not, go do something about it and THEN go make a kick-ass movie...

Katt Williams-
'Everyone's worried about things that they have no control of! Everyone's worried about what the next person is wearing, how the other person is doing in life, what are THEY driving, where are THEY living... Fuck THAT! You're primary concern is the Star Player in the Mirror you see every morning, "Nigga, how are YOU today?"

You have got to be THE SHIT to yourself to be THE SHIT to the world!!! CAN I GET AN AMEN!?'


Amen Katt...
