Devil in a Blue Dress turning 25

[manyfaces]

I picked up a copy of one of Mr. Mosely's newer books, Debbie Doesn't Do It Anymore, & it looks like a good read so far. Have you seen his work on Snowfall? He wrote a lot of season 2, which is probably why the storytelling was so tight.

Yeah. I binged it during the beginning of the pandemic. There was one episode I think I'm season one or 2 where I saw his name come up in the credits and I had to research what his role was. The episode did feel tighter in terms of storytelling than the others. That's when I found out Singleton had him come on as a consultant and a writer.

I've been reading his Leonid Mcgill series, but I kinda feel off and still gotta finish the last book. I've read damn near everything he's written up until the last 7-10 years or so.

More Mosley books need to be made into movies. I know Denzel hasn't done sequels until the Equalizer, but him doing a series of Easy Rawlins movies based on the books would have been a good look. And it's a much stronger character than who he played in the Equalizer, or for another comparison in a somewhat similar genre, the Alex Cross movies.

They were supposed to make actually make an Easy Rawlins franchise but Devil underperformed at the box office

You bout to have me doing a reread of the whole series. I picked up Gone Fishing at the library one day about 20 years ago and been hooked ever since.

Gone Fishing was my shyt.


I read when I was like 13 and remember being freaked out when the old Voodoo Witch put a sex spell on Easy

Then, as now, I would pay legit money for a well done series of flicks about Easy and Mouse.

Great movie when it was released and i can still watch it today whenever it comes on and i'm not doing anything else. Wish it could have been a sequel or at least another movie featuring the character of Easy Rawlins. Denzel and Cheadle had great chemistry together too which made the movie that much better.

I didn't see a Devil in a Blue Dress so even though it came out a few years later the first time I remember seeing he was in Eve's Bayou

Denzel couldn't resist his friends women

She looked like she had some good p*ssy.

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Underrated movie

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Came out September 95---



Denzel was excellent as always, Cheadle break out role, Jennifer Beals come back of sorts, Tom Sizemore, Lisa Nicole Carson

Pos rep for even reminding me to watch this again


This shyt was super classic Don Cheadle and Denzel were acting they ass off

 

[Sane]

Excellent movie

 

[skylove4]

This. The entire Easy Rawlins series should be brought to the big screen. Since Denzel is (maybe) too old to play Easy now, I think Nate Parker, Johnathan Winters, or John David Washington would do pretty well. Don Cheadle still looks young enough play Mouse.

Maybe Michael B Jordan

 

[skylove4]

One of my favorite movies ever. Black excellence all around!

 

[Rollie Forbes]

Maybe Michael B Jordan

I forgot about MBJ.



If Ryan Coogler directs, I'm in!

I read the book before watching the film. The film was alright but Mouse was miscast. He was meant to look like a short Smokey Robinson... Don Cheadle looks nothing like him. He still killed the role though.

 

[Big Dick]

Great movie.

One of those movies you can put on anytime and just chill and enjoy it.
