| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. For as long as she lived, she had no idea there was anything sexual or seedy about being called "Lolita". |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

Y'all do know that actor/producer/gangsta rap icon and trailblazer Ice Cube...
 ...is remaking and starring in Welcome Back, Kotter, right?
Yep, folks. He's going to play Mr. Kotter, the role originated by Gabe Kaplan...
...a white man.
What, you got a problem with that? If JLo can play Sue Ellen, then Cube can be Kotter, dammit.
If you're gonna flip characters' races in one movie, may as well flip 'em all, I say. Hell, why not go all out and flip genders, too?
That way I can finally see that dream version of Lady Sings The Blues...
...starring Michael Jackson. Think about it. The original featured a phenomenal black woman.
And he's a white man.
 Now that's flippin' the script, for real!!!
Can't you just picture him standing there in drag in a smoky nightclub, shyly clutching the mike as a hand holds a dollar out from beyond the shadows and a deep voice coolly asks, "You want my dick arm to fall off?"
You know you can see it.

no i know, i'm gonna get some heat on this...y'all know how i do!
cube as kotter?
stupid.
come on black hollywood. is this the best we can do, rehash old white sitcoms and movies in true "black" face? will smith as "jim west" in the "wild wild west", samuel l. jackson as "sgt. dan "hondo" harrelson" in "s.w.a.t.", "the honeymooners" and now this ice cube as "gabe kotter"? i wonder if cube is gonna do some old jew jokes for a laugh.
cube and others have enough clout (or preceived clout) in hollywood these days to make shit happened. how come cube couldn't have been a teacher, maybe with a reformed street background, in a comedy environment but can relate on a drama tip, with some serious social messages about street life and how to move beyond the drugs, gangs, etc.
even though fox tv is run by a buncha of converservative crackkka mutha-fuckas, they will, at least, give black shows a chance to be successful before lowering the noose.
martin lawrence was successful in "martin". bernie mac was successful in "the bernie mac show" as well as other comedies like "living single" and dramas like "ny undercover". nothing fake, all real, all new characters, (i was going to mention "the cosby show" or even "sanford and son" but that's like bringing out a shotgun to kill a fly!)
be real.
be original.
make shit happen.
if "uncle junior" dominic chianese" and "christopher" michael imperioli from "the sopranos" were to remake "sanford and son" as whites, black folk would lose their minds!!!
