The Lo Zone

A groovy place in cyberspace run by author Lolita Files. Come on in. Bring some Pepsi.

 
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 (although obviously I can't eat fried chicken nearly as much as I'd like). If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Church's (that's right, I said Church's) and a pair of Christian Louboutins.
Lo Fun Fact #3
Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi. Better yet, how about not showing up at all?
Lo Fun Fact #4
I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you or take a long time to return your calls. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? (Exception: I will happily take all calls related to business or to share fun/exciting/major news. I'm just not one for jawing on the phone just to be jawing.)
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. I'm always on my laptop and connected to the internet as I work and when IM's pop into my screen out of nowhere, they break my concentration and often startle the sh*t out of me in the process. So don't do it. 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 and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. I had a bird (a Roller pigeon that I rescued in LA on New Year's Day in 2004) named B-Bird (what? that's a good name!) who passed away in February 2009, which broke my widdle heart in half. He loved me so, as I did him. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs and cat, we'll be instant friends, and if you ask about B-Bird, I'll probably hug you (unless you smell...wash first). If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond.
Show Some Love
Tuesday, February 13, 2007

Every time I type the words "show some love" for some reason I think of Steve Harvey. However, those words are the exact sentiment that I wish to express when I suggest that on Valentines Day everyone go out and support
Tyler Perry's new film
Daddy's Little Girls

Besides having the lovely Gabrielle Union and the strickingly handsome Idris Elba, the film looks to be a winner. Supporting this movie during it's mid week premier positions it to not only set a record for opening week sales, but it also gives you the opportunity to make a statement to Hollywood that you enjoy seeing positive African American films.

If you haven't seen the trailer already, enjoy the preview.

The preview at the movie's website, gives a slightly different look at the film. Check that out also, if you like.

    kinda glad to see this "type" of film, fathers and daughters...not to kick the father/son unity, but society seems to "buddy-up" with dads and son, as if dads and daughters have no commonplace.

    best of luck to tyler perry and denea, who worked on the film.

    Cool. You worked on this. That's awesome. Were you behind the scenes or should we look for you on the screen?

    It's good to see a film to portray Black men in a positive light. I plan on going to a mid-day showing on tomorrow.

    Behind the scenes. I made posters (a few with my profile pic on them), Bday cards, etc. I did the graphix for signs (Wheat Street Baptist church, Lester's PoolHall, Rossmore Blake). I can't remember which ones are seen on screen. And other art related items.

    PS. I can't act, dance, or sing... you'll prolly NEVER see me in front of the camera.

    Sometimes behind the scenes is the best place to be, because then your work continues to produce for you and not your good looks or age or any of that stuff that affects actors.

    I tend not to be a fan of TP's stage productions but will definitely go see this one. You got to admire the brother for sticking to his dream

    about this time last year, i was mouthin' off on the lo zone about these "new" anti-black man films like "big momma's house 2", "madea's fam. reu" (black men in drag) and "something new" (experimentation at it's worse). all were shown within the month of february '06

    mad props again for TP, on this venture. i just hope his writing and directing is stronger than his last film. the premise sounds promising and with lou gossett, jr representin'...it should do favorably well. i hope the weather doesn't hurt his box office draw...as well as the bootleggers...FUCKAS!

    Yeah, you were going postal on Ole Tyler. I was laughing all out loud and what not. You are famous in my house, because whenever I'm laughing and on the computer, my wife say's "What did Lance say?"
