Beyonce isn’t a good actress. Then again, she votes for partial-birth abortion Obama, and I guess that’s enough. Stick to singing girlfriend.

Obsessed is an easy early contender for a year's worst list, but thanks to it's exploitative racial "hook" it's probably going to be a big hit and stick around. And people wonder why I'm always depressed to learn that I share DNA with the rest of humanity.

If nothing else, it appears to have been HEAVILY edited from a different story-track: Beyonce is barely IN the story until the 3rd act, and several male characters with lots of backstory vanish – suggesting to me that what was supposed to be a twisty corporate-thriller thing with an office-sex twist got recut into a "hands off my man" thriller at some point.

Here I come to save the day! Recycling styrofoam from my lattes! I'm Environmentalist-wacko Man! Have children need scarin'? Environmentalist-wacko man! I fly around and poop freshly scented mounds of Mother Nature on your crazy bourgeois industrial society! I won't stop until this earth is pristine…in other words, when all you parasitic humans are dead! I'm Environmentalist-wacko man! (Coming to a theater near you. Rated G for Gorish).

I watched Obsessed today and then read Debbie critique. She is right about the whole whtiesploitation thing but it really did not come off that heavity. It does bring up the point that we need to add to one of Hollywood's liberal cliches that was missed and that's the buetiful blue eyed white woman as the White SheDevil out after a black woman's man.

(Spoiler}
Despite this the movie was decent, not a blockbuster but I feel the story line really failed to acheive it's true potential by making the villian into a obsessed Fatal Attraction knockoff. They had set up many things that the protagonist said, emails and text messages that were read that they could have gone a better route. That would be to have the villian setting up the hero for a sexual harrassment suit. It would have made her antics a lot more believable.

Actually, I sort of like that idea. Polar bears, Beyonce, an iceberg, and the Beyonce Bounce. What could be better?

I thought you meant you wanted to see the polar bears do the Beyonce Bounce.
