    I will be going and I will be taking my 15 year old cousin and 2 of her friends to the movie and I can’t wait to see it.I really feel this will open more doors for Chris to do movies because of his martial arts skill set! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!

  2. piat August 24, 2010

    I love CB’s face when Idris called him “Maurice” (CB’s middle name). Chris favors Allen Payne with his curls…so cute! I so look forward to seeing Takers…I’m going with a group of females this Friday.

  3. Tiff August 24, 2010

    Two very s*** men! (notice I did not mention the ankle grabber that is sitting in the middle)

    And I love my CB but Ima need him to cut his hair…

    i just dont know if all these antigovt rallies r going to affect movie goers.

    glenn beck is expecting 300,000 at his rally
    al sharpton about 3,000
    there is a march in detroit

    it might affect movie going

  9. black history fact August 24, 2010

    In the 1960’s Black entertainers recognized they could compete with White entertainers if they were BETTER than the competition. Thus the era of combining GREAT dancing and GREAT singing. From this era we got the temptations, four tops, smokey and miracles, michael jackson, and most of the girl groups danced also. Michael would NEVER have become a superstar only standing and singing.

    Today we only have Ciara, Chris Brown, Ne-yo, Usher, and a few others holding up the tradition of great song and dance,but most of our BEST performers don’t get any air time. Instead you play Mediocre singers who have no real ability to compete in the extremely competitive environment of today. MEDIOCRE BLACK SINGERS WHO DONT DANCE will facilitate the return of music back to the White community and our entertainers will be performing for pennies on the chitlin circuit.

    GREAT DANCING IS THE BIGGEST CATALYST TO BLACK ENTERTAINERS RISE TO THE TOP.

  10. ciara has 11 BILLION views on VEVO.COM August 24, 2010

    Has anyone noticed that the White girls Gaga and Brittany also dance their way to the top?
    Black promoters who only push singers, that come a dime a dozen, will see entertainment dollars return to white entertainers.

  11. kody August 24, 2010

    @ciarahas11billion veiws on vevo what do you mean it sharpton rally will affect the movie

  12. lottie August 24, 2010

  16. Tiff August 24, 2010

    Chris Brown looks bored..he always looks bored in these interviews! lol

  17. enufalready August 24, 2010

    Most def will be going to see this movie. Looking forward to it for awhile now. May have to sit thru it twice. Once just to admire the eye candy, and once to pay attention to the plot. 🙂

  18. kody August 24, 2010

    its up two us whether this movie goes number one team breezy t.i. fans all fans go see this this weakend i forgot a scary movie was coming out

  19. VA STAND UP!! August 24, 2010

    @Ciara’s 11Million Views on Vevo: Would you stop with that sh*t! Why do you keep going to different blog sites posting that mess! Ain’t no damn government protest gonna sabotage this film. This movie is already projected to open at No. 1 opening weekend. Please cut the BS! Ugh!

    @Tiff: Gurl he been cut his hair, where you been? This video is old try to keep up boo. Lol!

    Piat: Ooohh….he does look like Alan Payne with hid hair like that doesn’t he! But him & Michael actually look more alike than anything with his hair like that. I think I’m gonna miss the curls although they do make him look younger. *shrugs*

    *sigh* I can’t see the vid cause I’m at work! Curses! I can only imagine how s*** Idris is with that accent. TI is handsome but he is just too short for me to take seriously.

  20. Soulful Roses August 24, 2010

    @Black History Fact
    Great Read!

    Anyways, I can’t wait for the movie. I already have my whole clan coming with me opening week. Can’t wait to see Chris, Idris, and Micheal…

  21. 3364445 August 24, 2010

    @BLACK HISTORY FACT

    You made some great points, right up until this s*** “Michael would NEVER have become a superstar only standing and singing.”

    You DO NOT know what the f*** Michael would or would not have done. His voice was what took him & the Jackson 5 to the top. NOT his dance moves. People in 1982 said Thriller would NOT sell well & would fall off the charts quickly. So much for that

  22. 3364445 August 24, 2010

    @BLACK HISTORY FACT

    I also hate the implication that Michael could not sing & his dancing was the only reason for his success.

    That applies more to the newer generation of singer-dancers, though they are talented

  23. piat August 24, 2010

    @3364445 & @BLACK HISTORY FACT

    I’m throwing my hat in the discussion. One of the things that made Micheal an EPIC performer is that he was a great singer and dancer, as well as songwriter. Most R&B legends either had a uniquely beautiful voice (Aretha Franklin, Al Green or Whitney Houston) or were equally good singers and dancers (James Brown, The Temptations, MJ).

  24. 3364445 August 24, 2010

    @PIAT

    CLAPS CLAPS CLAPS. STANDING OVATION!!!! THANK YOU
    MJ WASN’T JUST A “DANCING MACHINE”, HE WROTE, PRODUCED, BEAT BOXED, COMPOSED, ETC. ARETHA WAS A POWERHOUSE AS WELL IN MANY WAYS

  25. 3364445 August 24, 2010

    @PIAT

    I also think all of the artists you mentioned helped to shape “good” black music & open up the path for other black artists into the mainstream

  26. kody August 24, 2010

    yall make sure we make this movie number one

  27. sara August 24, 2010

    yall make sure yall watch 106 and park tonight chris brown will be there

  29. Oceanmate August 24, 2010

    Chris Brown is too s*** in that cover picture for This story….can’t look at it too long,,might cause me to sin..( just pray for me no i’ll pray for myself) that boi is too s*** (Ha Ha)

  30. Secret Voice August 24, 2010

    @JazyBelle…I feel ya about TI! I love his music but he is a little too skinny for me.I like my men to have a little muscle definition but not too much and TI is just a sack of bones at this point.

  31. Heaven August 24, 2010

    JUST LET THEM ALL BE GREAT!!!!

    Why all of that pettiness over nothing? History speaks for itself.

    They are/were great entertainers, period.

    Nice interacting with the cast, they seem to like one another. Can’t wait ’til Friday!!

  32. PLAIN AND SIMPLE August 24, 2010

    Listen up people make sure that your ticket say Takers before leaving the ticket booth. Wow! I can’t wait to see the movie.

  33. lottie August 24, 2010

    I saw on twitter @wireupdummy stated they will be releases “matrix” video the beginning of September for their one year anniversary.

  34. ~Team Weezy~ August 24, 2010

  35. X,Y,”and Z” August 24, 2010

  38. X,Y,”and Z” August 24, 2010

    Idris Elba comes across as very personable! That was a good-look for them!
    (X,Y,”and Z”) … Will be FRONT AND CENTER come THIS weekend; myself, my niece/nephew and THEIR noisy, annoying, can’t-stand-still friends ….! I’ll be the one, telling them to be quiet and brushing-off the pop-corn and raisinets!

    … And I’ll enjoy EVERY-minute of it ….!!!!

    X,Y, “and Z” — OUT …!!!!

  39. VA STAND UP!!! August 24, 2010

    Ok…um why the hell are we talking about dancing?!?! What does that have to do with this video or the movie?? It always takes one fool to bring up some irrelevant sh*t and completely throw off the entire post. Why is it so hard to stay on topic. SMH!

    Anywho, finally watched the video. TI was a bit loud and annoying in the beginning. I felt like he was screaming at me through the TV. I didn’t like that at all. Does anyone notice how he always puts so much emphasis on his words, like he’s trying to sound articulate and intelligent but it just comes off …IDK..annoying. It bothers me. *shrugs*

    Idris accent is soo s*** and it was cute when he called Chris ‘Maurice’. I couldn’t make out what Chris called him though. *shrugs*

    Chris was adorable as usual. He seemed to be relaxed and back to his goofy self, not nervous and uptight like he has been in some of his recent interviews. I love and miss the curls. *sigh*

    It was cute how ‘Dueces’ was the No. 1 video too, but did I hear Chris say that K-Mac was his artist?? I didn’t know that! Is he signed to CBE?? *scratches head*

    I have seen a couple of interviews, where different members of the cast have said they were the ‘boss’. Paul Walker, TI and Idris have all said their characters were the ‘boss. I guess we will just have to see the movie to see. *shrugs*

    They seem to all have really good chemistry and hope that carries over into the film. I can’t wait to see it! Three more days! I’m counting down baby!

  40. Lady August 24, 2010

    Lol Chris was kinda arogant in this I’m not gonna lie. He listed himself as one of the best muscians in the game right now(well he is right) then said “I have one of the best scences ever”. Then he said his favorite song was Deuces. You better tell ’em CB! And of course Deuces would be #1 on the countdown. I could not with Christopher he is silly.

    And LOL at T.I. he cracks me up when he corrects people. He was like no I’m a PRODUCER he is the EXCUTIVE PRODUCER! You better let them know T.I.! He did that s*** to ROsci on 106 yesterday too he cut her off and everything Rosci was looking dumb lol. I love them.

    And Idris throwing out full name and stuff lol. I’m so going to see Takers!

  41. Lady August 24, 2010

  45. i know thats right August 24, 2010

    these 2 Felons was soooo glad their probation oficers let them travel to do this promotion. Why is TI laughing and giggling like a B****, daym my ni$$a. Chris is so stupid, Rihanna was on the set with him the whole time MEMORIES!. I want to see his action scene too, so we will all know how he looked running from the scene of a crime before he turned himselve in to the L.A.P.D. #pathetic

  46. Lady August 24, 2010

    @I Know Thats Right
    Yep sure is #patheic. Its so patheic that you would come here just to post that comment. I feel sorry that your life sucks so bad you would watch a video with these two felons in it. And why does T.I. laughing and enjoying himself bother you? What about that makes him a b****? *sigh* Yep you are #pathetic!

  47. DDT411 August 24, 2010

    There is nothing pathetic about this movie. Goes to show you that haters will always hate. But on a side note I can’t wait until FRIDAY YESSSSSSSS!!

  48. kody August 24, 2010

  50. PLAIN AND SIMPLE August 24, 2010

    Well Well Well looks like Satan is here asking a stupid question and what so nice about it no one is paying Satan no attention.

  51. JAZ0195 August 24, 2010

    There’s always one lame that has to make a negative comment and then attract more of them to come and hate “sits and waits”

  52. VA STAND UP!!! August 24, 2010

    @Heaven: THANK YOU! Why can’t we let them all just be great! Damn! Always have to make a debate about something and argue about whose is more talented and comparing everyone to MJ or why someone shouldn’t be compared to MJ! SMH! Cut it out already!

    LMAO at someone saying ‘Matrix’ is about the ‘Illuminati’. Lol! I seriously doubt CB could give a damn about the so called ‘Illuminati’. I think it’s about the BS biased ass media, but that’s just me.

    I wonder when they are gonna drop that mixtape for the film. I mean the film comes out this Friday, what are they waiting for?

  53. chrisbrownlover August 24, 2010

    @jaz i know right

  54. JAZ0195 August 24, 2010

    There are not alot of smart people who post on this post looking @I KNOW THATS RIGHT.

    How you gon call somebody pathetic when you sitting behind the computer talking bad about two good looking men.

    P.S. AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT FINDS T.I ATTRACTIVE? LOL

  55. X,Y,”and Z” August 24, 2010

    @My ‘Team-Breezy’ family — It’s like “all the stars are lining-up,” no? I mean, if I’m not TOO mistaken, Billboard will be updating THIS Thursday, the 26th, and on the 27th, we’ll have ‘Takers’ premiering ….?? Dueces #1(?), AND the very-next day, “Takers” opens at theaters? …. …Fate, coincidence and/or the “Hand of God …??” … Whatever, I’ll “TAKE IT ..!!” ; – ) (Wink) ….

    @I know that’s right – Any news over-there, from “Camp-Fenty”, regarding those 1000-FREE Australian ‘Last Girl On Earth’ Tickets/Seats ….???

    … Also, if YOU/Camp-Fenty so-desire, I’ll buy Riri and MattK “some-choice” ‘Taker’ tickets! If y’all are so-willing to share “Front and Center” with myself, my noisy kin-folk/their friends…!!!

    REAL TALK — … I wonder, just what WILL Riri be doing, come the 27th …??? Given her track-record and her need for attention, I can BET, come the 28th, we’ll see her ALL-OVER-THE-BLOGS; doing some s*** that is sooooo obvious that she’s crying-out for attention; but it’ll ONLY continue-to-reveal her “media-whoring” and lack of ANY-talent …!!!!

    In any case, I’m logging off, gone to watch CB 2.0 on 106&Park ….

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT …!!!!

  56. Lady August 24, 2010

    Please don’t bring camp-fenty in here. Her stans didnt even come yet dont give them a reason to……

  57. Lady August 25, 2010

    Chris was awesome on 106! I’m mad they started talking abouy his MJ tribute. Its all good though he didnt say anything crazy you can expect it to be on the blogs though lol. When he was about to go everyone was like “DONT LEAVE” and he was doing the dougie lol! I love it!

  58. jonberry August 25, 2010

    I LOVE CHRIS BORWN! He and Idris Elba were just on BET’s 106&Park both I must say were looking BEAUTIFUL! Chris Brown has turned 21 and has really begun to fill-out! His chest and arms looked huge – not body builder huge but a nice size. I am little bummed however that he cut those gorgeous curls! 🙂

    As for TAKERS, I WILL BE THERE WITH BELLS ON PEOPLE! Every scene that has been shown makes me wish it was out today!

  59. jonberry August 25, 2010

    @ciara has 11 BILLION views on VEVO.COM

    Baby they can march all that they want but I’m going to lead the march to the theater to see TAKERS! 🙂 Now this isn’t to say that whatever they are marching about doesn’t have merit in some cases but hell, you only get 1 weekend to show support for a great film and to have the industry recognize it as such…..I’m just saying 🙂

  60. jonberry August 25, 2010

    In the 1960’s Black entertainers recognized they could compete with White entertainers if they were BETTER than the competition. Thus the era of combining GREAT dancing and GREAT singing. From this era we got the temptations, four tops, smokey and miracles, michael jackson, and most of the girl groups danced also. Michael would NEVER have become a superstar only standing and singing.

    Today we only have Ciara, Chris Brown, Ne-yo, Usher, and a few others holding up the tradition of great song and dance,but most of our BEST performers don’t get any air time. Instead you play Mediocre singers who have no real ability to compete in the extremely competitive environment of today. MEDIOCRE BLACK SINGERS WHO DONT DANCE will facilitate the return of music back to the White community and our entertainers will be performing for pennies on the chitlin circuit.

    GREAT DANCING IS THE BIGGEST CATALYST TO BLACK ENTERTAINERS RISE TO THE TOP.

    WOW, you better PREACH & TEACH!

  61. Lady August 25, 2010

    Oh and I was rolling when they asked him about the Usher tour and he said “nah maybe in the future” and everyone went “AWWWWWW” really loud and Chris was like “You hear that Usher” lol. It sounded like they were hinting at a Chris tour though…..I just want him to tour damn it lol.

    106 was awesome(with Chris) s*** I changed the channel when he left lol. Too bad Michael Ealy wasn’t there but Idris was funny! Chris was acting like his old self and being fun. Thats what I love to see again. He used to have to be so serious and never got the chance to be himself a while back….glad we got the goofy fun Chris back 😀

    And yes for him not saying anything dumb! I knew someone was gonna ask him about the MJ tribute one of these days its been like 2 months so it was expected. Now that we got his answer guess we dont have to worry about that.

    Also anyone know if E! is ever gonna air the rest of his interview?

    TAKERS THIS FRIDAY! GO SEE IT!

  62. PLAIN AND SIMPLE August 25, 2010

    WOW!! Chris is fineeeeee I’m glad I kept voting even though Deuces was #8 on the BET countdown. Got to show that love and support for my boy Chris Breezy.

    Shout out to #Team Breezy love ya’ll

  63. Keesha August 25, 2010

  67. X,Y,”and Z” August 25, 2010

    @Nunya —

    … I think YOU made a “wrong turn,” I think you’re looking for THAT “Neyo-post …!” You can find it over there (points to TGJ’s Ambiguously black-gay super-heroes section), it’s right beside Jason Derulo/”The Dream” post(s) …!! And if you STILL can’t “find YOUR way(?),” just listen-out/up for the “chatty” black-man, who ‘incessantly snipes’ from the sidelines with his back/left-handed complements – and who just WON’T let ANYONE forget – HE impregnated a female..!!!

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT …!!!

  68. KRS0822 August 25, 2010

    ha! I think YOU made a wrong turn. Now that s*** is funny as hell

  69. X,Y,”and Z” August 25, 2010

    @Lady —

    Do you REALLY think they need a reason to throw-shade? … I don’t! I WISH this chat was in “real time” reason being, I’d like to make/place a wager: ‘come Saturday morning or Monday afternoon, AT-THE-LATEST, Camp-Fenty, not-EVER-to-be outdone/overshadowed by ANY that Chris does/will attempt; will do something, no-matter however-outlandish and …. “irregular”, but ONLY to “piggyback-off/diminish that boy’s shine …!!”

    And you can say “you-heard-it-so proclaimed,” from I (X,Y,”and Z”) on THIS Tuesday night, 11:41 pm EST August, 24th, 2010 ….!!!

    X,Y,”and Z” — OUT ….!!!!

  70. jenny August 25, 2010

    X, Y and Z you love Rih so much that it has become an obsession for you. You talk, argue and bash her all the time to the extent of insanity. I wonder “do you have a partner of your own”????…. if you do, why not focus all your attention on her and let Rih focus on her attention on her own business, it’s her life so remember that X, Y and Z.

  71. X,Y,”and Z” August 25, 2010

    @Jenny Aug 25, 2010 12:11 pm —

    Where dem bloggers at? … Where-they-at, where-they-at ….??? But Jenny, you’ve said it yourself and thus “came to the realization”: “You love Rih so much that it has become an obsession for you. You talk, argue and bash her all the time to the extent of insanity.” <– My "obsession" with Rihanna IS my "partner …!!" ; – 9 (WINK)

    X,Y,"and Z" — OUT ….!!

    P.S. — But my prognostication STILL-stands: Come the afternoon of the 28th Or, at the latest, the afternoon of Monday 30th, 'Camp-Fenty' will find SOMEWAY to draw/gain attention, but ONLY to steal-away/diminish some of Chris' shine …!!! And Jenny(?),come said Rihanna's attempt, I'll expect you, being the every-observant "voice of reason and realization" to apologize, repent and beg for my forgiveness!

  72. jenny August 25, 2010

    @X,YandZ get off the internet sometime and maybe get a another hobby or job. P.S. – what do you mean by “apologize, repent and beg for your forgiveness”!
