Necessity really IS the Mother of Invention..........

Note to self-people of color may have to take pointers from fanboys. I'm probably late at bringing this to your attention, as I often highlight the serious to the innocuous, but I wanted you guys to take a look at the above Green Hornet fan film. I've known for quite awhile that director and sometime comic writer, Kevin Smith was supposedly attached to a possible reboot of the Green Hornet franchise. Names such as George Clooney, Jet Li and Jake Gyllenhaal came up as potential candidates to star in this project. But in typical Hollywood fashion, Smith is no longer attached to the film and another studio may produce this film for 2009. Now what does this have to do with Black people? Well, as this entry is so appropriately named-necessity is the mother of invention. The fanboys wanted this film to be made and so as the above clip demonstrates-they did a credible job at creating a product by themselves. And this is a regular practice among the fanboy set. I would suggest that if people of color are dissatisfied with certain things-you may have to build it yourself. If you build it they will come.
