Dolemite Is My Name
DOLEMITE IS MY NAME Written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski FINAL IN THE BLACK We hear Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On" playing softly. VOICE I ain't lying. People love me. INT. DOLPHIN'S - DAY CU of a beat-up record from the 1950s. On the paper cover is a VERY YOUNG Rudy, in a tuxedo. It says "Rudy Moore - BUGGY RIDE" RUDY You play this, folks gonna start hoppin' and squirmin', just like back in the day. A hand lifts the record up to the face of RUDY RAY MOORE, late '40s, black, sweet, determined. RUDY When I sang this on stage, I swear to God, people fainted! Ambulance man was picking them off the floor! When I had a gig, the promoter would warn the hospital: "Rudy's on tonight -- you're gonna be carrying bodies out of the motherfucking club!" We see that we are in a RADIO BOOTH. A sign blinks "On The Air." The DJ, ROJ, frowns at the record. ROJ "Buggy Ride"? RUDY Wasn't no small-time shit. ROJ GodDAMN, Rudy! That record's 1000 years old! I've got Marvin Gaye singin' "Let's Get It On"! I can't be playin' no "Buggy Ride." (beat) Look, I have 60 seconds. I have to cue the next tune. Hm! Rudy bites his lip and walks away. Roj tries to go back to his job. He reaches for a Sly Stone single -- when Rudy suddenly bounds back up. RUDY How about "Step It Up and Go"? That's a real catchy rhythm-and-blues number. -

I would like to thank her for her intelligence, dedication, and sense of humor that rivals that of ‘Moms’ herself.

Additionally, I conducted research in the comfort of my home University thanks to the brilliant research skills of Laura Reiner and her team of Interlibrary Loan wizards. -
Belknap Collection for the Performing Arts - the AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA COLLECTION
AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA CINEMA AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA The history of the African-American Cinema is a harsh timeline of racism, repression and struggle contrasted with film scenes of boundless joy, hope and artistic spirit. Until recently, the study of the "separate cinema" (a phrase used by historians John Kisch and Edward Mapp to describe the segregation of the mainstream, Hollywood film community) was limited, if not totally ignored, by writers and researchers. The uphill battle by black filmmakers and performers, to achieve acceptance and respect, was an ugly blot on the pages of film history. Upon winning his Best Actor Oscar for LILLIES OF THE FIELD (1963), Sidney Poitier accepted, on behalf of the countless unsung African-American artists, by acknowledging the "long journey to this moment." This emotional, heartbreaking and inspiring journey is vividly illustrated by the latest acquisition to the Belknap Collection for the Performing Arts - THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN CINEMA COLLECTION. The valuable research material, housed in this collection, includes over 300 pressbooks (illustrated campaign and advertising catalogs sent to theatre owners), press kits (media packages including biographies, promotional essays and illustrations), programs and over 1000 photographs and slides. The journey begins with the blatant racism of D.W. Griffith's THE BIRTH OF A NATION (1915), a film respected as an epic milestone, but reviled as the blueprint for black film stereotypes that would appear throughout the 20th century. Researchers will follow African-American films through an extended period of stereotypical casting (SONG OF THE SOUTH, 1946) and will be dazzled by the glorious "All-Negro" musicals such as STORMY WEATHER (1943), ST.LOUIS BLUES (1958) and PORGY AND BESS (1959). -

Andy Kaufman and Redd Foxx Return to Stage Via Hologram USA
For Immediate Release Media Contact: Tom Paul Jones 310-383-4991/ [email protected] Andy Kaufman and Redd Foxx Return to Stage via Hologram USA The late comedy geniuses will be the first comedians to be recreated by hologram for nationwide tours; Stage shows will be broadcast at FilmOn.com Beverly Hills, CA (October 23, 2015): Comedians Andy Kaufman and Redd Foxx will be recreated for 21st Century audiences, Hologram USA CEO Alki David and Samantha Chang, Director of Licensing of CMG Worldwide announced today. Hologram USA will use its patented technology to create the holograms with the help and approval of CMG. FilmOn Studios, also owned by David, will create the content for the shows and distribute via FilmOn.com and its 70 million monthly unique users. Live shows will debut at major U.S. venues and tour the United States in 2016. Andy Kaufman is one of the most important comedians of the late 20th Century. He changed Amercia’s comic sensibility forever by actually avoiding the telling of jokes—his acts were essentially perfomance art. The great Carl Reiner said of Kaufman’s many charcters from Latka on the celebrated ABC show Taxi to his mean-spririted lounge singer, Tony Clifton: "Nobody can see past the edges, where the character begins and he ends.” Kauffman appeared on the debut episode of Saturday Night Live in 1975, and was a regular until his death in 1985. Redd Foxx broke ground for the comedy genre in the late sixties with revolutionary work that violated taboos from race to sex. -
