I can't hear the audio on the clip...but it might be me.

I don't know if I'll be able to see it when it opens--money is tight and when you've got a family you can't up and go to the movies like the old days. But I WANT to. For a few reasons. I like Outkast, and believe they've made a number of choices that push the boundaries of early 21st century black pop culture. And the movie appears to be in the vein of LIFE or HARLEM NIGHTS--both underrated in my opinion.

But the third reason is that I've been to Idlewild. My mother's family still owns land there. It was one of the most storied African American summer resorts in the Midwest and in the country. To the extent that the movie attempts to recapture that (even if they're not referring to the REAL idlewild) I'm with it.
