Here at No Regard, we have a strange relationship with the movie Just Wright. It's a basketball movie starring Common, Queen Latifah, some other people, and Dwight Howard. Our relationship is strange in that we love it, and yet none of us have seen it. All of that changed yesterday. On a plane bound for Texas, Endless Pat was presented with the unavoidable opportunity to witness this small miracle: Just Wright in flight. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Well, he did.
LIVE BLOGGING IN-FLIGHT FILM REVIEW: JUST WRIGHT
- First things first. Who doesn’t love a good punny title? I mean honestly, raise your hand if you think you’re above a good old-fashioned character-name-including movie title? Now you, with your hand raised? Go watch Octopussy. Right now. I’ll wait.
- Common’s character name is Scott McKnight (I’ll be calling him Common). He’s a point guard for the Nets (who in this universe, win games and don’t have Brook Lopez) and is inexplicably good. No particular part of his game is emphasized, we’re just made aware that he can dribble while looking up-court and when he shoots, the ball has a habit of going in (we know this because we get a cut to close up of the hoop).
