I wish he'd do more appearances on the east coast; I want to get the chance to meet him.

Sweet Sweetback's Badasssssss Song sucked badly. That movie should've been a porno flick since it was so much sex hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Coffy is my favorite 70's black movie. Pam Grier looked so good in that. I also liked her in Bucktown with Fred Williamson and Carl Weathers. Shaft is a good one also but i like the remake with Samuel Jackson better.

Blackula definitely counts.

Pam Grier's acting career went downhill after the 70's movies LOL. She's done a few bad ones like Ghost Of Mars with Ice Cube and Bones with Snoop Dogg. I liked her in In Too Deep movie with Omar Epps and LL Cool J as a cop. I know she played on Showtime's tv show The L Word. I know the show was about lesbians but i never watched it. Was she a lesbian on there? I've seen her on a couple episodes of Law and Order SVU as a cop. She's gotten fat too but she's still cute. I heard that Fred Williamson died recently. Is that true?

Fred Williamson is still alive and kickin'.

Torgo, have you watched Pam in The L Word tv show? Do you know if she was a lesbian on there? I'm gonna watch it one day because i've seen the tv show dvd's on the shelf at the video store. Plus i wouldn't mind watching women have sex with each other hahahahahahahahahaha.

No, I haven't seen that. I did see her on Smallville, it looks like she might be having a recurring role on that.

I saw Pam Grier in the previews for upcoming movie with rappers Queen Latifah and Common. Hot black actress Paula Patton is also in it. I forgot the name of it but it's about Common is a NBA player for the New Jersey Nets and Queen Latifah is a sports physician. She takes care of Common and tries to get him back into shape after he gets hurt during a basketball game. They also fall in love. I don't know what Pam's character is but i'm guessing she might be Queen and Paula's mom. I'm gonna wait for it to come to video LOL. I love Paula Patton. She is so hot. I got a few pictures of her on my bedroom wall.
