Condolences to movie maker Tyler Perry on the recent loss of his mom. He has often stated that she was the basis of his Madea character that I love to use here on Trooper York. Mr. Perry makes movies that make more money and please more people than any other three directors put together in Hollywood. Of course he is ignored or scorned by the Hollywood big shots because normal Americans both black and white enjoy his work. He works clean and works fast and will be remembered for both his talent and his humanity long after the amoral nihilists are forgotten.
Losing your mom is just about as bad as it gets. May she rest in peace.

This is really sad news. He appeared on the Barbara Walters' special this week as one of the year's most influential people. She asked him what his proudest accomplishment was and it had everything to do with giving his mom the things she dreamed about having, back when they were dirt poor and living with a mean drunk husband and father.
Yeah, the critics hate him.
Well, I'll bet she was proud of him. Or constantly hounding him to get a real job. Maybe both.
