Our Own Terence Rosemore Shines at Superman Premiere
Monday night, our very own Terence Rosemore, regular host of Old Black Men Sittin’ on the Porch Talkin’ Shit, walked the red carpet at the world premiere of James Gunn's Superman at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.
Terence plays Otis in the highly anticipated film, bringing his five decades of acting experience to this reimagined version of Lex Luthor's henchman. This role represents another collaboration with director James Gunn, who has cast Terence in multiple Guardians of the Galaxy films and The Suicide Squad.
The premiere buzz has been overwhelmingly positive, with early viewers calling the film "damn beautiful" and praising its spectacular flying sequences. Critics are already comparing it favorably to the beloved 1978 Superman film, noting how Gunn honors the character's legacy while creating something fresh for today's audiences.
And the Reviews Are In! The film now holds a "Certified Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes with an 86% Tomatometer score, making it the most critically acclaimed live-action Superman movie in decades. Critics are praising its vibrant, hopeful tone and emotional depth, calling it a promising foundation for the new DC Universe.
For those of us who know Terence from the porch, seeing him celebrated on Hollywood's biggest stage is a testament to his incredible journey from New Orleans' Dashiki Theatre Company, to major studio films. His casting as Otis, a character originally created for the 1978 Superman, shows how authentic talent transcends expectations.
Congratulations, Terence! We're proud to call you family, and we can't wait to see you bring Otis to life when Superman hits theaters July 11th.
Keep the wisdom flowing on the porch, and keep shining on the big screen and in life.
The flash floods that hit Central Texas over July 4th weekend have deeply impacted us all. As we process this loss together, we can honor those affected by taking meaningful action to support recovery and build resilience.
Flood survivors often experience lasting mental health challenges, including depression, PTSD, and anxiety. Research shows that strong social support and hope are crucial for healing, and that symptoms typically improve over time with proper care.
