I know a lot of people are in a state of existential trauma at the moment. Harry Potter is over! Whatever will you have to look forward to next? What is the next story that will grip you and hold your mind hostage for hours after you have finished it?Well, the answer is obvious! A couple of years ago, R. Kelly released 12 mind boggling amazing chapters of the epic hip-hopera (like an opera, but for Hip-Hop, obviously) Trapped in the Closet, which began, shockingly enough, with him trapped in a closet where he hides from the husband of a woman he's just slept with. Of course, the tomfoolery doesn't stop there! A twisting plot unravels involving a myriad of unfaithful couples, a gay priest (!), a magical man who is so tough he can bandage his own bullet wounds no problem and who says "bafroom" instead of "bathroom", a plethora of guns wielded by people who really should never even have control of a sharp stick, a phone which should have been put on vibrate, a woman named Bridget and her loving midget.
R. Kelly's masterful storytelling is chock full of mystery, intrigue, and most of all, cliff hangers!
Many have been waiting months and months to find out what would happen after the 12th chapter, and now we have only to wait for a couple more weeks. I found this article at The A.V. Club and apparently there are 10 more chapters coming out August 21st! I must say, this is most exciting news! I don't know about you, but I'm going to be standing in line with the rest of the Closetites, waiting excitedly for the midnight hour on August 20th. I still have to decide which one to dress up as, but so far the only white person is Bridget, so maybe that would be my best bet. Also I have a killer fake sounding southern accent.
Note: I recommend everyone get the DVD, which features a very indepth commentary by R. Kelly. It really shed a whole new light on the film. Also, he's in an leather arm chair smoking a cigar the whole time. Also he says cliff hanger a lot and most of the time he's wrong.
Oh R. Kelly. I really truly believe that you really truly believe that you are a genius.

Don't ask how I stumbled upon your blog, but I'm absolutely excited to find that there's one other person out there who's dying to know where the next "cliffhanger" will lead us in Kell's series. I really really hope the new one includes another commentary; I may have paid $20 for the DVD, but that was priceless.
