How could have I overlooked the fact that R. Kelly has been on IFC for several weeks now, providing the channel with exclusive premiers of Trapped In The Closet?
Well first of all, we didn't have IFC programmed into our "favorite" channels but after we notice that IFC was airing Rob Zombie's Land Of 1,000 Corpses, you can be certain that we changed that problem right quick.
And that's when I noticed the promotional spots, advertising the new episodes for R. Kelly's urban opera/musical/movie/plea bargain.
That’s right: R. Kelly has added 10 additional episodes to the series and IFC will be airing the entire thing this Friday.
From the synopsis on the IFC website:
“In 2005, multi-platinum Jive recording artist R. Kelly launched a cultural phenomenon with the mega-hit urban operetta "Trapped in the Closet: Chapters 1-12." Audiences and critics alike applauded the unique series filled with over-the-top characters and complex story lines, all set to a sexy R&B groove. Viewers demanded more, and R. Kelly delivered with "Trapped in the Closet: Chapters 13-22," featuring brand new characters and plot twists. "Trapped in the Closet" defies categorization: part contemporary movie musical, part urban soap opera, part epic music video, part independent film, this groundbreaking series unfolds like a juicy tabloid story, full of suspense, mystery, drama and packed with unexpected twists and turns. Now, IFC is proud to present the series in its entirety.”
The world premier will also feature an interview with R. Kelly in which he attempts to explain the inspiration for Trapped In The Closet (which are aliens, if I’m to understand his explanation on the IFC promos for the event).
Guess what I’m doing this Friday night…
