My 10th birthday was during the WS in 1975. I went to game 6 as a present. I was asleep when fisk hit the homerun and was awakened by the screaming. They lost that series. I was in a bar celebrating having just turned 21 when the ball went through Buckner’s legs in 86'. Someone through a beer mug through the TV it was…

BlackkKlansman was at least as inaccurate. That said, until I see I either, I can’t make any judgments about them.

I agree. It’s why much of the best work is being done as netflix series and the like.

This film got made becuse Peter Farrelly wanted to make it. The film that would have been made instead would have been a Farrelly brothers film. Two notes.... I think it’s great you are telling your own stories, not just complaining others aren’t. Second, I was an extra in a Farrelly Brothers film. They were nice but…

My answer was in response to you saying these films should not be made. I don’t feel comfortable with the idea of telling people what kind of films to make. That’s how dictatorships do things. You are saying that these films shouldn’t be allowed to be made. Who will stop them making them? The government? The way to…

But people are free to make what they want and you are free not to watch it. 

“If the film is written by POC, then there is the possibility of having things done much better.” The real issue here is that this is the story of a white man, created by his family. It’s HIS Story, from his perspective how HE saw it. So yes, a film by a POC would be their story , telling their truth from their…

The Film Business is a business and makes films it’s thinks will make money. Spike Lee’s film got made becuse someone thought it would be profitable. He also changed the story from reality to a more cinematic version as well. No one is going to risk much money of hyper realistic urban drama about racism. They want…

“Maybe have white people call out white people on racism”. My experience is that the other white people don’t listen and the POC think you’re trying to look woke. 

I was asking questions. If it is normal that people need people who look like them to relate too, then white people seeing other people learning that racism is bad is a good thing. Of course they should know that already, but that’s not the point. Clearly many don’t. Now for your last part, people with limited…

I am saying that people say POC need role models that look like them and the same people are saying that white people do not. I am not trying to take a stand, but ask a question. No one can think white people are got this racism thing fixed yet. Look at the MAGA hats. If one MAGA hat sees this film and is elightented…

This sounds exactly like these stories shouldn’t be told or celebrated, not that others should also be told, which, of course, they should. I haven’t seen the film or Spikes new film, so I can’t comment on this oscar controversy, but it seems that there is a feeling that only black people get to tell stories about…

If people think it’s wrong to tell the story of a white person learning to overcome racism (or see it as coming from a place of fear or ignorance) that they were raised with - in general, not specifically this film which I have not seen - then they are missing a huge opportunity. People relate to people who look like…

The expected Schadenfreude is expected.

This story mentions that this film feels like Bohemian Rhapsody, but doesn’t mention the director, Dexter Fletcher, finished Bohemian Rhapsody
 after Singer was fired.  

You forgot Ambien!

Let them eat soup!

I have known a lot of wealthy people. 95% are cheap bastards. Like drive the Mercedes to the church basement to get free government cheese kind of cheap.

A drunker Florida??? To quote a great rays fan, are you Nucking Futz?
