White people making fun of other white people isn't racist. Why be horrified at that?

As I said below, I don't see how any intelligent person could say that Gone with the Wind isn't racist.

Has anyone tried to sign up for this? It's not working for me, I just get constant error messages.

Where in Upper Manhattan is there a Pizza Hut?? We usually order Dominos from the 181st location.

Speaking of, I would happily argue that Gone with the Wind is much more racist than Song of the South. But really, what's the point? They're both racist.

Oh, I wasn't arguing that. I don't love Gone with the Wind myself, but as long as you (in general, not you specifically) recognize it's racist, you can still think its merits outweigh its faults. I love Dumbo wholeheartedly and think it's a fantastic movie, but I would never deny it's racially problematic.

I bought Volume 1 on blu-ray when it came out. I knew about the racism going in, but I was unprepared for the level of violence! Itchy and Scratchy is barely an exaggeration.

There are people who don't consider "Gone With the Wind" racist? Are these the same people who think Affirmative Action is reverse racism?

I would love to see House of Stairs as a film. It would've been too dark even ten years ago, but that darkness is in vogue right now.

Imagine if William Sleator had been forced to write franchises instead of just great YA books.

I agree with you, that's the only plotline that is useless in every way. Little Nicky comes close for me, but I enjoy Andy and Dick.

I would never tell anyone to skip episodes, but keeping your finger on the fast forward button during the James/Evelyn Marsh scenes is not a bad idea.

I got the blu-rays and rewatched the first two episodes last night, plus the end of the international version of the pilot…there is A LOT in the pilot that plays exactly like Fire Walk With Me.

Have you read the original screenplay? I haven't seen The Missing Pieces yet, I'm not sure if all of the deleted scenes are there, but almost all of the dialogue in the bar scene is a callback to earlier (deleted) lines.

No, "gross twisting" is not an accusation of slander. Do you know what slander means? You can only slander a person. That mod was not accusing you of slandering her or anyone.

Ok…I said the mods didn't accuse you of slander. And they didn't. Not sure why you quoted a long post that proved me right.

I'm not sure why we're still talking about this grievous ill done to you on some blog three weeks ago, but as was pointed out to you by several other people, the mods did criticize that bigot several times. Three different mods.

You can call him a bigot till the cows come home. You can also call him a ten-foot tall talking alligator. Doesn't make either of those things true.

Yes, that's probably closest to what it was.
