Yeah, there's slight continuity changes made to the story in the series versus the movie. It's not a direct continuation.

It's Star Trek. It's considered (a) Nerd Central and (b) for white folks (no matter if they have Black characters included) by many of those "cool" high school kid types. It might be a regional thing perhaps, but it definitely would have happened at schools in the South.

1. I LOVE this review. It puts into words everything I felt about this episode.
2. …but I loved the Windex line tho! And I'm someone who's lived in Florida before.

They did. It was reissued last fall.

Dilton's in the pilot - he's the Boy Scout that discovers Cheryl by the side of the river.

It's an AMAZING show.

Given that it's a Warner Bros. co-production and WB owns the Hanna-Barbera library and assets, it actually might be easier for them to grab one of the 1970s songs (the theme song I'm sure is a strong possibility), but if the publishers of the 2001 songs are cool with it, it could happen.

Digging through episode synopses, it appears we'll definitely see Reggie be not as nice in later episodes.

I saw this movie in a theater with a mostly full audience. Everyone cackled from fade-in to fade-out, which is the best way to enjoy this sort of film.

But what happens if your surrogate passed all of the background checks the agency did because she changed her name and buried her past in a conveniently easy manner?

1. Who didn't know this?
2. I'd've liked to hear more about Dru Hill, particularly after Sisqo and the other three (Nokio, Jazz & Tao) just sued to get out of a record contract gone wrong.

That article bugged me, because it made it seem like Black shows were being erased by not being put on streaming. A few of the shows listed in the article actually were on streaming, and a good majority of them were fully available on DVD.

There's plenty of reasons why "Living Single" (and, to be clear, the vast and strong majority of most live-action TV shows produced before about 2000) aren't on streaming. Clearing a show for distribution on home video or online requires new clearances, production work to prepare the masters for compilation and…

Empire's the highest-rated show on TV, and Season 1 is already on DVD and Blu-Ray.

The problem really isn't that diverse types of black films aren't getting made; it's that many of them aren't pushing all the way through the film-festival circuit to make an impact with general audiences the way that the "Sidewayses" and "Birdmans" do - with or without stars in their casts. The ones that do ("Dope",…

(I thought I was the only one who felt this way!)

It's not. It's far, far better than that.

I saw "Dope" in theaters - in a theater that was only half-full. It went into release in the dead-middle of summer, which really isn't the best strategy anymore for an R-rated comedy about teenagers (the target age range is too busy being preoccupied with summer blockbusters).

Oyelowo signed on way back when he was supposed to co-star with Mary J. Blige - I'm not sure how iron-clad that contract was, but at any rate this is what he had to say when asked about this movie (and it's…well, here it is): https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Herein lies the problem. The entire reason they dismissed Mary had to do with the financiers (this would have been more than a few entities, common on a small indie film like this) not wanting to fund the production unless they had a marquee name in the lead part, and Saldana was - according to her & them - the only…
