WOW.

It’s fantastic and I’d also recommend the noir ‘Odds Against Tomorrow,’ another Harry Belafonte movie that deals with race (among many other things) in the context of a bank heist gone south.

That is pretty much it exactly. I volunteer for PP (for Greater WA and N Idaho in fact) and from what I’ve been hearing the tack being taken is no response is the best response.

She also doesn’t seem to get that police-journalist relationships are very important, close and often adversarial ones.

Whoah, what? I actually do think that nurses WOULDN’T be having that kind of conversation over an unconsious patient. Jesus fuck...

So by that logic, if she were Black and they were calling her the n word, it doesn’t matter, becasue it was a private conversation, right?

The last quoted comment by one: “I don’t know why you have to be so hard on her” should clue you in as to why these aren’t benign appraisals of her physical appearance. For the same reason that you or I might feel shitty, humiliated and/or embarrassed by similar comments from dudes on the street, they are meant to…

Not necessarily true.

He went to the trouble of sighing deeply though. While he read!

Yes FABIO! He was one of my (meager) star sightings in Hollywood. We spotted him in (of course) a vegetarian restaurant on Sunset and of course we went in for a snack so we could sit n. next to Fabio but it seemed rude to approach him while he was eating. Anyway a family of tourists gawked in the window, recognized…

YES! Rewatching these now with my husband who has never seen them.
