Both Luke Cage and Moonlight were written/produced/directed by black people,therefore they deal with issues relevant to black people. It has nothing to do with what you,a white dude,thinks about it because neither one is about you.

Agree with you on Jessica Jones—-while I loved the subtle feminism of the show and Jones being such a memorable tough character herself, the characters did take too damn long to catch the main villain (they dragged that way the hell out) , and really should have been only 10 episodes instead of 13—and there was too…

This film (I Am Michael) has actually been touring the film circuit for over a year and a half now, so apparently it's just now getting some distribution. So this isn't even a new Franco project——he's actually hasn't been in a lot of films lately that I can remember. Guess he finally realized he was getting…

Yeah, I recall seeing advertising for the show,but never actually saw it. And,yeah, it was only around for a minute.

Nice to see some appreciation for this crazy,funny show—-now if I could only remember that it's on Tuesdays now, dang it—I'd be seeing it a hell of a lot more.

Uh,wtf are you even talking about up? Clean wtf up?

Hey,someone who knows their HK film history as much as I do! Good job! I've heard of all these ladies—-been meaning to see China Behind first chance I get. This reminds that I need to hurry up and get a DVD of Broken Oath (the ultimate Angela Mao revenge flick,lol, and one of her best films, hands down. )

Actually, the '60s were a very defining and turbulent time for our country—so many upheavals and shifts in the geitzeist—it's always been one of my favorite decades to read about. Totally disagree about that. Especially since that's when the women's movement and the civil rights movement,and the sexual revolution…

It was actually promoted on IMDB, with trailers and everything—-don't recall seeing any for it on regular TV,though.

Funny how I can't recall reading any of this author's books, but saw them in the library a lot. I probably have read something he wrote, but can't recall just now.

The flying jellyfish pic is actually really cute, even though I know jellyfish can sting you—go figure.

Heck,yeah—-Chester Himes, as far as I'm concerned, has always been one of the more underrated crime fiction writers ever—-he was always much bigger in Europe—-France in particular—-and two other good films made from his books are Cotton Comes To Harlem (a must-see) and Come Back,Charleston Blue—that one's so-so, but…

Just saw a documentary about Baldwin this past summer—-it was shown around what would have been his birthday, I think—at a museum, and I really enjoyed it. I started reading some of his work while just coming into my teens—-like The Fire Next Time, and anything else I could get my hands on by him. It just showed him…

Oh,okay—good explanation,lol. Also, it's been 20 years since The Score by the Fugees came out—-in some ways it was groundbreaking with its slightly weird, offbeat idiosyncratic self, and hardcore unique slamming tunes that still hold up very a couple of decades later. And speaking of more white rappers, how come…

If anyone has read the book about the play "Hamilton the Revolution" and the documentary "Hamilton's America", the issues around the fact that the Founding Fathers endorsed slavery and actual life for people of color in that era are dealt with head on and discussed. Miranda's obvious goal in making the play was to get…

I know. I've been a PBS nut for many years (still am) and turned it on last night to hear another journalist, Michelle Norris, speaking about Ifill in the past tense on the Charlie Rose show, and I was like, "Oh come on, it can't be what I think it is," and unfortunately, it was. I've watched both shows Ifill…

And more Keith Olbermann commentary (via his online commentaries called The Closer) would be more welcome,too.

Oh, for real? The rappers on that tune sounded exactly like RUN-DMC——and that came out when RUN-DMC had just become big——the song itself was a huge hit on R&B stations—-in the Detroit area,at least.

Dang—-forgot that one, because I haven't heard it in so long—-kind of a funny song,too—-time to start tracking down some of their early stuff.

Moby said that he did play some actual instruments on some the songs though. In all fairness, Play was pretty much ignored when it first came out, and Moby started leasing the songs to commercials and things. The CD finally blew up a year after it came out, and I think it's his biggest selling CD to date.
