I’m making my complain list right now!

Nor edit after fifteen minutes.

Aw, don’t worry, you’re already on someone’s list!

I’m not making a list of fucked-up individuals, either...

He frankly didn’t give a damn about that, either.

Over on the Halt and Catch Fire article, some people are talking about it. I would like to know how to tag people in this. I’m going to add that to my complaining list.

Can we tag people in these things? Cuz @Fancyarcher is still in the greys.

Gonna put this on my complaining list.

Why on earth are you still grey? send a note to the helpdesk, or one of the writers. This is ridiculous. (Yes I know that is almost certainly pointless, but try it?)

Well, they have much shorter dumpsters, you see.

Nobody has time for a list of not-favourite movies.

I was so torn. I wanted a happy ending but both of the leads deserved no happiness!

Totes pretty dresses!

The computer turned upside down. Simple mistake.

I am honestly wondering if black people were considered as part of the audience for this film when it came out. How many people of colour saw it in theatres? Someone’s going to have to do the math for me, it’s going to drive me nuts and I have to go to a help my sister right now.

I honestly haven’t watched the movie in well over twenty years, although I read the book a few times. I’ve forgotten many of the “finer” points. I was pretty young when I watched it, but Rhett did seem like a garbage person. Scarlett, too, of course. Thoroughly awful people.

It’s a real “Tomorrow Belongs to Me,” moment.

And indeed an emmy-winning performance by Hattie McDaniel.

Well, yes. They pretend that people of colour are children who need taking care of. I’m wildly guessing, but I can’t think they were many opportunities for black people to go to a movie in the ‘30s. I’m sure they were hardly considered an audience to pander to.

When I was a kid, I accepted the explanation that Willy Wonka provided them with something they wanted (chocolate, I think?), so they did work for him. That’s fair, I thought. Having matured at least a little, I can see how diminished (not a pun) they were despite being “paid”.
