May I applaud you for a magnificent example of click bait. Huzzah!

No, I was talking about how crappy The Wiz looks. It was shot on the shitty film stock they used in the 70s. And it didn't make the most of the great cast they had.

I commented on this up thread. My understanding is that younger people won't watch black and white films. There was a professor at NYU who was lamenting the students in his class who were trying to be film critics and historians who refused to watch anything in b&w. It's really sad how much history and talent…

If you're not crying like a wee fucking baby at the end of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," you have no heart.

Yes, apparently there were no films before color film stock. (And yes, I do know that film was often hand tinted and that films were never completely silent.)

Yep, The Wiz over The Wizard of Oz. Jesus Christ. Not a single person looks like they're actually enjoying being in that movie. And it was shot in typical, godawful '70s style on the shitty film stock they were using back then.

Singin' In the Rain number eight? The absolute pinnacle of the studio musical form? Not only is it a hilarious send up of the silent film era, but it has some of the best song and dance numbers ever filmed. Also, Gene Kelly's ass.

Or, have the Disney lawyers threaten to sue you if you talk about your experience there. I bet he has far more stories that he's not revealing here. And let me assure you, you don't want the Disney lawyers interested in you.

Sans serif fonts smell terrible.

No. Just no, no, no, no. Why in the name of baby Jesus would you watch that? It's leftover time, not view something that'll put you off food for the rest of your life. (And no, I didn't watch it. Jesus, I have pecan pie to eat.)

At my house, and we've been doing the melded friend family Thanksgivings for twenty years, and you've described — that's pretty much exactly what we have.

I love you and if mr. rottenkitty wasn't inclined to take exception to it, I would sit at your feet gazing adoringly up at you. Or something like that.

Sure, it's more expensive than a store, but sometimes the question is how are you going to get there. Also, there are fewer grocery stores in poorer neighborhoods because the profit point for grocery stores are so thin. And also, how do you get there, how do you get home with those bags?

Nope. On FB, bit I'm certain how to move between here and there. Is there a procedure? Do we use fairy dust? Honestly, I'm hopeless.

You got me. I'm no social media butterfly. :(

She does look amazingly young, but I think she may have had some work done. Minor and very well-done. Or maybe she has a picture somewhere.

We must be secret twins. As dreadful as the cultural appropriation was, her performance was cringe-worthy bad.

Well, I thought the letter was shockingly poorly written, but she did one thing right — she sent the letter to all the parents so she wasn't calling any one family out. Was it stupid and not at all well thought out, and clumsy as fuck? Yes, but in this one small way, I think she was trying to do the right thing. And…

Oh, so after giving them the photo op she knew she had to do, then she then needed to go on to do something else for this premier. (You do understand that the photo op is just one of the obligations she's been scheduled for at these events, right?)

So, after she's stood there as is expected and started heading to whatever it was she was scheduled to go and these assholes started yelling at her, that's what she signed up for. Really?
