Aunt Jemima is a tricky case. She was a real person, named Nancy Green. She was a cook and an actual former slave. The name was taken from a minstrel song. She wasn't just a "look", the woman actually cooked the product in public demonstrations (like a commercial for the 19th century), told...

Just for the record, if you count every "mixed" player as "black"; it's 81.1%. If you drop "mixed", it falls under 69%.

So, mostly disappointed lately. Thought Black Panther was a wasted opportunity; turned what could be a great action/superhero film into an overtly political preach-fest with HIGHLY questionable morality that focused more on the villain than the hero. Lost City of Z: very similar problems to...

How do your tastes run? Are you comfortable with B&W, subtitled? Jungfrukällan (The Virgin Spring) - Do yourself a favor and don't research anything about the film or it's plot before viewing. It is one his best creations but less discussed than some of his other works. It is not a "feel...

Yeah, that was in the "disappointed" category for me. The setting was great, the cinematography was strong (possibly because of the locations used), Renner turned in a strong performance, the attempt at Noir was appreciated. BUT, at the end of the day, it was somewhat nonsensical and...

I laughed at the whole film, but when Sellers started screaming "MY FURHER" with the Nazi salute, and when the hand started choking him, I laughed so hard I actually had to stop the film.

Also, general thread follow-up regarding The Prestige: Other than that, I absolutely agree the whole film is an amazing metaphor about illusion & transformation, about how in every aspect of life, one man enters a door ... but a different man comes out the other side.

I grew up in some of the worst neighborhoods in St. Louis. As a teenager, one of the only stores in walking distance was some family-owned video hut. It took me a few weeks to burn through EVERY movie a teenager would choose. After that, I was forced to start taking second-tier selections...

So, 23 pages in and I'm not reading all that to catch up. I'm a huge film aficionado, and have been for decades. Ask me about how I became so into film sometime, it's an interesting (and TRUE!) story. Just throwing somethings out there that are fresh in my mind: Ladybird is fantastic, for...

Man, glad I looked at this thread before posting. I was gonna drop a D!ck Pic! [<cena1}

Stalin's declaration of war. See Hasegawa's excellent summation: http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674022416&content=reviews Note: This book, published in 2006, draws primarily on Japanese and Russian documents detailing the negotiations between Stalin and Japan, how the...

You only need to watch the first 3:10 for broad-strokes. Cliffs: He is addressing the inability of archaeologists to evaluate value of artifacts due to cost pressures and how ceramics are favored over Iron Age objects because of preservation costs, and how those artifacts are significant to...

Damn, very good thread. Is it a You Laugh, You Lose? No point at all here.

Ah, perhaps CNN has made an error in their sourcing, but the citation they make of the SSRS study (not "CNN's study", as the reporter claims), following the link THEY PROVIDE in the article, does not support that claim. Here is the entire 22 page document...

Wow. I think she may have just destroyed her own career.
