As Xx always says, agree to disagree. But, incidentally, I do marvel at the wonders your avatar must be doing for the image of black women. 
[Edited 4/2/06 10:47am] What's wrong with my avatar? Am I calling her a ho or a bitch? Do you find a beautiful woman in lingerie offensive or is she offensive to YOU just because she's Black? Do you even know who the woman is? Do you even know why she's dressed like that? Better yet, if it were Pam Anderson would you think it was offensive? How about Lucy Liu? What about J-Lo? Perspectives, my friend, this is all about perspective. um...well...I'll just close the door to any discussion by saying that no member of the male sex could ever POSSIBLY, REMOTELY understand how degrading and objectifying such images are for women and how we must spend our entire lives fighting such images. Give me a break StoneCrib. How DARE you defend such an image, much less circulate it.  | |

Please include titles. The last one--Marty, which won best picture in 1955. I only know that because it was a major plot point in a film I love--Quiz Show. The Anthony Quin movie, I have no idea. Zorba the Greek is the only one to come to mind, but I have no idea what that is about. The Jimmy Cagney film--White Heat, perhaps? | |

StoneCrib said: Lammastide said: ...Perhaps if he were African-American he'd feel differently. 
[Edited 4/2/06 19:15pm] I'm not surprised to read immature comments like that, especially from the org, because there are some people who will never know what it's like to be the victim of racism so they truly don't care who they offend. You're point being? DJ Spooky IS African-American and he DID choose to tour the world with Birth of A Nation. It seems you want to avoid/negate any kind of discussion by saying, "only a true african-american can truly understand the pain we african-americans feel" which means no one else can have an opinion that is valid. Sorry, I don't buy it. Especially considering your post about your avatar. oh, dear...  | |

Too bad. Such a nice thread until it got all nasty.  | |

Love movie threads, but alotta non-American and color flicks were mentioned.
Don't love the movie, but Touch of Evil has some of the best B&W cinematography ever commited to film | |

 Night of the Living Dead is a classic. They are in production to remake that classic right now. They are going to make it into a 3D movie! http://www.prince.org/msg/100/183912 News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so. You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop. | |

I'm tied between "The Women" and "Mildred Pierce" for #1.
But the annual series of "Blondie" films between the late 1930's -late 1940's are also pretty dear to me | |
