Sweet.

I'd like to thank the black folks who talked ALL THE WAY THROUGH MY FUCKING MOVIE LAST NIGHT. "Children Of Men" was so great, especially with commentary. Thanks for doing your best to disprove the stereotype.

Watching a movie with a mostly black audience is an experience and a treat. However, it can be annoying when a small group of African-Americans fail to realize it when they're watching a movie with a bunch of honkies. Honkies no likey talking during movies.


I'm not certain that Freedom Writers counts as a black movie. That's a white-guilt, feel-good movie with some black people in it.

Night at the Museum? seriously? um, did you have super-secret black cast specs on or is this a misprint?

Or did you guys mean Hillary Swank is African-American? Maybe ... as much as Charlize Theron is ...

It may be progress - but the concept of "black movies" is not.

Actually, Ben Stiller converted to black. He's the inverse Sammy Davis Jr.
