Cute, but that firefly needs to see a dentist, post-haste.

I think I would rather see Song of the South.

they can use modern stereotypes but not the old ones?
and when it was released the white people wouldn't even let the stars of the movie in to see it because they were black....
we should honor black people and not treat them like crap.

Um, okay. Are you suggesting that "Song of the South" honors blacks or treats them like crap? Which category do you think this new film fits? And why?

SotS gave a pretty charitable view of life in 1880's rural Georgia, despite the distorting lens of being filmed in 1940. It's worth study if only for the light it sheds on the latter date. I'd also point out that the real villains in the piece were white.

How many family films shot before WW II can you name that address divorce, race relations, morality, and friendship in such a direct way? How many since? Yes, it does need an introduction for modern audiences--especially as most folks think it's set in the age of slavery--and I think the one filmed by James Earl Jones a few years back would make a good one.

So here's the plan: first, we lynch Maya Angelou.... :twisted:

OW!!!

SWMBO just slapped me upside the head and told me that not everyone would get that reference. Explanation on request.

Sheesh, did you have to smack me that hard?

I studied linguistics in college. My professor played clips of Song of the South. The African American speech portrayed in the movie has a strong resemblance to a dialect called Gullah that is to this day spoken on an island off the coast of South Carolina. SotS was not just "making fun" of the way the black people spoke. :brerrabb:
