Getting (totally) burned out on Hollywood PC.
Frankly.

Only now do the Douglas Adams books make any sense.

Like Obama, Jackie Robinson is perfect human being. Without sin. He is/was better than all of us. We need to bow down and worship his perfectness.
No thanks.

Mooch said that it made her “angry” and “outraged”. I think I’m going to pass on this one. I’ve got “The Jackie Robinson Story” on DVD with the real Jackie Robinson in it. Don’t need any of Hollyweird’s racebaiting BS.

Okay, I just looked at the trailer. I am predisposed to liking it, as I am a Dodger fan, and always admired Robinson as both man and player. Why the heck did they have to put hip hop crap in a movie that takes place primarily in the 40s and 50s?! That’s even worse than the 70s pop ditty grafted onto Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Mooch said that it made her “angry” and “outraged”. It made Michie the Moocher angry? Or angrier than usual?
Probably upset her that inspite of everything, he still voted Republican.

She knows the Irish, Italians etc are white, right??
To: EveningStar
It’s been done. There’s already a movie about Jackie Robinson, in which the white people aren’t all racist monsters. This is just more PC agit-prop.

Well, sort of...He hated Goldwater. He said, "Goldwaterism is Hitlerism." At that point, I gave Jackie Robinson the virtual finger.

Jackie Robinson was black? Who knew? Maybe old Bob can make a movie about the sun coming up in the morning. Jackie was a groundbreaker, but Robert Redford is old hash.

He hated Goldwater. He said, "Goldwaterism is Hitlerism." At that point, I gave Jackie Robinson the virtual finger. Although I'm a Dodger fan, I'm not a Jackie Robinson fan, largely because of his hatred for Goldwater and conservatives. In addition, he played football for UCLA, but I'm happy to say that the Bruin teams for which he played never beat the USC Trojans.

You couldn’t pay me to see it!
