The trailer for the new movie does look promising

Don’t forget that Sue Storm’s brother The Human Torch became a black man in the Fantastic Four reboot.

Nick Fury (Sgt.Fury of WWII) became a black man.

A lot of talk about making James Bond black.

Black Honeymooners.

On and on.

The black actor in the new Star Wars doesn’t mess with my mind, they are all new tales. To take half century established characters and change their skin color is historical revisionism.

The actual Annie comic strip was anti-New Deal. When will Hollywood make a TRUE adaptation of Little Orphan Annie with the author’s political commentary in tact?

My good friend who is a mostly republican voting, smart, pro-American,, pro-military, christian, star wars geek man has seen the trailers for this movie and this has passed his seal of approval and that’s all I will say about that.

- he is not PC by any means.

Return was great but I agree about the Ewoks beating the 501st legion, that’s like the Army Rangers losing to a bunch of Elementary kids.

The movie also features a guy dressed up in a gorilla costume. This isn't abstract sociological commentary, it's entertainment designed to put butts in seats.

However, it would appear that the pathological need to politicize everything is not just limited to liberalism.

Well, as long as they don’t make Amos and Andy black.

I’m not stressing about this movie. I just posted an article about it.

I’ve seen them all, and I will probably see this one too. But I will wait a couple of weeks so I can watch it in a nearly empty theater. That is one thing I love about school. All the kiddies, well most of them, are not in the theaters. I don’t consider myself any kind of Star Trek or Star Wars generation though.

I would subscribe to that theory. If you want to find a racist, check who he voted for.

It all started with “The Wiz”.

Reminds me of when Richard Pryor talked about how “Logan’s Run”, a movie set in the future, had no black people in it, he said, “White folks ain’t planning for us to be here.”

I rolled my eyes watching the “Save the Whales” Star Trek movie. Insipid.

Amos N Andy were Black on the TV. It was a very good show too.

On the radio you could not tell they were not Black.

Next up: Whoopi Goldbberg as Snow White. And the prince who awakens her with love’s sweet kiss is Rosie O’Donnell.

Is this a matter of the “la times magic black man” article?

Toss in a black male as the “wise person” to magically solve all the problems in any movie.

look for luke to be designated a nutjob who dies ala “redshirt”.
