well, it seems that Mickey is leaving money on the table from the American market. They are losing potential sales by not selling at retail in America. Though anybody can go online and order from overseas, if they want to.

But, does Disney get the money from overseas internet sales? I wonder.

Young Frankenstein was a work of genius. You have to watch it a bunch of times to see all the physical gags Example when Igor throws the third switch it is labeled “the works”

Good for you! One time we were in London where people are reluctant to confront anyone unless in their cups, and we went to see The Mikado. A woman behind us started SINGING ALONG to every damn number. Finally, my husband turned around and told her to shut the hell up. Everyone cringed as if they’d been struck. During “the interval,” a woman whispered: “Thank you.”

Two words: Zero Mostel.

He was brilliant.

He’s wonderful. Loveable, insane and wearing a cardboard belt.

Dick Shawn! I had the privilege of seeing him in his one man show back in the 1970s. What a maniac.

I heard that about the shareholders meetings. If Gone With The Wind can be sold on DVD, why not Song of the South? Maybe they could just put a stupid blurb on the package, “This movie was made in year 19-whatever, times have changed, we don’t mean to offend anybody,” blah, blah, blah. Why can’t people just get over the fact that things were different in the past? Use it as a learning opportunity with their kids.

I hate PC.

“It’s twoo, it’s twoo.”

According to one of the extra features on one of the previous DVD special editions, the following line from Cleavon Little was edited out of the film following the above: “Um, excuse me, ma’am, that’s my arm.”

I remember shortly after I graduated high school there was a huge uproar about Huckleberry Finn and its frequent use of the N-word. At the time it was written, even educated high-class southerners used the word and thought nothing of it.

Funny how libtards always say we are taking them out of context when they say something that offends us, but never note the context of anything that offends them...

Try to find Song of the South online or in any video retailer. You can’t buy it.

???

alamodvd.com, classicreels.com, vintagesouthern.net, just to start the list of online U.S. retailers of Song of the South on DVD.

Mongo merely pawn in game of life.

Actually he says 'only' rather than 'merely.' I think that's literally my favorite line in any movie ever. If I remember correctly, Brooks says Richard Pryor wrote that, and most of the Mongo stuff in fact.

Try finding the book “Little Black Sambo.”

And it's about an Indian boy!

I remember on our family trips to Florida stopping for breakfast at Sambo's. The menus had drawings of the tiger and the little boy. That's all I remember, but those places were gone later in the 70s. I think one of the other well-known chains is the descendant of Sambo's, but I don't recall which one.
