There will come a point in the next 10 days, after the cabin fever has set in, when the small people you parent, grandparent or otherwise dote on demand to see “Annie.”
You will recall the unfavorable reviews of the newly updated movie musical, or will look them up. You will read of the bad singing and stilted dance numbers. And still you will go, because it’s a children’s holiday after all, and that’s what they want to see.

It's like leftist atheist Peter Jackson making movies of books written by conservative religious catholic JRR Tolkien who wrote his stories as moral homilies.
the genre is nigflic
LOL
Try that in Google.
Why would anyone take their children to see this when “Into the Woods” is available?
I actually never knew this. There is a black Wizard?
Million dollar Marxist want to redistribute your things to the "communisty".
Chris Rock tells white people to own the actions of their ancestors ()
“Owning their actions. Not even their actions. The actions of your dad,” Mr. Rock said. “Yeah, it’s unfair that you can get judged by something you didn’t do, but it’s also unfair that you can inherit money that you didn’t work for.”
Apparently you can inherit scandal and sin but not wealth.
Many of my liberal Hollywood friends HATE HATE HATE this movie.
It is not just the novelty of the black Annie, but also the black “Daddy” and the wicked WHITE stepmother! Reverse racism luring in white money. Stand up to this militant crap. Speak out against all racism.
What ???
Oprah Winfrey wasn’t cast as Miss Hannigan ???
Bahhhaahaha! Anniequa would have certainly been more culturally acceptable by some.
Are we to assume Mr. Rock will donate his millions to charity or do you think he’ll try to leave something for his wife and kids? Is it bad that some of us choose to sacrifice in order to help the next generation, especially now that many jobs are disappearing?
Oprah, or an ‘Oprah type’ would have been perfect. She wouldn’t even have to do much acting, just let the venom flow. I don’t know if she’s slim again or still portly.
I’m waiting for the all black version of SONG OF NORWAY!
The white version was a real stinker!
Looks as if Little Orphan Annie is a victim of PC identity theft.
Ditto. Couldn't care less.
Urban Dictionary says it’s “Nig Flick”, and apparently it’s a real thing.
so chris isn’t going to pass down his wealth to his kids? because they after all, didn’t earn it.
guess he doesn’t give a sh1t about the concept of inheritance, which goes back to the beginning of time.
most whites in this country have zero ancestors that were slave owners.
nothing to own.
there were several thousand black slave owners here. chris....???
