"Gone with the Wind" will be returning to HBO Max with some new material.

The 1939 film was pulled from HBO Max amid heightened racial tension around the world following the death of George Floyd, who died while in police custody after officer Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck for over eight minutes.

When the film returns to the streaming service -- the date of which is still unclear -- it will include an introduction from Jacqueline Stewart, a Turner Classic Movies host and professor in the Department of Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Chicago.

I have seen her on TCM. She seems knowledgeable. What are you going to say but the truth. The movie was made in the late 1930’s and dealt with plantation living and slavery. In a way it made fun of the whole period. Gables character Rhett Butler had contempt for plantation culture.

A lot of dogs and cats will be enjoying these seven propaganda minutes (brought to you by the thought police).

She looks like Jerry Mahoney's sidekick, Knucklehead.

She won that Oscar, not because she was black, but because she turned in the best performance in a supporting role.

Please do not sully their programmed blindness with truth. You know those are the scenes during which they’ve been taught to take a bathroom break.

I can see the politically correct introduction to Woody Allen’s classic “Sleeper”:

“No matter what this film says, science has proven that smoking really is bad for you.....”

;-)

“Black scholar?” Is there a “white scholar?”

I love a lot of the old movies. Even got my kids interested in watching a bunch of silent movies. My wife thought that was dumb and the little kids wouldn’t like them - they loved them!

I think with Gone with the Wind I was expecting more of a war movie, and not so much a love story. I’m sure it is so much more than that but it just wasn’t for me.

My wife and I watched “Citizen Kane” after hearing so much about it, and how it was rated so highly. Neither one of us “got it”! It wasn’t until later that I found out it was so special for the way they filmed it.

In the old soviet days in the USSR they would always put a political message before films or live entertainment. Who didn’t see this coming?

They’re really ramping it up now. I usually watch ID Discovery and every other commercial was some message about supporting racial justice and then then ran BLACK LIVES MATTER across the screen. A communist cop killer organization. YAH!! ID Discovery...idiots.

HBO must be smoking crack. The movies been sold out on Amazon everywhere. You can only get it from third party sellers at higher prices.
Who the heck needs HBO nonsense from some ugly broad spewing out woke BLM garbage?
FU HBO.

I remember buying one of the old Warner Bros/Bugs Bunny DVDs that included an “introduction” from Whoopi Goldberg about the cartoons and their era, cultural norms during the time, etc. We all groaned when we saw her show up. Garbage. We don’t need an “introduction” or history lesson before watching a movie or show.

The Parkman name is familiar to me. I've heard of Francis Parkman. The Parkman were related to the Shaw family of Boston. A son, Robert Gould Shaw was the Colonel of the 54th Massachusetts Regiment during the Civil War. They were featured in the movie "Glory." Shaw's wife was Anna Kneeland Haggerty. Her mother was Elizabeth Sedgwick Kneeland, and I'm related through her to the Kneelands of Kneeland Manor, Lanarkshire, Scotland. I spent many years researching the 54th and 55th Massachusetts Regiments. Tracked down family members of Robert Gould Shaw's, along with descendants of his wife's sister, and never knew of the connection until just now when I did a search for Parkman and Shaw connections. Shaw died on Morris Island in July 1863, only months after they'd married, and left no issue. She died in Boston in 1907.

Here's a link to the Parkman/Shaw connection:

Parkman Genealogy

Back then, a lot of Boston families were related to each other. Shaw's mother and father were cousins I believe. After all the years I spent researching them, and all it took was your mentioning Francis Parkman for me to realize my connection to Anna Kneeland Haggerty. Thanks for the assist :-)

Thank God I recorded GWTW on VHS tape back in the late 80’s. I just need to transfer it to DVD and have no garbage. I need to start buying up old DVD movies & shows before they screw everything.
