This is really getting way too crazy. If liberals want to erase all history pertaining to slavery as if it never existed; then why support reparations for something removed from history?

 

[Captain Rhett Butler]

I've got my copy of both the book and the DVD....

One of my favorite lines is when Rhett says “You’re like the thief who isn’t the least bit sorry he stole, but is terribly, terribly sorry he’s going to jail.”

I read an article this morning regarding a push to remove books written by "white" authors from the shelves but now it's gone. Apparently it was too early to push the narrative.

 

[Boss 302]

Removing books written by white authors???? How many books would be left?

Iconoclasm has a dark place in history.

I hope I'm not the only one who pictures the clips of the Taliban destroying historic relics in the Middle East. Never thought it would come to our country but it's here in abundance with little or no resistance.

Next thing you know they'll be demanding Blazing Saddles be removed.

Now I'll draw the line there. What a great comedy. I actually watched it again just a few weeks ago.

Co-written by Richard Pryor BTW, and yes I hope you have a copy on DVD.

Lets all go over to GD's house and watch it!!!!!!

Yep, As I recall Mel calls him "Richy" Pryor in the commentary. I'll have to look, but I think I have it in Blu-Ray, my wife bought me a Mel Brooks Multipack several years ago. Some of them are so-so, but I love Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs and Robin Hood: Men in tights.

Movie Correctness already started though, years ago. We've tried for years to find an official copy of "Zorro, The Gay Blade" on DVD, I finally took my VHS tape and copied it over to DVD. (which from the comments is how most the "DVD" versions out there were made in some sweatshop).

Two Bits, Four Bits, Six Bits, a Peso. All for Zorro, stand up and Say So!!

"Zorro, The Gay Blade"

Doesn't he go by Boss 302 now?

He still goes by Bunny Wigglesworth. I remember the movie and remember George Hamilton was in it, but I never saw it. I had to look it up to see who else was in it. I watch a trailer and remembered why I never went to see it.

Considered a classic, perennial top 10 list of greatest movies ever, first black actress to receive an Oscar, at least somewhat historically accurate so let's make it something it was never intended to be and deny the world of a cinematic treasure. Jhango Unchained is acceptable but GWTW is not. We are entering the final days of this great nation.
