Return

Saw "The Legend of Bagger Vance" yesterday morning, and it made me want to run out and kill white people the whole rest of the day.

If it had the courage of its convictions, Will Smith would have sung "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah" over the end credits. But this piece of gilded shit doesn't have the conviction of the average "Jenny Jones Show" broadcast.

"Bulworth" treated the fact that white Americans treat black Americans as appliances as a source of dark, dark satire.

Redford and Company take it seriously.

I can't recall when I've hated a film so much.
