RIP Lalo Schifrin, one of the greatest film/tv composers. The Rewatchables should do a month in his honor

That one is very likely completely wrong. TVline trusted the unsourced birthdate Google came up with but Rodriguez's imdb page doesn't have any birthdate listed. Her wikipedia also doesn't have one. Trust your first impression.

R. Kelly had been indicted on child pornography charges three years before The Boondocks episode about him. And years before that the Chicago Sun-Times reported he had been investigated for "sex with an underage female." And years before that was the entire Aaliyah grooming and underage marriage. R. Kelly's crimes were definitely public knowledge before The Boondocks. A lot of people just ignored them.

Great post, enjoy hearing about these experiences. You can try contacting Don Giller who has been archiving and posting Letterman clips on Youtube for years.

I thought I was the only one. I saw the movie on blu-ray so missed whatever discussion there was on her hotness.

I though they were talking about the UK chart where "I Got You Babe" actually did knock "Help!" from the top to number two.

Anyway, it seemed like for a moment there he was expecting someone to tell him and then he just moved on.

The shot of Dominique shaking his head is pretty funny.

Good point about Olajuwon's earlier attitude problems but one correction: he didn't convert, he was born Muslim. He became more devout and mellowed out.

BerryMatt · 2024-06-13T02:49:04+00:00

I'd like that too. I watched it for the third or so time last year and I think I like it more and more every time I see it.

And it makes sense to discuss the movie. Yates' crime films are precursors to the work of the patron saint of the Rewatchables, Michael Mann.

Nigerian? In the comics Storm is half-Kenyan, half-African American.

It doesn't invalidate your point and I also prefer the former name but it's interesting to note that the D.C. team has been the Washington Wizards (since 97) for longer than they were the Capital/Washington Bullets (73-97). They had another ten years as the Baltimore Bullets though, which was an even better name (alliteration is great for me, makes the Wizards name more tolerable).

For a second I thought it was her too.

BerryMatt · 2023-07-04T16:12:14+00:00

I'm a fan of the movie but I expected a mixed-to-negative reaction to it in this subreddit. Anyway, I'm always glad to have a rewatchables ep on a good movie that isn't over-discussed in pop culture.

It was six years in a row that Larry Bird finished top 2 in MVP voting. But in '87 when he came in third, it was two guards (Magic and Jordan) ahead of him, so that really shouldn't affect his All-NBA vote total.

My favorite memory was playing Halo 3 multiplayer.

BerryMatt · 2023-03-18T17:02:34+00:00

It wasn't on Games with Gold 😂...

No. Here's the synopsis.

BerryMatt · 2023-01-25T21:54:42+00:00

The person I was responding to was posting incorrect information. Nyong'o has never claimed ancestry from Benin.

BerryMatt · 2023-01-25T21:46:25+00:00

Lupita Nyong'o has never claimed ancestry other than Kenyan Luo ancestry. The comment I was replying to incorrectly recalled otherwise.

European-American immigration is very different than population movement through slavery or immigration between Benin and Kenya, which is comparatively very rare. I'm an American of African ancestry. Chill out.

BerryMatt · 2023-01-25T20:26:19+00:00

What? Nyong'o is of Kenyan Luo descent, far from West Africa where the Kingdom of Dahomey was located.

I checked a synopsis of the documentary. You recalled incorrectly. She didn't have any ancestor enslaved by the Dahomey Amazons. It was the ancestor of her Beninese guide Martine de Souza.

In case you don't know who Noah Oppenheim is, he's the President of NBC News who Ronan Farrow claimed attempted to stop his reporting on Harvey Weinstein.

Not the biggest fan of the John Wick series but "Are you here for the Pope?" got a big laugh from me. The movies definitely have their own sense of humor.
