I am so sorry about the kitty, Burrell. And Nora, in my mind, is Nora Dierdre, and I get her confused with NoiseDesign!
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

Ann, that's a ferret.
All sympathies, Burrell.
Hil, for what it's worth, blackface/minstrel shows were very popular in 19th century America. By the time Jolson made The Jazz Singer, mainstream white America would have thought "kind of old-fashioned" more than "racist." Even into the 1940s, Holiday Inn included a blackface number without apology (although in that one, there was a plot reason given, for what that is or isn't worth).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
White Christmas has one, too, doesn't it?

Is there an NYCista around who could school me on where KGBbar is and what it's near? I'm trying to figure out an adventure, and a Bolt bus may be involved - all new territory for me where New York is concerned.

Because books.
I don't remember -- what was the reaction to RDJ doing the black character in Tropic Thunder?

Yes, and apparently it is cut from most of the DVDs. I also understand it is one of the worst numbers in the movie.
I have not seen it.

The thing with the Crystal bit, is why? Weren't the other scenes movie references - the whole Beiber thing wasn't, was it? and then SDJ in there makes no sense.
Doing something offensive is just not ok, but when it doesn't even make sense in the scope of the bit, it is a whole other level of why.
Traditional weren't the movie bits with the opening JUST nominated films? Did this openeing even hold to that? I have forgotten most of it, I think. There was a Descendents bit and what else, then Beiber, then what? and ending with Mission Impossible for no other reason than Tom Cruise was gonna be there, or is the film tied to the network in some way?

It is no "Sisters," for sure.

Yeah. I've seen a few Judy Garland movies from when she was a teenager that include blackface numbers, and they're pretty much presented as, "Let's do one of those good old fashioned minstrel shows, like the old-timey folks used to do."
