You talking like he grew up in the Jim Crow south. He ain't much |

Mar 08th 2010 | 13

I don't see how any of this changes that he's racist. |

I'm just funnin. I'm fairly certain he's racist. |
|
Mar 08th 2010 | 43
|
Just sayin. He gets the biggest pass in cinema. |
|
Mar 08th 2010 | 48
|
He's racist. I believe it. My question is, |
|
Mar 08th 2010 | 54
|
seeing as we can't even get people to admit it, let's start there. |
|
Mar 09th 2010 | 79
|
Nope. You have to give people a reason to care |
|
Mar 09th 2010 | 143
|
i shared my epiphany. i gave examples. nobody cares about racism. |
|

I'm confused. |

Oh so he had no say in this for almost 40 years? Yeah, head scratcher. |
|
Mar 08th 2010 | 27
|
well,to be fair I dont really see how Spielberg works that word into E.T |
|
Mar 08th 2010 | 29

Yeah, he's dealing with anti-heroes. |

I noticed it in Shutter Island. |
|
Mar 08th 2010 | 38
|
I also remember its use in The Departed was a point of contention |
|
Mar 08th 2010 | 44
|
I dont see the issue in The Departed..I mean, if you know the guy he's |

i don't agree that coppola's use was pointless |
|
Mar 08th 2010 | 37
|
For the sake of argument, he didn't have to use the word |
|
Mar 08th 2010 | 39
|
he didn't technically use it though |
|
Mar 08th 2010 | 40
|
I think you're right. And the context was pretty clear. |
|
Mar 08th 2010 | 47

not in that scene, but he used it in the dinner table scene with Sonny |
