so, this isn't about a movie i watched, but yesterday morning there was a great story on weekend edition sunday about black filmmakers in hollywood.
it talks about why it's so hard to get films made that star black people in normal roles but not something like booty call or whatever. they mentioned just wright, which i love. and also medicine for meloncoly, which i have to watch.
i felt like blacks were pretty equal in our society, but it's good to remember that it's still really unequal.

it's funny you should say that because that's a big part of louis ck's bit on leno the other night. I was thinking too about how Buffy was really white at first and got progressively more inclusive but still not with any major characters and how that happens all the time. i'd like to listen to that show. I'm gonna post the Louis CK stuff, just to make it easier for you to watch them if you do.
