Hey Chyll, spent four years of college raiding the extensive film library they had..all night triple-features with natural-grown supplements to keep us going..ahem..start the evening with the heavy European art films, always end with something funky..you won’t stump me with Watermelon Man..got to go deeper like Black Belt Jones at LEAST…

Jazz, tell me you never saw “Watermelon Man” (granted, that was Mantan Moreland on the ironic SF role) or “Story of a Three Day Pass”… If you know what I’m talking about, I salute your eclecticity >;)

[1] “they’re nihilists, they believe in nothing..”

[2] i think i saw that lost film-short, directed by Melvin Van Peebles before Sweetback… Shirley grows here hair out like Janice Joplin, and she and Steppin become the first interracial folk duo to hit the charts…

"It was the most heart warming exhibition of emotion since Shirley Temple declared her undying love for Steppin’ Fetchit." (mmph...) Was that before or after he joined the Nation of Islam? >;)

“Ledes? Yeah, I’ll just check with the boys down at the crime lab. They’ve assigned four more detectives to the case, they got us working in shifts.”
