Keyser_Soze Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Not to be that guy but Jackie Robinson day is April 15. Today just marks the day of the march on Washington which Jackie Robinson attended (and baseball is observing it today because they didn't have a season on April 15) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarSolo Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 It’s wild, he had such a full career, playing legendary figures while working with legends like Harrison Ford, Angela Bassett, and Forest Whitaker, but it still doesn’t feel like he got enough. Fuck cancer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminded me a lot of Andy Whitfield. Not only tragic as they were both around 40, but also both actors made famous by roles where they were in peak physical fitness. And from the sound of things, both were still hoping to return to those roles and that shape right up until the end. Sad to think about, knowing what cancer does to the body. In the case of Whitfield it was lymphoma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer is CRAZY. Anyway I got the Boseman story last night and spent all night cutting a piece about him for air this morning. I got choked up a couple of times working on it to be honest. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 @skillzdadirectaif there's any chance you could share that with us, that would be great. As soon as I had heard last night about his passing, I immediately thought of you because I know how much the character of Black Panther meant to you, how much you looked forward to and enjoyed that flick and also Boseman's portrayal. I'm sorry you're hurting as much as I am that the world lost someone not only tremendously talented, but SO VERY GIVING of his time & heart & soul for & towards others.

TheLeon Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 On the more light-hearted side, whenever I think of him and Black Panther and what a huge impact they made, I think of this clip. Kinda gets right to the heart of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Just a friendly reminder that Disney still sucks. Goochland Drive-In to show ’42′ after being unable to screen ’Black Panther’ Quote Goochland’s Drive-in Theater will now show “42″ after no longer being able to hold its planned special screening of Black Panther due to a decision by Disney. The screening was planned after ‘Black Panther’ actor Chadwick Boseman died at the age of 43 after privately battling colon cancer. Boseman was diagnosed at stage 3 in 2016 but never spoke publicly about it. However, the owners of the drive-in now say that Disney is no longer allowing theaters to screen the movie. “We had the film booked last Saturday. We are both saddened and embarrassed by this, and sincerely wish Disney would reconsider,” drive-in officials told NBC12. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I wonder if it's a legal thing, like when that school was showing Disney movies during a fundraiser, and had to pay Disney $250. It sucks, and I'm sure they don't really care, but ignoring it sets a precedent that could be exploited, so lawyers are always looking for even minor stuff. It's like with stupid copyright battles like Bethesda suing over a game calling itself Scrolls, because even the appearance of not protecting their IP can risk them losing their copyright or some shit.

Don't see how the drive in screening would impact that though It’s actually something a bit simpler. Disney is allowing 12 repertory films to be screened right now, the ones that previously only played in one week rotations of 3. They are only booking them as double features with other Disney titles. So you could play BP with another Disney film, like we did this past weekend with New Mutants.
