Pioneer1 Posted Saturday at 05:24 PM Report Posted Saturday at 05:24 PM Talking to ProfD about the ratchet behavior of some of the people we knew and saw growing up brought back memories of Cooley High and scenes like this: I don't care what city you grew up in, we all knew a "Damon"....literally. Either somebody NAMED "Damon" or somebody who ACTED LIKE Damon. Mostly likely MULTIPLE....lol. 2
ProfD Posted Saturday at 07:14 PM Report Posted Saturday at 07:14 PM Yep. N8gglets like *Damon* and the female version *Dawn* have been around for a long time. They were allowed to spawn too. That's how Black communities ended up with crack babies and other dysfunctional n8gglets.
Pioneer1 Posted Saturday at 07:52 PM Author Report Posted Saturday at 07:52 PM It was rated PG back in the 70s, but I doubt it it would get that rating today. I remember the first time I saw this movie. I had to be 9 or 10 years old and I saw it on one of our old small screen black and white tv sets....lol. I immediately fell in love with it from the opening scenes right to Preacher galloping away in the cemetery.
Troy Posted Saturday at 08:48 PM Report Posted Saturday at 08:48 PM I watched it again within the last year or so you appreciate it differently at different stages of life. 1

It's the same with the movie Glory, another one of my favorites. It's been a favorite of mine since it came out back in 1990 and it seems that with each passing decade of wisdom I gain more insight and have more appreciation for difference scenes in that movie.
