Thank you very much. The insights, memories...Yes. Thank you very much. The insights, memories, and humor have brought a lot of good things to my attention, and helped me see some things I thought were familiar in new ways.<BR/><BR/>There are now a dozen films in my Netflix queue that I have not seen and that would not have gotten there otherwise. Imitation of Life is near the top. ...and if I ever meet a guy selling bootleg Soul Train DVDs, I'll be sure to look down the street, both ways, carefully, before making a purchase.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13699554279457207877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14169925.post-64481627187128610132008-03-03T20:54:00.000-05:002008-03-03T20:54:00.000-05:00Wonderful!

I've gone back to read some of your stuff (it's how I found the link I put in my Mahogany review), and you too have a distinct take on things that I've enjoyed. Thanks again!<BR/><BR/>Brother Boone, you got <I>thirty</I> pieces from me (you'll see when I post a one page link to them all later). They always shortchangin' a bruva. :) <BR/><BR/>Seriously, your kind words mean a lot. If this short, one-man attempt to elevate Black History Mumf doesn't get me on Oprah (not like that, damn!), hopefully it'll get me on 106th and Park...so I can blast BET on BET! With my luck, they'll shoot me in my ass.odienatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10926978706604468636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14169925.post-13973502639629871782008-03-02T04:56:00.000-05:002008-03-02T04:56:00.000-05:00I really enjoyed your Black History month odienato...I really enjoyed your Black History month odienator!<BR/><BR/>It was great to read about the films you covered from your unique and very personal vantage point<BR/><BR/>In all honesty, I often get tired of reading about films from the white/male perspective so I try to look for alternatives and you provided one in February that I definitely appreciated.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14169925.post-31754346513746809422008-03-01T15:02:00.000-05:002008-03-01T15:02:00.000-05:00I've really enjoyed all of this month's posts.

Surfaces, layers, reflections and always a beautiful bait-and-switch that leaves the reader in tears. As for <I>Fear Eats the Soul</I>, Fassbinder's shots in that movie are like your sentences: clear, bright, direct, quietly devastating.<BR/><BR/>Your deceptive "surface" is the fact that you're a hilarious mofo. <BR/><BR/>[Grandiose portion --->] While you (temporarily?) deprive the world of novels, screenplays and memoirs, at least I now have 29-entry digest of your brilliance to point people to.<BR/><BR/>This is the first time in my life that Black History Month (sic) has actually inspired me.Steven Boonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533736956366847765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14169925.post-4745321672464952422008-03-01T10:23:00.000-05:002008-03-01T10:23:00.000-05:00Thanks, Matt.
