Essentially, Lauren, you are saying that the blaxploitation film "Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song" is a movie worth watching. do you really mean that?

No, I didn't mean that. I guess it's worth watching if you're interested in historical aspects of blaxploitation film, but I wasn't recommending it. I was just advising some outside-the-box thinking when it comes to movie selection.

Ratings are a crock.

Okay, but this is what you said: The bolding is mine.

Sorry to disappoint. Actually, what I said was "12 white men", not 12 "white" men. If you watched more movies or watched more movies worth watching, instead of letting yourself be blindly guided by the Motion Picture Association of America (originally more aptly named Motion Pictures Producers and Distributors Association), whose obvious sole purpose is to market and distribute their own product, you might have recognised it as a reference to a promotional tagline from 1971's blaxploitation film "Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song".

Nothing is random.

Box? You misinerpret me always, and hound me about me not making sense, banter me and insult me, but I give kind leeway, because you are, well you dont see anything but your own argument. Case in point.

Yes, and by that I meant that if you look only at what the MPAA tells you to look at, you wouldn't have heard of that movie, and so you would miss the joke.

If you are used to watch movies that are worth watching, whether or not they hail from MPAA members, you might have seen it, or heard of it.
