I didnt remember a lot of it and watched much of it tonight. The guy on TCM introducing the movie spoke of Florence and Diana specifically. The play seemed to carefully avoid Supremes specifics but not the movie. I recall Smokey speaking against it but did Berry ever consider legal action especially the portrayal of "Rainbow Records" and its chief? I realize it's fictionalized but they even have identical Supremes album covers on the walls!
Oh omg i watch tcm all t time unf i flew to florida on t 7th so i missed it will they do a repeat. Its nice t see tcm update there movie list w newer black titles so few r shown. Cabin in t sky, guess whose coming t dinner, imiitation of life, and sounder are few of t black titles they show but nothing post 1980 that i recallQuote:

Ooops me too Luke. Thanks for pointing out that it isnt airing tonight.Quote:

studio ghibli I can understnd.
but a film from 13 years ago? network decay.
Play the old Paramount cartoons from before 1950 instead!!!!
