I love that photo of Lars and Richard Rush. And your partial picture of the projection booth -- I wish I'd been able to get a photo of the whole thing.

Great festival coverage -- I enjoyed it so much that I included it in this week's AFF-focused Film Blog Group Hug on Cinematical.

Oh, that's a lovely photo. Saw the film on Tuesday and it's just as funny as it was the first time, especially the scene from which that still was taken.

Re: Old Ass Movies: The Delightful Racism of ‘Song of the South’

I have to disagree with RobertFure. Both this film and "Birth of a Nation" were considered racist when they were released, and many groups protested the films. They were not considered the normal products of their time. Having said that, I do think that this movie should be accessible to people because there are a lot of people who saw it as kids and retain a fond nostalgia for the film, claiming "it's not all that bad." I was one of them. When I got my hands on a copy, I lasted no more than 15 minutes -- it's full of awful racial stereotyping that completely eradicated my childhood nostalgia.
