Who do you want to see being all sexual and letchy, grabbing the ladies in between pawing his own crotch and shit? Seventy-seven year old James Earl Jones? Me too! Well, Brendan Lemon's culture-watch blog, lemonwade.com, says that's exactly what you can see in Broadway's newest version of Cat on a Hot Tin Woof, I mean Roof. Come on, don't say eww, say ooh!

He's a great actor--was amazing in On Golden Pond--so I'm sure his choices are valid. Maybe.

Misconceived and I'm sure laughable! Then you get to the bottom of the poster and it's the dreaded Debbie Allen directing this abortion, I'm sure Tennessee is laughing...or crying.

You mean you didn't like Debbie Allen on Fame? Or her intepretive tap dances for the Oscars' best song medleys?(Loved the one for Saving Private Ryan).

Blacks were never plantation owners, they were servants. Sorry but that's the truth.

Am I correct, didn't the Tennessee Williams novel have the family as rich southern slave owners? I guess Mr. James Earl Jones is the one with the whip.

Yes, the Williams play is about wealthy plantation owners. This is an all-black production, which, as I recently wrote, might be a fantasy version whereby blacks reclaim the old South they deserved.
