"Dear White People"

Post by Stewball »

I'm going to have to watch this again. Some of it's dark ( :roll: ) humor is written for insiders. How was I to know that 2 chains is actually 2 Chainz? (watch the trailer)....I'm white and I keep myself out of the hip hop loop. Best black ensemble cast I can remember (racist!), particularly Tessa and Teyonah. The token gay was soooooo exemplary of the obligatory crap it was trying so hard to avoid otherwise, and is glaringly irrelevant.

On at least one lap top the logo was taped over. :o

Tentative score, 8/10.

Haven't seen it but the taped over logo on the laptop sounds like perfect design for a film taking place on a college campus in 2014.

Yeah. They could have just put a plain back on it but that wouldn't have made a statement--one or all of several possiblities.
