  3. Spam, self promotion, trolling, and bots are not allowed

  4. Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem.

    Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred.

    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

The best intro music of a TV show ever

I'll always remember as a kid waking up on a Saturday morning in my Shaft pajamas. I would go downstairs, drink a big glass of Shaft juice, and watch Shaft TV all morning.
RIP

On a side note, this is now the perfect time for a remake starring Michael Cera.

Oh, we're just gonna make Spider-Man black now?!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It would follow the trend. But once we make a character black we can never go back.

In the end it was pancreatic cancer that got him, but if you didn't know he was a breast cancer survivor, you should.

My brother and I saw Shaft at a local theatre a couple years back. Picked it at random knowing nothing and it was fantastic, and is one of my favorite endings to a movie ever. If you've never seen it I recommend giving it a try. May his legacy live on.

The original, or the more recent remake with Samuel L. Jackson?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The original, I didnt know they made a remake. My local theatre does a lot of rescreenings.
