We had planned a screening that would end in discussion,
but then decided to rather have one that could end in dance.

* This is not a blaxploitation screening or a tribute to African-American
 Cinema, but just a reminder that there are other, maybe even more funky and
 fortunate ways out of this mess than making a million or getting the girl.
