Anyone see To Kill a Mockingbird on TCM last night?

Over 50 years since Harper Lee wrote the book and the film came out and for the most part things have hardly changed. The look of hatred for blacks on the face of that white trash father was something I've seen thousands of times since 2008 by most GOP and all the Tea Party members. It's the look even Palin got many times when talking about Obama. So tragic how little we've civilized.

• One of the greatest movies that have been filmed. Everybody who hasn't watched this film, they should rent or buy the DVD and see it. Gregory Peck said: [on his 1962 Oscar-winning role in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)] ''I put everything I had into it - all my feelings and everything I'd learned in 46 years of living, about family life and fathers and children. And my feelings about racial justice and inequality and opportunity.'' Gregory Peck years later said that his role on 'To Kill A Mockingbird' is the most close to his character than any other role he had played

• [quote] things have hardly changed. To be fair, Tom Robbins wouldn't have been elected president

• I was distracted with thoughts about Peck's huge cock.

• How 'bout a remake? Tom Cruise as Atticus Siri Cruise as Scout Some producer's son as Jem Will Smith as Tom Robbins Mamie Gummer as Mayella Violet Ewell Johnny Depp as a goth/steam punk Boo Radley. Lots of kohl around the eyes, black duster coat, tattered top hat, he leaves the inner workings of ancient timepieces in the tree hollow

• ^ And Meryl Streep as The Ham Costume

• Whooping Goldberg as the black maid. She wasn't really a "maid" maid. Jude Law as Mayella's daddy

• Little known fact: Estelle Evans, the woman who played Calpurnia, was the older sister of Esther Rolle!

  Damn, damn, damn!

• One of my favorite films. I wonder if the youngsters on DL know that the Dill character was actually Truman Capote as a child.

• And Scout was Lady Keith!
