Virginia-Donna The Precious ques generated great debate. Plenty of differing opinions with valid reasons. But-would we be having the Precious debate at all if we had a wider range of on-screen images? Denzel-Morgan-Will action/crossover films & black-women-as caretaker flicks are a whole 'nother category. But why are films w/predominantly black casts either comic or tragic? Why is it Precious or Sheneneh & Wanda? (See below).

Virginia-Donna So... let's talk about Precious. Did you see it? Will you see it? Is this a must see--a story that needs to be told about a subject that stays hidden? Or--does the movie perpetuate the kinds of stereotypes we struggle to overcome?

Thanks again! BTW Donna's birthday is 10/14.
