Quote from: greyclock;907042The ones that only ever result in a waterfall of short posts nobody really reads... oops!

omg wtf

I usualy ask questions in my threads.

awesome ones

ones with crappy titles

looking over my thread history they're either: drunken threads, parody threads, threads where i try to get people do something and threads i know will get alot of posts, i.e. what did you get for christmas?

40% showing people actionscript stuff
30% interesting/serious stuff
20% jokes/spam
10% debate/other

better ones than anchor

Threads with stuffs.

I make very few threads, and usually when I do it's just showcasing something I've made in the art forum.

I make alright threads, but when I attempt to be funny, all I do is trip over my feet.

threads that make people hate me

ones that usually have something to do with gwar of daft punk

I make threads whenever I have curiosity of what people think about something.

What’s interesting about that sequence, of course, is that the crows are voiced and animated as African-Americans, though they’re just crows. Many of those featureless roustabouts earlier in the film appear African-American as well; but they are people, and they don’t talk or sing. They are bit players. The crows are more significant to the plot. While they start out with ridicule— though a rather odd sort of ridicule as it’s directed at the notion of a flying elephant—they’re quickly won over to Dumbo’s cause by a “sermon” preached by “reverend rodent” (Timothy Mouse). They then work with Timothy on a scheme that succeeds in getting Dumbo to fly. That is to say, they provide both social support and practical aid. What interests me is the specific role these African-American crows play. For that role is deeply sanctioned within American culture. Though I’m not prepared to sketch out a history, I can give some salient examples.

Perhaps the single most important example is Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Huck’s father was an abusive alcoholic who beat Huck so frequently and badly that Huck finally decided that he had to run away in order to save his life. In the course of running away he met up with Jim, a slave whom he knew and liked, who was running away as well. The fact that Jim is presented as simple and naïve shouldn’t blind us to the fact that he plays the role of a supportive and nurturing parent to Huck. Here then, at the canonical heart of American literature, we have an abused white child seeking solace in the company of an African American.

And that’s what Dumbo does. A couple of years later Disney does Song of the South—which I’ve not seen since whatever fragments showed up on Disney’s TV program—where the frame story has the same situation, a white child finding solace with a middle-aged African American, good old Uncle Remus. A few years after that, in 1950, Kirk Douglas stars as Rick Martin in Young Man with a Horn, based on the novel by Dorothy Baker (which, in turn, has some relation to the life of Bix Beiderbicke). Rick Martin was orphaned as a young boy and came under the spell of jazz. He was befriended by Art Hazzard, an African American trumpeter, who gave him trumpet lessons and acted as a father to him.

Anything that comes to mind if i think it's worth a topic.

All my threads are shit

Some post about me in which I ignore and quite possibly restate the opinions of others.
