Here is a fantastic and very appropriate saying from a courageous man who still fights for freedom. It means “Diversity without diversity of opinions is dictatorship.”

MOMMA THE DETECTIVE (1981) FOR MOTHER’S DAY

momma the detectiveMOMMA THE DETECTIVE (1981) – Happy Mother’s Day to the ladies who brought all of us into this world! Every single one of us alive today was given birth to by a woman, and to help mark their special day here’s my review of a made for tv production about a sleuthing mother in New York City.

This item was the pilot for a potential series to be titled Momma the Detective and is also known as See China and Die, which would have been the individual episode title had this been picked up as a series. The star was the venerable Esther Rolle, most famous for her role as Florida Evans on Maude (1972-1974) and then Good Times (1974-1979).

esther rolle detectiveRolle starred as “Momma” Sykes, a freelance cleaning woman and cook who works for several well-to-do clients in a New York high rise.

When she discovers one of her clients stabbed to death in his bed one morning, she gets the chance to put to use the detective skills that she has honed through years of reading murder mysteries. (It’s television. Just go with it.)

keneMomma Sykes’ son Alvin Sykes (Kene Holliday) is a detective with the New York City Police Department and he happens to be the one assigned to this particular case. His gentle exasperation as Momma persistently pursues her own parallel investigation to his sets the tone for what apparently would have been his “Bert Convy in The Snoop Sisters” role if this had gone to series.

Read in the News – March 11, 2022

HERE IS A REBLOG FROM SP WILCEN’S TERRIFIC AND ENTERTAINING BLOG.

Ramblings


Graphix: spwilcen


NSFW: Coarse/vulgar language, political incorrectness, and innuendo

My newsfeeds keep me amused.

Key:
Paraphrasing what I read recently
…and I thought
…and then, because I’m nothing if not a liberal dewd, I thought some more.

Why the US rejected Poland’s plan to send jet aircraft to Ukraine
…probably because the Usoffa is mostly governed by idiots
.…or woosies.1

Wuhan19 has worsened the reading crisis in [Usoffa] schools
…now explain why people who were adults before Wuhan19’s onset can’t read either
.…reading and teaching take too much time away from fantasy sports, video games, reality TV, and the most recent episode of “Three Large Ladies from Mississippi.”  [Chortle!] Howya expect illiterate parents to home school their kids in matters Readin, Ritin, and Rithmatik?

One of the Kardashians did [again] something inane/cute/stupid/obnoxious
…and who gives a rat’s ass?
…shouldn’t certified loonies be locked away to protect…

A CHRISTMAS CAROL (2020)

christm 2020A CHRISTMAS CAROL (2020) – Christmas Carol-A-Thon 2021 comes to a close with this review of the criminally underrated version of A Christmas Carol that was released last year. This production is easily one of the most beautiful adaptations of the Dickens classic.

The director was Jaqui Morris and the screenplay was crafted by David Morris utilizing almost nothing but Dickens’ own words from the novel. In this boldly creative non-musical presentation each character had their dancing performed by a professional dancer while their dialogue was voiced by professional thespians.

sian phillipsAnd what thespians! The voice of Andy Serkis is heard, in addition to those of Sian Phillips, who apparently will never die, and Leslie Caron, whom I thought had already died. Serkis provides the dialogue for Marley’s Ghost and Old Joe. Phillips is the narrator whose wonderful performance ties it all together and Caron provides the voice for the Ghost of Christmas Past.

A Christmas Carol is presented here as if it will be a puppet show put on by a family of entertainers but instead of actual puppets, professional dancers act out the story. In the same way that a ballet features superb dancing set to music, this dancing is set to narration and dialogue from the Dickens novel. Continue reading
