Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: ItllBeOnTV: Subject of Sandy Bullock movie says adopted family swindled him

[Melissa P]

A bit of background that's never included in the story:

Not relevant, I assume.

Briarcrest Baptist High School -- the school in the film -- was established
when busing started in Memphis -- as a place for White students to flee
public schools.  White teachers, as well as White students, left the public
schools to avoid desegregation.

The turmoil occurred during my final years of high school, and I remember
it well.

So, I can't watch the movie and not think of that time when Briarcrest
became the option for the younger siblings of my friends. (I graduated two
years before the changes took place.)

A few years ago, I had lunch with one of my classmates whose husband had
applied to be an assistant golf coach at the school; he was turned down
because he wasn't the right kind of Christian.

I think it's an important part of the school's history -- that should never
be ignored or forgotten -- but obviously the movie's producers didn't see
it that way.

Yes, I knew him as the corrupt congressman Kilbride on L: Organized Crime.
Intense, sensational actor. What a loss this is.

Watching the KCAL/CBS2 news channel on the Paramount+ app. As usual,
instead of having experts on to talk about the forces at work, they have
recent college graduates standing outside where the worst of the weather is
likely to hit.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Hurricane threatens L.A.

[PGage]

The story here has not been that California is going to be hit by a
hurricane, but that it was going to be hit by the first intact Tropical
Storm in the lifetime of most people still with a heartbeat. This is still
on track to happen.

I encourage everyone to take all warnings and advice seriously. Despite the
song it does rain in Southern California every year, but it is not an area
that is really set up to deal with heavy rain very well. Don’t put the
emergency response system there to a test they have not really prepared
for. We just saw in Lahaina what happens when a community gets the kind of
disaster it was not expecting…
