Nancy Nall Derringer @nderringer.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I rolled down the window, shrieked THAT MOVIE SUCKED and peeled outta there. It was my first experience in realizing how stupid the moviegoing public was. I was 23 or so, and a slow learner. /end 010
Nancy Nall Derringer @nderringer.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I was prepared to tell whoever asked what a piece of shit it was, but once the credits rolled, the audience's job was finished. I went to my car and started it, drove back by the theater, and there was the director and Rae Dawn standing on the sidewalk out front, talking! 110
Nancy Nall Derringer @nderringer.bsky.social · 19/09/2026His parents come to visit, hijinks ensue, and soon the ruse is exposed. Rae Dawn is furious. I forget what happens to his legal education, but in the end, now fully returned to being a white guy, they have a there's-hope-for-the-future rapprochement. I was horrified by what I'd just seen. 100
Nancy Nall Derringer @nderringer.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Finally he figures it out and he goes to the meeting of...the Black Law Students Association. 🙄🙄🙄 He is of course sweet on Rae Dawn, and she slowly comes to like him too. He also Experiences Racism, of course, but this is a comedy, so the racism has to give way to hijinks. 100
Nancy Nall Derringer @nderringer.bsky.social · 19/09/2026So he gets to Harvard, and hijinks ensue. Rae Dawn Chong approaches him to invite him to "the next meeting of the BLSA." CTH and his white bestie wrack their brains -- what could the BLSA stand for? (I forgot to mention, this is Harvard Law, not just Harvard.) More laffs in the audience. 120
Nancy Nall Derringer @nderringer.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Foggy on that part, but I think he augmented it with a jheri-curl perm, and he passed the interview for the money. At this point I was bolted to my seat in horror, not just at what I was seeing but the uproarious laughs from everyone around me. 120
Nancy Nall Derringer @nderringer.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The plot was that C. Thomas Howell's character was smart enough to get into Harvard, but his dad cut off his tuition, and CTH had to look for a scholarship. He found one for black students, and ...I don't think he wore blackface. He took some pills, maybe? With a side effect of turning him black? 120
Nancy Nall Derringer @nderringer.bsky.social · 19/09/2026He said it was a test screening of a rough cut to see how the jokes landed, etc., but he hoped we would enjoy "Soul Man." I settled in to watch. 110
Nancy Nall Derringer @nderringer.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The screening was at the Directors' Guild theater, and as I took my seat I was kinda jazzed to be there. Me, an Ohio girl, maybe sitting in a seat once occupied by Martin Scorsese? Thrilling. The director of the film in question, which I didn't even know the title of, came out and said hi. 120
Nancy Nall Derringer @nderringer.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Vividly. I was vacationing in L.A. when I was approached by a guy on the Santa Monica pier who offered me a free ticket to a test screening of that very movie. The friend I was with assured me this was a common occurrence, AND had to work that night. So it was a perfect solo date for me. (more) 120
