Is That a Recommendation, Then?

The opening line to a review of the musical version of The Color Purple in the March 20 issue of Jet magazine:


"From laughter and tears to resentment and fear, the engaging Broadway production of The Color Purple stirs up all kinds of emotions."

The fear being, presumably, "They're never going to let us out of this theatre."

Ah I miss the affirmative action style movie reviews in Jet like, The Green Mile starring Michael Clarke Duncan, also featuring Tom Hanks and the delightful 'For Brothers Only' section with that phrase repeated all around the borders so no sisters can read it, not to mention beauty of the week
