What music should I listen to right now to best get in the groove of Black History Month?

Outstanding.

I recognized the name, and looking at his songs I recognize a few of them (and they're great), but I know nothing of the man and next to nothing about his music. It's now officially Sam Cooke appreciation afternoon, and I'm thinking that there might be a Melle Mel / Chuck D / KRS-One retrospective capping off the evening.

Tromeo and Juliet had an inspired straight-shot at Oscar gold; no one could have foreseen how it would sail into Titanic like an iceberg and sink in the Atlantic of public adoration. And i mean that Leonardo DiCaprio guy, that was practically cheating of them to have him in that movie.

So what tender meaty Oscar flesh is Troma planning up for us connoisseurs to crow over near future? In our artsy highbrow fandom, what's on the horizon? And will I still be able to masturbate to it?

EDIT:

also it is becoming much more difficult to find Troma films on VHS. please give someone a severe talking to.

The town I've lived in for the last several years is flooded with meth. I've known several addicts reasonably well, and with all of them I've seen that they have serious psychiatric disorders - a grab-bag of affective and psychotic symptoms separate from the direct effects of the amphetamines - which are untreated or inadequately treated. Many have at some point, such as in rehab, have been diagnosed with bipolar or a related disorder such as schizoaffective disorder.

Ours is an isolated, rural community. There's no access to mental health care, and the local Rural Health Clinic doctor is quite inadequate when it comes to psychiatric issues. People in the community don't seem to have an understanding of mental health issues, and even most people with diagnoses know nothing about them and have no support in managing their lives with a psychiatric disorder.

Instead, they self-medicate with meth whenever possible. Looking at the actions of methamphetamine in the brain, and comparing it to various psychiatric drugs, it's easy to see how meth would tweak some systems in the brain that are involved in mental illness, providing a brief respite for the user

To what degree do you think that increasing public awareness of mental health issues, destigmatizing them, and increasing access to mental health professionals along with providing more extensive mental health training to GPs would contribute to alleviating the "meth epidemic", which has clearly taken a toll on communities such as ours?

You're not Lloyd Kaufman. you're a Zippy the Pinhead motd daemon that has developed sentience and thinks it's Lloyd Kaufman. and given the circumstances you're clearly a character being played by a Zippy the Pinhead motd daemon who is acting in a movie created by Lloyd Kaufman.

Kind of like if Adaptation got Lost in Translation on Yee-Haw because of playing War Games.

ok, i can masturbate to this.
