I appreciate your anger and I think both the media and the developers are to blame for this situation. It's all about money and pleasing shareholders now. However, I don’t understand the last few comments. Perhaps the Jew comment is tied to an upbringing where one's only exposure to the Jewish people is among Orthodox Jews, who are in no way representative of the race. Maybe it is naive of me, an NYC resident and a reform Jew, to think that maybe Jews and blacks could unite over ancestry plagued by slavery and oppression. We should be fighting the system and the government that is entrenched in an oil war that is screwing our country, not each other. Peace.

Ok, you're doing it wrong. Let's use this as your training ground so that you can go out into the world and stand up to blacks and hypocrites in a more effective fashion.
The tone of your note is extremely apologetic - yet you did nothing wrong! On the contrary, I'm the one who making fun of jews - if anything, you should be pissed!
Let's use blognigger.com to facilitate the destruction of political correctness to the extent that in this situation, you feel comfortable posting the following:
Listen you smug little black fuck: Don't be bitter just because my people, who have for millennia endured slavery and mass extermination on a scale that makes the African slave trade look like alternate side of the street parking, have managed to get their shit together and support each other, rising through every situation to dominate and pwn their oppressors - while your people continue to stand around on street corners, shoot each other and then complain constantly.
Believe me that those gurgling judgmental Orthodox herring merchants don't represent my bacon-eating ass. They hate me just as much as they hate you.
What's fun is fun - but if you go around in earnest, blaming my people for your problems, you can count on having my big Ashkenazi foot in your ass.
NIGGA.
Let's practice here. That's what blognigger is about - the death of PC. I love you man.
peace

You're so right about blognigger furthering stereotypes; I mean, he's just totally your stereotypical black, software engineering, James Joyce quoting, self-deprecating, pensive, succinct, eloquent, self-aware NIGGER.
I feel just like I'm on East Flatbush!

Excellent and succinct advice.
In the time I lived in NYC, it was regularly a part of the decision as to when and where a movie would be viewed. Movie with black star, opening weekend, in Times Square? Hell no. Drama with a bunch of pale skinny white folks, possibly - though Times Square was probably an awful example. I think I had hecklers in TS during the opening night of Thin Red Line, for Pete's sake, and ain't nothing more boring than that.
There were varying degrees of how far up the West side and which establishments as well - though I'm sure they've changed by now. Would be a worthy diagram for people new to the city. There's got to be some algorithm involving the theater chain to theater location to movie type to involved stars to likelihood of drama and babies at the midnight showing.
Honestly, now that I think about it, I still employ this logic here in St. Louis.

I was on the F train a couple of months ago and Tommy Davidson's clone accused me of stepping on his new white kicks: "STEP ON ME AGAIN BITCH!" when I hardly touched the douchebag!
Needless to say I was shocked and whimpered, then I looked down at his Ipod and he was listening to Dreamlover by Mariah fucking Carey...I shoulda kicked him in his nutsac, but then im 4'11 and he would have probably made chop suey out of my filipino ass...DE PAIN DE PAIN...

I don't know, BN.
I'm black. I have a master's degree. I listen to public radio. Hell, I even go to the symphony once in a while.
But I tell you, when I'm watching a movie, my mouth opens and out comes the warnings and not-exactly-necessary comments. This never happens during more serious movies, but it does happen. God help anyone else if I'm with my black girlfriends.
I'm generally a talker and haven't been shy since I was 6.
So what gives??

Well, I dunno, i mean - how dark-skinned are you?
HA! just kidding, this whole site is giving me racial tourette's. You know, I hear ya- you've got an important point.
Deep down I guess I realize I'm just in denial that the loudness phenomenon is reserved for ignorant blacks. I suppose I'm being a bit overzealous in my attempts to separate myself from our vociferous brethren (ibid niggas vs. black people, Rock, Christopher, pp106-112)
In the end, an academic might say (better be a black academic, lest a white one go the way of Jimmy The Greek - Shame that our society still has to function this way) - an academic might say that it's indeed based on a biological impulse - the same impulse from which the tradition of oral history and the call-and-response pattern were spawned.
How does that sound? (now you!)

You're supposed to talk loudly in the movies. That is what I learned growing up in East Flatbush going to the Rugby & the Grenada & all those theaters on Flatbush Ave. You just shut up momentarily when the matron comes over and shines her flashlight on you, and then when she leaves, you go back to talking.
The worst talking in movies I've ever heard was among elderly Jewish patrons in South Florida theaters in the 1980s. If you went to the theater in Boca or Sunrise or anywhere near a Century Village or Leisure World, you'd have what some people called "movies for the blind": The old people would say, "Now he's kissing her" & "Now she's threatening him with a gun" or if they were really impatient with something in the plot, "Now he's kissing her?" or "Now she's threatening him with a gun?"
These people learned to talk in movies in Brooklyn like me.
If people don't want to hear other people talking in the movies, well, that's why Netflix was invented.
