kjpepperI think I should start a blog about old movies/shorts that make you die a little bit inside while watching them. For poops and ha has and while recovering from losing my shit and cleaning like a maniac all day (nothing like bleach and coffee to kill brain cells!), I called up The Good Earth on TCM OnDemand.
Wow. I mean... wow. Somehow white actors made up to look Chinese (and cringe-inducingly badly to boot)? Bothers me worse than blackface. I feel like just to maximize the horror I need to wash this down with the "Gallivanting Around" sequence from Showboat on repeat for a while, with an additional chaser of Coal Black and de Sebbin Dwarfs.
