Denise Nicholas was fine as hell. Her in let's do it again.... tell that girl to get that gun out of my face before I make her eat it.

JUST had Baby Girl put me on to this movie earlier this Spring.

Amazing concept.

I had never seen it.

And now this.

As a rare lead, his performance stole the show in much of his work.

I got to see if I can find it. Did you watch it on a streaming service or did you download it some other way?

Damn I was just thinking about him.....RIP

I try to quote Half Baked once a week so I knew him as Sampson.

Shut up, Bitch.

Clarence Williams III, who was a Black power icon in the 1960s and 1970s as the cool detective “Linc Hayes” on television’s The Mod Squad, has died.
Beyond that role, which lasted from 1968 to 1973, he also appeared in such films as Purple Rain, 52 Pick-Up, Reindeer Games and Tales from the Hood.

Williams died Friday at his home in Los Angeles after a battle with colon cancer, his manager Allan Mindel said Sunday.

RIP Clarence Williams.
