The best intro music of a TV show ever

I'll always remember as a kid waking up on a Saturday morning in my Shaft pajamas. I would go downstairs, drink a big glass of Shaft juice, and watch Shaft TV all morning.
RIP

On a side note, this is now the perfect time for a remake starring Michael Cera.

Oh, we're just gonna make Spider-Man black now?!

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

It would follow the trend. But once we make a character black we can never go back.

In the end it was pancreatic cancer that got him, but if you didn't know he was a breast cancer survivor, you should.

Check yours today, guys. And if you feel or see something, get it checked out.

My brother and I saw Shaft at a local theatre a couple years back. Picked it at random knowing nothing and it was fantastic, and is one of my favorite endings to a movie ever. If you've never seen it I recommend giving it a try. May his legacy live on.

The original, or the more recent remake with Samuel L. Jackson?

[–] WintLizard@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

The original, I didnt know they made a remake. My local theatre does a lot of rescreenings.
