Rae Dawn Chong is still around! I wondered what the Hell ever happened to her.

According to IMDb, it won't be hitting the theaters until at least June, since it doesn't yet have a distributor, and will need six months of publicity after they find one.....Jake

Yeah, dat were the scuttlebutt. I kept hoping Billy Dee would come mix with the audience. Oh well, didn't have my Landau Calrecian(sp?) photo for an autograph anyway...

From a critical perspective, I think the movie needs mo time in the editing room...but I really did enjoy it...I bit it. Butt, being that it ain't a shoot'em up action thriller...ain't many inthis crowd would even drop a shit on it, I'm is afraid.

Constellation chronicles the lives and loves of an African-American family in the deep South as they are forced to come to terms with a tumultuous past marked by an unrequited interacial affair. The film explores the way in which the family patriarch must confront his demons amidst the ch-ch-changing racial fabric of society and his own family.

Summary brazenly stolen from the Internet Movie Database ( www.imdb.com )....Jake

[Harrybutt]

It starts out way back when watching the white guy/black girl having to "steal" moments together because of the racial mores of the time....then jumps forward to more present day as the woman's family gathers for her funeral and the story unravels from there. Of course, I'm is sure it was more interesting to me, as I was searching the silver screen for identifiable landmarks and people....butt as I said earlier, I bit into the story and was pullin for Billy Dee to do the right thing for his by the end... being the sucker I'm is...

Billy Dee plays the woman's brother and is the central focus as he is drawn back into his family (couple daughters/ex-wife and ex-lover) from whom he has been estranged for some time as he deals with the loss of his sister and other family members in the past and the realization that time here on earth is short & special.
