Metallica Budweiser

One thing about Quebec, they love their beer and Metallica. It was only natural to create a Metallica beer. To celebrate the opening of Centre Vidéotron in Quebec City, the band gave the green light for the latest merchandising gimmick to celebrate the city’s newest concert venue. 91,000 cans were commissioned for a September 28 release.

Beneath the Planet of the Apes  end credit

Negro Credit: Beneath The Planet of the Apes

This weekend I was watching Beneath the Planet of the Apes on TCM. I was horrified to read the end credits. I was quite surprised to see actor Don Pedro Colley billed as Negro. I found this to be offensive even for 1970 standards. I think 20th Century Fox (Walt Disney) should correct this offensive credit.
