Teenaged J.D. goes to see his beloved grandmother, MawMaw, in the hospital where she has pneumonia. J.D. knows that older people often die of pneumonia.
J.D.: Are you going to die?
MawMaw: I don’t know.
[repeat several times]
J.D.: Just tell me. Are you going to die in here?
MawMaw: I don’t goddamn know.
J.D.: People know. Some people do.
MawMaw: No they don’t.
J.D.: Native Americans.
MawMaw: They’re called Indians, like the Cleveland Indians. And they don’t know, any more than other people. They’re not magic, just ’cause they don’t have microwaves.

Good morning. I wanted to let you know that your Gravatar account here:

Doesn’t display your website and it might prevent people from finding it sometimes. 😀

Thanks. I followed the link and I think I fixed it.
I never understood Gravatar before. When I click on someone’s icon and end up on their Gravatar page, usually the page is empty and I can’t get to their blog. So I just thought Gravatar was useless.

I think it may have happened. The movie is based on a memoir.

It might become available some time.
It’s taking flak from the critics for having a sympathetic view of working-class Appalachian white people, so it’s nice that it is still up on Netflix. Apart from its being a good film, I “voted” for reality by watching it.
