I think an under discussed aspect of Sinners’ success is that the movies used to be a place you could go to see sex and music, probably the things human beings enjoy the most, and things that have been almost totally absent from most wide-release modern movies.

Voters aren’t machines you can tweak with knobs and dials but the Democrats operate like they are. People back politicians that make them feel good. Sometimes it’s Obama, sometimes it’s Trump.

Barron Trump will still be collecting money for his dad's presidential library in 2075, not a single shovel full of dirt having been moved. It'll be a generational boondoggle.

I feel like all these "it's hard being a man" weirdos already have whining like a bitch down so which part of being a man are they missing?

I don't think people actually care about safety. If they did, they would never roll around with two ton weapons piloted by people who can't read a drive-thru menu.

I've always thought there should be a biopic about Rube Foster and the Negro Leagues. Coogler would be perfect for it.

*taps mic* Just want to say that Ryan Coogler is not the “Black [Insert White Director Here]” He is Ryan Coogler. Respect him and his craft.
