Also that people will and do, in fact, show up for Black movies--Black ORIGINAL movies, not just IP. And that the mass humbling the media and studios attempt to perpetuate on Black and Brown creators is naked fear.
Hollywood crying about Coogler making his deal non-exploitive is so fuckin funny.
Yep yep. Absolutely. It really was gratifying to see my dad who really does not like supernatural stuff or thrillers enjoy this movie and in a packed theater for the IMAX. The whole bs about the limited appeal of Black and Browm creators just obscures how they/we never get any chances.
Coogler got his shot after working the studio system for such a long time and proved success is there if the runway is given. It's nauseating watching the trade papers and the Hollywood soothsayers do everything possible to try to limit the impact of an actual original hit.
