Entertainment media is being weird over a Black-directed movie again, example #4532 (Btw each of these articles are written by non-Black journalists)

I feel like we have all reached the point where we assume that even if Russia or China have scored some massive espionage score by putting the worst people in power in America, the victory is tragically Pyrrhic, as globally, we are all going to pay horribly for it.

Dear Hollywood Reporter, Y'all should not be surprised that Black folks go to movies. In fact, I wrote an entire book about how Hollywood was shocked by this exact phenomenon when it occurred 55 years ago. You might want to look into it, because it's embarrassing when you express surprise at this.

I’ll stop talking about SINNERS but as a 33 year old Irishman the two big Irish folk songs are so lovely and incredible I wish there was a full album of Ludwig and Jack O’Connell take on these tracks. One of the best versions of the Rocky Road to Dublin I’ve ever heard

God love Ryan Coogler for taking his clout from Black Panther and David Zaslav’s money to make a horny, gory, morally grey, politically complicated, very funny original adult art movie shot on IMAX 65mm for real—that a bunch of industry insiders were rooting for to fail.

I suspect SINNERS is going to have legs and that it will do a lot of repeat business to the point where it will get more IMAX runs when other summer movies underperform. The only other movie I really sense any genuine anticipation for out there this summer is, oddly, 28 YEARS LATER.

Sinners is structurally fascinating because 2/3rds of the movie is a drama and the drama works extremely well. When the horror kicks in the entire film just kicks into a whole new gear and it's not jarring.

I love this film. I have a deep affinity for Coogler's confidence in his vision, and his trust in the audience. Sinners is Black as fuck, genre agnostic, and at points, surreal. No caveats or kowtowing. You're on board or you're not. Spoiler free. Free to all. 🎥👻 www.patreon.com/posts/first-...

Watching The Shout yesterday got me thinking: what are some of the horniest horror movies? (Note that "horny" does not necessarily equate to "sexy.") The Devils is obviously number one. Dead Ringers is also pretty horny. Sinners.

Fun Tariff Facts: during the depression the US lost access to many imported paper products. They were replaced with an unusually tough paper stock made of hemp from the Philippines (then a US colony, and tariff exempt). Anyway, that’s why they were, and still are, called Manila folders / envelopes.

The best part of SINNERS week has been that aside from the film being terrific, it has people excited about big screen cinema. It doesn’t matter what the streamers do: as long as movies like this keep getting made for the big screen, folks will always go to the theaters

I got to my theater yesterday about 15 minutes after the previous show which started at noon let out and there were still people outside discussing the film. When I left my show, an even bigger crowd was still gathered outside. I usually only experience this when I see older films in LA.
