You mean like Michael K Williams? Got it lol
I get that. Still a dope movie I'd go see again, just don't care for it
And I completely get that. You are not alone
It was a risk a big swing
Not everyone gonna like it.
I'm just surprised the reasons people give as to why they don't like it.

ladies and gentlemen...
we officially have a new addition to the bgol lexicon
man please
lol yeah I can't take credit for that term...that term was invented by legendary anti racism educator Jane Elliot
I'm gonna be completely honest. In the first half, I was locked the fuck in. Like was legitimately enjoying it. When the vampire shit started though, I lost interest like hell. I still liked it overall but man I went in blind not knowing it was supposed to be a horror thing. For me, the vampire part of it just didn't fit well. It came in too fast and I was kinda like, how did we get here?
You didn't know it was vampire movie before you went into the theatre?
I imagined a scenario like this but for a video game developed by a Black studio..Geoff Keighley be announcing it at the Summer Games Show and is forced to say it's for XBox first,THEN Playstation 5
Yeah I HATE musicals and musical numbers...
But I LOVED that scene
It was a profound visual representation of the power of our music and creativity from the motherland to Brazil and the Americas throughout different genres and timespans and how through every iteration and generation there were vampires and vultures at the gates trying to get in and feed off of our culture If we let them.
It was a Tonal shift...a genre shift... and an Anachronistic stew that can be jarring when watching a period piece....I usually don't like modern elements in period pieces but this ain't even take me out of the film because I understood was being communicated in that moment..
But I totally get it if people didn't like it

It took about an hour for them to get to the vampire part.
First comment under this vid..."You horribly underestimated how black folks LOVE this movie."

Michael Flatley – The Man Who Danced the World Into Fire - Secret Ireland
“Art is a whisper of the soul. But when Michael Flatley danced, it wasn’t a whisper—it was a war cry.” There are names that fade with applause. Then there are names that ignite history. Michael Flatley wasn’t just a dancer. He was a hurricane dressed in silk, a tap-shod anarchist who took the...

You probably don't remember the commerials on NBC and channel 5. Those shows were sold out everyway and then vegas and then a world tour. Dude had an MC Hammer like crew. And he made SURE his money was right. Back folks went JUST to see wtf was going on.
Flatley was like their Joker or Luka or Eminem!
He STILL getting paid off that Tall!
I SEE what Coogler was trying to show us.
I hope so. Might not get to see it in imax before then.
Couldn't have put it better myself.
This is a wonderful post.
I try to think of being African spatially. There are continental Africans that know, folks in the Caribbean that don’t know, and there are folks in the middle of this nonsense that don’t know. Conversely, there are folks in this mess that know about continental Africa, folks in the Caribbean that know about Africa, and there are Africans that don’t know about the happenings of continental Africa while there.
Arriving in The Nonsense from the Caribbean, I didn’t know what the folks here been through. However, I knew from my personal experiences there was something tragic that happened to “Us”; I knew something in my DNA that made me feel the way I felt but I couldn’t label that feeling.
I’ve always considered myself anti power and reasoned if i lived 5000 years ago, I would be anti pharaoh. I’ve posted that King Tut had to be murdered not just because he couldn’t knock up his sister, but the man clearly was trying to rewrite history. I’m down with the people and I’m all for the truth. I don’t see the world chronologically. I see the world through human behaviors over time. When I saw us being connected through time, I saw the Dogon dancing for stars that Europeans didn’t even know exist. We have dances for stars, bruh. When I saw that scene, I cried and was able to relax. Yeah the non-black females ruined the night. But a black man also killed a legion of white men to be with his child and wife forever. In my world, Martin and Coretta are with Dexter over at Malcolm and Betty’s home with their grandson Malcolm at the dinner table.
I had no clue because I didn't watch any trailers or anything about it. All I knew is that Coogler had a new movie with MBJordan and I was going.
Damn right
I am waiting with baited breathe to see this Kendrick movie he developed with the South Park guys.
