out on Hulu

Found my film. Imma watch Three The Hard Way.

One of Them Days was a fun watch, SZAs character was a terrible friend though. Now that I think about it this reminds me a female version of Friday in a way.

Who are these stunning black queens? My goodness

Isn’t that BAPS?

Sorry to Bother You

Saw The Lady in the Yard today. It was decent,
It dealt with grief which is what I surmised in the first 10 minutes. Danielle Deadwynter did a phenomenal job with what she had.

2.5/5

BURNETT:

The L.A. rebellion was making films against the Hollywood interpretation of our lives. The thing, I think, we were very proud of was the fact that we were changing the narrative and the look of what Black filmmakers should be working toward. I was screening my film in Hawaii and this lady came up to me after the screening and said, “I didn’t know Black people had washing machines.” You can understand. Well, you don’t get mad, you understand why, because they’ve never seen us as human beings. The filmmakers that we grew up with were attempting to bring that to the screen. We are people like everybody else, with the same issues and words and concerns and life-threatening things, and that makes you understand us.

Ryan Coogler & Michael B Jordan
Jordan Peele & Daniel Kaluuya
Steve McQueen & John Boyega
John Singleton (RIP) & Damson Idris

Who do the women have that you could pair like this? Dominique Fishback, Jodie Turner-Smith, Lashana Lynch, Danielle Deadwyler.

Would love for Geffri Maya and Gail Bean to be given more opportunities as well.

Off the top..Regina King and Gina Prince-Bythewood.
