Finally saw Black Panther on Friday, lol. It was aight.
Saw Uncut Gems and #myguy KG on Saturday. I had a hard time seeing Sandler as a dramatic actor, but the movie was good, and I'm happy with my guy although I'm guessing nearly all of his lines were improvised. Can we also talk about Julia Fox for a second, good lord. Was is EMAPE who coined the term "blessed white girl?" Fox retired that tag, it's all hers forever and ever.
Black panther—- I almost typed up about 5,000 words on how killmonger was the hero. Interested to know your take.
Uncut gems!—could you get past it with Sandler? I thought he was brilliant! Mike Francesca as the bookie was inspired. Julia Fox Instagram is a thing.
Franscesca was really good, wish he had a bigger part.
WARNING Black Panther spoilers aheadLol, probally don't need that, isn't the movie like 2.5 years old?
So, killmonger. Yes, essentially he was the hero in his intent. I think that's why they went so over the top with him being such a rough ridin' dickhead, including how adult killmonger was introduced. No, they shouldn't have hoarded the vibranium, and yes, he ultimately helped them to realize that they were wrong for doing so, it's why the UN scene at the end was necessary. However, him method of leadership would have eventually led to the ruin of civilization and almost certainly would have allowed vibranium to get into the hands of "colonizers," which of course would have lessened it's effect for all the black folks that killmonger wanted to help. I don't know crap about comic books so I'm sure people know the essence of what the sequel will be, but I don't. I'm guessing and hoping it centers on killmonger being in the city of the dead.
