I love it but he didn’t stick the landing with the ending but I believe it’s a satire so I can give him some leeway with that and didn’t he shoot the whole movie with a handheld camera or something like that?

but I still think 25th hour is probably still his most underrated movie

Really good. Felt like a horror movie the first time I saw it, but I was really young then and not ready for a lot of what was going on. I think the ending works and what Damon was doing works because its purposely silly. A character doing a character doing a character. A lot of layers going on.



Think it would be way more warmly received now, even the way it was shot.

He sure wasn't. Some performances are just to....focused to be mere 'acting.' :mjpls:

@Nicole0416_646NYC. @Benjamin Sisko what you think about this masterpiece?
:blessed:
classify that in the same league as Robert Townsend’s
Hollywood Shuffle- prophetic future evens ahead of their time

Same with Nate Parker’s Birth of a Nation- even though they tried to Hollywood Shuffle them right off the scene. I wasn’t falling for the bamboozle babble.

Movie was dope… Damon Wayans character was fukking ridiculously stupid and overbearing.

1. I've seen the film "The Producers" already

2. Damon Wayans' performance seemed like a parody

Great movie.



nikka in the comment section said Rapaport wasn’t even acting in this scene :mjlol:


At first Damon was the only issue I had with this film. I thought the was clearly overdoing it.

UNTIL

I finally saw/listened to Reginald Hudlin speak and realized thats who the character was "inspired " by

I went to Catholic School- the only movie we were allowed to watch was “Our Lady of Lourdes” :laff:no time for racially inflammatory movie programs
:mjpls:
- 10 Hail Mary’s and 2 Our Fathers for disturbing the peace during sanctuary
:mjpls:
My parents stayed in the principal’s office for my vocal disagreements - too much warrior spirit in my dna even at age 6 , never forget this day -“I’m like why are we watching this white lady with a veil on, is this a witch movie??”
“Nicole - go see Father Dagostino in the office”
“No, I don’t want to
Watch a movie about white witches and their magic “
*call her parents
