My mama up here talking about "I never seen so many Asian people in 1 room like this. What they do, get them on a boat and bring them to the Oscars?" Old people have no filter.

He's Mark on Invincible too which has the same creator as The Walking Dead (Robert Kirkman).
And I don’t think it’s about setting it aside. I think you can have your dreams and not be a miserable wreck while getting it or achieving it. Like I said, well balanced. Jazz is all about improvisation and going with the flow. Living his life and enjoying it will actually make him a better musician anyway when/if he got to that point.Taking your Father out of the equation I disagree that the movie didn’t show him living life
Black men do not need to be told that our aspirations need to be set aside so we can enjoy a slice of fukking pizza. Hell even Joe understood this. Its not like he was some recluse living in his mother’s house sitting at the Piano all day. He had a job. He had friends. HIS teachings inspired others to follow their own dreams. So him working on the side to realize his own aspirations is the problem? That is complete and utter bullshyt.
The truth of the matter is that black men having goals is a GOOD thing. Defining your own purpose or “calling”, working towards that dream (whilst still living responsibly) and never giving up is something all black men would be blessed to have. The pursuit of goals ADDS value to black life. It shouldn’t take away from it. It wasn’t like Joe’s father was on some Joe Jackson shyt and FORCED Jazz upon him. He genuinely loved playing jazz. He loved the music. He loved having the opportunity to realize a dream he had WORKED towards and the movie robbed him of that.
Also don’t get me started on 22
She STOLE his body. Refused to give it back because all of a sudden after experiencing humanity she liked “living”. And at the end Joe was literally willing to be Bojangles to her Shirley Temple and escort her back to earth while he tap danced his way to the “Beyond”Magical negro shyt if ever i’ve seen it.
I’m not an all or nothing dude. I got no problem with the flick looking at a portrait of an older man and having him take stock of everything and realized it all passed him by which does make those moments when you achieve something harder to enjoy. At least in my experience. And while the message may not work for you, that’s cool. Everything ain’t for everybody. But that doesn’t mean someone else out there won’t relate or doesn’t need to hear the message.

I’m sure she’ll be fine
THAT fukkING SAID, it’s crazy how long she’s done this and there was never a “will Glenn get hers” campaign like there was for leo when that man has nowhere near the stripes she has and people acted like that man was on his deathbed
