Yeah I don’t even know if this person saw the movie. He wouldn’t be trying to conjure anything again if he didn’t even experience the vampires yet. And no one knocks on a door or anything.
Ryan Coogler & Michael B. Jordan vampire film "Sinners"

- Start date
I think a lot of people can understand it, but it's just something that never crossed their minds. I wasn't shocked because I'd seen Deadwood so many years ago. That was the first time I saw a show "back in the day" where Asians had carved outa real existence like that.
I'm down South. Theater I was in was maybe 55/45 black to white. White dudes was in there laughing hard as hell.

Saw it last night....loved the movie. My dogg Delroy put on a show....reminded me of some of the older family members and family friends from when I was younger. The story about his buddy getting lynched and going directly into a blues rhythm was 
My boo Wunmi was in this joint. Question tho:
My observations:
Like brehs said in the thread, a gangster movie based off Smoke and Stack would be awesome. A WW1 era movie would be a lick. Not sure how many movies from WW1 we've had, especially from the Black perspective
My boo Wunmi was in this joint. Question tho:
When Stack bit Annie and Smoke fulfilled his promise to stake her, why did Mary and Stack flip out? I missed the reason why they were looking to change her
My observations:
- Why didn't Annie make a mojo bag for Stack?
- MBJ did his thing....def could see the difference in both characters
- Youngin that played Sammie has a voice on him pause. When him and Stack were in the car, he hit them vocals and Stack hit the
face felt like a genuine moment. I had the same face when I'm buddy started singing lol
- Them vamps were killing that Riverdance shyt
Dem feets were moving
- My Choctaw brehs got low when the sun started going down
. It makes sense they didn't pop out at night to help bc they knew evil was in the air
- I didn't read too much into Sammie saying the prayer when the vamps had him into that water. Brehs in the thread mentioned him blessing the water and turning it holy, but that wasn't mentioned in the movie and I don't think that his path. But...God answers prayers
and faith w/o work is dead - same tool that got you in the jam, you gotta get yourself out of it. So, he was able to grab that guitar w some silver in it to get himself out of the jam

I think see where you're coming from. When I was a kid, I DESPISED Michael Jordan for dropping 65 points on my Washington Bullets. The hate was so strong, that I wasn't even happy when he joined the Wizards later in his career.
Even though I hated what MJ did to my team all those years earlier, I still had to recognize that MJ was a bad mf on that court.
So yeah, I get that you didn't like Black Panther for your own personal reasons, but that doesn't mean that Ryan Coogler isn't a talented filmmaker, or that Sinners is trash.
Besides, there was a theater full of big booty sisters with black elbows when I went to see Sinners. You better let that hate go and

The problem with that American Negro is that they have become accustomed to stop being packaged as gold. And the American Negro falls for it, time and time again.

I love you, you know.
shyt was lit?
I’ll have to wait for the streaming release. No way I’m getting my wife to see this with me.

Saw it and thought it was cool but nowhere near a masterpiece like some of the early reviews were saying.
I thought the tension wasn't strong enough in the 3rd act. There wasn't anything creepy, unnerving, or scary about the vampires. Even the characters who remained inside didn't seem terrified by the threat outside.
The Asian lady being so gung ho about fighting didn't help. It's like 5 of them vs 50 vampires but she's taking those odds just to protect her daughter
Why they let her husband talk to her instead of closing the door is beyond me. I hate when characters know someone close to them is no longer human but still want to act like they are. Same thing happened when Smoke got bit and died but Stack didn't want to throw his body outside. That's a trope no one ever wants to write around. Let the characters be smart and react like they're trying to survive.
Another trope is having a threat that's alien or supernatural and one character has the answers for what they are and how to stop them. Everyone was clueless but Annie knew they were vampires so get some garlic, silver, and make stakes. They're all things they just happened to have on them. It's just too convenient and a fast way to move the plot. It also didn't introduce anything new. I've been tired of vampire movies for that reason.
The one thing that was interesting was Remmick being drawn to Sammy's ability to conjure spirits. If they had focused more on that it wouldn't have felt like typical vampire cliches.
I didn't feel anything when the characters started getting killed. It was too predictable.
I have some smaller issues. The scene with Sammy singing and the past/future visions didn't resonate with me. I don't like when I'm immersed into a movie and something happens to take me out of that. Once I saw that Bootsy Collins knockoff I was thrown off. Everything that followed was jarring. I'm more into subtlety than having messaging thrown at me. When they happens it's like the director doesn't trust the audience to interpret the meaning. I get what he was going for but didn't like the execution. It was too ham fisted.
Another thing that ruins immersion for me is using modern sayings in the past. "Grand opening, grand closing" was cheesy. I'm nitpicking but there were a couple more.
MBJ's accent had a lot more twang than everyone else's. Not a big deal but his performance was decent. Still not impressed by his acting.
Liked it but didn't love it so it's a 7.5/10. Would've rated it higher if the 3rd act was stronger.

Called shytty writing.
Her character was the mammy role and her death was just to be a heart tugger in the film.
Had 0 shyt to deal with plot.
Coogler is just a shytty writer, director and artist

So the movie sucked pretty much and is a 1 timer.Saw it and thought it was cool but nowhere near a masterpiece like some of the early reviews were saying.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to see his mediocrity.
And Vampires have no spirit or soul, so music wouldn't attract them lol.
Coogler really is a fukk up

Because they were still part of the Fellowship and Love wave.. Losing
Annie via a stake in the heart means she was gone gone. And not joining them like they wanted.

I saw one theory on another forum that
there were no vampires. The klan got to them early and sent a second wave later. Sammie is just viewing it through the lens of the "Devil" as he's the only one who survived. Its why the color grading/vibe looks totally different compared to the rest of the movie. Only at the end credits does it look similar and that's just In his head/reflecting
Im both :
and
That shyt was real
but does highlight your point about inevitability.
