The Sopranos is a mediocre show elevated by amazing actors who turned completely shyt scripts into gold.

Majority of people who say "such and such can't act" don't know what good acting looks like.

Don't tell me "such and such can't act" and then be lined up for the latest Fast and Furious idiocy or Marvel mediocrity.

Black cinema is in the worst shape its ever been, and that includes the low budget era of the 00s.

Cinematography is carrying the everloving fukk out of current American cinema. Both mainstream and arthouse.

Horror movies don't scare me nowhere nearly as much as horrible situations in regular films.

Jordan Peele might really be a fluke. He's got one more chance with me before I wash my hands of him.

Not sure why the so called "feminist" era had dudes shook when most of those films came and went because not even women gave a fukk about most of them.

Quentin Tarantino gets a lot of flak from
the coli, but he's the only cac director who puts black actors in prominent or lead roles

Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Django unchained
Hateful Eight

In 2 of the 4 he put them in the lead role only so that white co stars could call them ****** repeatedly

Dave Chappelle gets treated like some comedic genius and some social commentary savant but his show didn't really do anything but play on racial stereotypes and if you take out the gay, trans, and poor white people jokes in his stand ups you end up with one joke about OJ and 2 and a half hours of silence. He did a 20 minute set about how he wasn't being paid for networks showing episodes of Chappelle show and somehow people treated this as some egregious thing instead of something that happens to virtually every person that every signed a contract and worked on any television show.

Martin Scorsese made the same movie 4 times ( goodfellas, casino, the irish man, the departed ). He just made it from a different characters point of view each time.

So many directors rely on cinematography to carry them nowadays. Dune will be a perfect example of this. Movie will be visually beautiful. Dialog, story, and acting will be bland. Sidenote, but Dennis Villanueva is a great example of a directory who gets carried by cinematography, Sicario withstanding.

Zach Snyder is an all time WOAT director. Him having any type of success in hollywood just goes to show you how good it is to be white in entertainment.

Only Seasons 1 and 3 of The Wire are actually THAT great.

Did they win in a fictional make believe movie ? Yep. Did the white co stars get to go home and laugh with their friends and family cause they got to call Jaime Foxx ****** on set everyday for 21 consecutive days ? Yep.
