I was speechless last night & I'm still a bit speechless. Need to see it a couple more times before I do a proper review, this is just a first viewing reaction but y'all, mess with me.
This movie is a masterpiece

A tale of two movies:
Similar deal structures. Similar budgets.
One made $45M from 3300 screens, post pandemic, and won the weekend.
The other made $41M from 3600 screens pre-pandemic, and placed second.
And yet this is the coverage.
Beyond the fact that I love this photo, I think about this concept ALL OF THE TIME. As an archivist, I am really conscious of the fact that it's likely we'll have a more robust understanding of the 18 and 19th centuries than of the 21st century. Why? PAPER.

That was great. A vampire movie that's a lot more than just an excuse for vampire horror. Steeped in Depression Era Black history and culture, and powered by the Mississippi Delta blues (the music was brilliant), it's really like nothing I've seen before on the screen.

Why are there never stories about why people vote the way they do in black communities in Alabama or Mississippi? Why is it always the uneducated white people in poverty who need to be βunderstoodβ? π€

I had been trying to avoid promoting anything from Warner Bros lately because I have extreme trust issues with that studio.
That said, this breakdown of film format from Ryan Coogler (the director of Sinners) for Kodak must be seen.

not going to say the timeline would have turned out way differently if elite universities had just told Elise Stefanik to fuck off a year ago, but it probably wouldn't have hurt
