NO WAR
Moon 2025
unexpectedly sexy part of the Sinners credits. we LOVE a thoroughly sourced film.
looked into the twins consultants and it turns out Coogler called up the most buckwild twins he knows, which really helps explain why Smoke and Stack are Like That
I do 100% believe the Smokestack twins would have done this if they made it to the cellphones era btw
IDs under cut:
I love this because the odds of anyone picking up on historical errors are pretty damn low -- like for instance you'll have Chinese people seeing this movie, and if you fuck up anything really basic they'll notice that, but when you get as specific as 1930s Mississippi Delta Chinese culture? A lot fewer of them are going to be able to pick out errors there. And a lesser filmmaker would take advantage of that to skimp out on the research. But to Coogler I think the research was part of what drew him to this story -- the richness of the cultural interplay here requires and rewards careful research.

CREATE THE WORLD YOU WANT TO LIVE IN, NO MATTER HOW SMALL
READ VORACIOUSLY, WIDELY, DEEPLY, FOR FUN
WRITE DOWN YOUR THOUGHTS, PEN ON PAPER, WORDS AND IMAGES
STOP BUYING SHIT YOU DON'T NEED
MOVE YOUR BODY IN NEW AND EXCITING WAYS
DANCE AND SING LIKE IT MIGHT SAVE YOU, BECAUSE IT MIGHT
THERE ARE TIMES FOR SOLEMN CONTEMPLATION AND THERE ARE TIMES FOR MINDLESS ACTION, LEARN THE DIFFERENCE
DON'T BE AFRAID OF LOVING—EVERYTHING IS A PART OF THE WORLD

But when I say the “wholesome and funny” YouTube short I have been handed of students surprise showing their teachers 10+ year old photos of themselves and most them were emo/goth in some way and every single one now has medium brown beach waves and is wearing head to toe beige and immediately screams and hides the photo like it’s the most embarrassing thing in the world is a hallmark of a deeply insidious tendency to associate socially acceptable WASPy aesthetics with maturity and responsibility and perpetuates the idea that everyone grows up, “gets right” and becomes the most digestible unobtrusive heterosexual I’m “taking it too seriously”
“It’s not that serious” oh but it issssss because every day we perpetuate the idea that non-conformity of any kind to the white straight middle class standard is inherently immature and gets “left behind” when someone becomes a socially acceptable adult
This idea that maturity is conformity is everywhereeee if you look for even a moment
The later this gets posted, the funnier it gets
