Relatively unknown black actor getting breakthrough role because movie got financed after one of the most bankable stars in history of medium took role is a funny definition of racism.

Tell you what. You go find Chadwick Boseman’s grave and say that he accepted racism because he took a role where Harrison Ford was the headliner.

I hope he’s Stilt-Man. I hope someone is Stilt-Man.

There’s also this:

How awful was The Many Saints of Newark? Easily one of the most disappointing movies I’ve seen in years. 

Maybe not so much anymore (that’s still debatable) but definitely back in 1989, which is when the movie the reviewer shits on took place.

Fact is. Chadwick Boseman took playing Jackie Robinson into becoming Black Panther. And that Robinson movie doesn’t get made if Harrison Ford doesn’t agree to play Branch Rickey

You…

I will listen to arguments that stories about black soldiers no longer (and never should have in the first place) need white central figures like Shaw. Ebert said that in his review of Glory.

But I’d counter with this: Because Ferris Bueller and Westley from Princess Bride agreed to be in a movie, Denzel got an Oscar…

Also, the famous Shaw neighborhood in Washington DC, often referred to as Black Broadway because of the historical Black live theaters located there is named in Robert Gould Shaw’s honor.

“We would not have his body removed from where it lies surrounded by his brave and devoted soldiers. ... We can imagine no holier place than that in which he lies, among his brave and devoted followers, nor wish for him better company. – what a body-guard he has!”

Robert Gould Shaw was the white colonel’s name and he actually existed, led the 54th, died with them and was buried with them.

I’m pretty sure that’s the movie, not the trailer. Gunn said the Holiday thing was light and this movie was pretty dark and emotional.

While I’m sure Pete didn’t help, his interview with TMZ was back in 2018 and that was when when Van Latham says he praised Hitler.  I know a lot of people didn’t believe him when he first said it, but I think there’s little doubt he’s telling the truth.  This means this goes back way before his divorce.

He’s fully jumped off the deepest of deep ends.  I don’t know how *anyone* can defend him now.

“Will you become a man to be feared?”

That’s just Sharpton, he had his saturation surgically turned down in the 2010s while he was already in for an issue with his vertical hold.

Oh my God shut up! Everyone knows the best AM breakfast show chemistry that ever was or will be.

It’s just funny that the most fiancially succesful film of all time is so unmemorable, you’re putting way too much thought into it

I’d actually love to hear QT’s take on Cameron and Avatar.

This is the worst time for cinema in history. There’s no movie stars anymore, it's just Avatar this and Avatar that.
