The beginning of creation started in Africa. My ancestors all came from these places because the evidence is in my blood. This is because of the African diaspora. I am very proud that I am from the human race

The Carthaginians I’m sure did some “light pillaging” during Hannibal’s invasion. Given the makeup of Carthage, I’m willing to bet everything all around the Mediterranean got mixed up with everything else all around the Mediterranean, including Ethiopia. So yeah, if you come from one of those current day locations,…

I loved Susan. After my mom (also named Susan) died, I wanted her to be my mom and take me away from my shitty dad.

I would do this just to have Rachel True hold my hands.

I have no idea, I’m ignoring that “event” because they’re not even done with the current “event” and I’m evented out.

Logan was a goddam awesome movie. All three leads deserve an Oscar nod for that.

That moment got a big applause in my theater.

And I don’t even care she’s not Mary Jane Watson. I love her whole “I’m way too cool for this place” vibe. She’s MJ. I’m happy for that.

I think we all agree “Aloha” doesn’t exist.

Shows how out of touch I am. I mean nothing wrong with Danielle Panabaker, but come on. It’s an objective fact Candice Patton is smoking hot. I’m over the tiny white chick is super cute trope.

OMG. My disaffected husky geek teen self would have followed her around with the biggest puppy dog eyes.

Ryan Fucking Coogler, that trailer, that cast, it’s already in my top five.

I don’t think it’s the only way to succeed, but I like what Marvel has done with giving us new versions of existing characters but race bending them. The barrier to entry is lower when you can say “It’s Iron Man, but there’s a teenage genius African-American girl running the suit”. That’s what they did for years when…

Kevin Smith was spitballing with Marc Bernardin that post Avengers 4, Marvel is going to shake things up. They may not be able to afford Downey anymore, who better to suit up in Iron Man than his mentee Peter Parker. The suit we saw at the end looked very Miles-ish, Miles steps into Spider-Man and we’re off to the…

That was a genius plot twist. You’re totally not expecting it because that’s not how things work in the movies.

It’s seriously good. It’s not Winter Soldier good, but it’s really good.

I also still love Anthony Mackie’s Falcon. He’s the only person in the modern world that “gets” Cap’s issues. I think he adds a firm anchor that Cap needs to stay relevant, without being someone who brings nothing to the super powers team.

Hannibal Burress was a goddam delight in that movie. “I think he’s a war criminal now, but whatever.” His delivery of the disaffected “I’m just here picking up a paycheck” gym teacher was comedy gold.

That shitfest of Josh Trank’s FF movie had nothing to do with the cast, other than I can’t stand Miles Teller.

I liked the Rich Douche picking on the poor kid. I know those feels personally.
