The joke is that Key and Peele made a movie that borrows of the premise of the movie John Wick starring Keanu Reeves where Keanu goes on a killing spree after his puppy is murdered is in itself ridiculous, and then made a spoof that substitutes a kitten for the puppy and name it Keanu.

Yes. She is right about the use of “nigga” in a movie with such a pre-existing white fanbase, but this is not super complicated.

I thought it was funny. Uneven, certainly, and lacking the sharpness and biting social commentary that characterize Key and Peele’s best sketches, but still pretty damned funny. And I’m not sure what “feels nothing like a movie” means. It felt like a movie to me.

The comments about blackness AND the joke is about the heteronormativity of feelings about a kitten, which is typically a “girl” animal

The joke is supposed to be at the expense of action movies where the heroes are on a quest to save the damsel in distress. This movie is making fun of that by putting a cat in the damsel role and turning the hyper-masculine heroes into cat daddies.

Yes. it gets you hyped. Def the soundtrack to listen to before you handle some beef.

I’m getting married in July and I got scolded because:

My eyes just rolled so hard they fell out of my head and now I am blind.

Also box braids, not BOXER BRAIDS, are a real thing.

Dont lose hope. Dating is a numbers game. Cast a super wide net and go from there.

The trouble is that girls get so much crap in their inbox that even well intentioned messages wind up ignored or lost. From a male perspective its a total crapshoot, its best to make your words count. Maybe 2-3 sentences that riff on her profile to show her A) you actually read it and B) that you might share a common…

Ahhh, gotcha. I'm glad I got it MOSTLY right. Mind, I used to know a few girls in Toronto that dated hustlers but I never inquired about the lingo.

Things I learned from the comments section of this article:

I have often said, when the time comes for my pets and others’ to leave us, that the only consolation is that life gets so much easier. It doesn’t make us miss them less, or have loved them less. I understand the relief. They enrich our lives while they’re with us, and they free us when they leave us. It’s possible to…

I love Bernie. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
