I may have bought into the hype about him too, for so long he was the only Black American filmmaker making waves. I finally realized I am not crazy about his entire body of work, and appreciate his outspokenness more than anything else.

Control, for sure, since she would only fuck in her “loving bed.” Loving bed. Lovvvving bed. Lovinggg bed. Loving bed. JUST SAY BED!
