Rewatch
drake is unbearably corny, avengers is trash, the end of game of thrones really wasnt that bad.
Jordan Peele is a one hit wonder
NOPE is a masterpiece yes
But the other 2 are good as well

i'm obviously talking about Get Out
Jim Carrey is not that funny and his serious roles clear everything else he's ever done. Eternal Sunshine >
• avocados are overrated. spoils entirely too quick, revolting texture and isn't good on its own.
• thanos isn't a compelling villain; paper thin motivation, vapid genocidal logic that hardly anyone bothers to challenge him on ideologically and the whole "he was right" narrative is sociopolitical poison. also infinity war > endgame even though neither of them are really any good
• hulk 2003 is incredibly underrated and underappreciated, even among fans of superhero movies
• jordan peele's two dimensional character work and tendency to be overt leaves a lot to be desired. however, his conceptual output puts him ahead of peers like eggers and aster who are guilty of the same things if not worse.
• karate kid remake was more enjoyable than the OG
• three billboards is one of the worst movies i've ever seen
• tems is not particularly good at singing. i'm not a purist when it comes to people needing to be amazing vocalists (max b, frank ocean, sza, rihanna, future, etc can all sing engaging melodies without being able to hit the highest notes). however tems has awkward delivery that results in more misses than hits and doesn't know how to use her voice to its utmost potential. her beauty is more remarkable than her music and her sister ayra starr seems more talented by comparison.
• central cee stays being rewarded for leaning into 'racially ambiguous' blackface when he's really just white mediocrity and there's much better artists coming out of the UK
• MIKE has remained stagnant as a writer, too much of mach's lyrics boil down to being very entertaining word vomit, earl and his camp are culture vultures
• astrology is very fun to consider and pull self reflection from. it may very well be a pseudoscience however most reactionary attitudes toward it come from a place of misogyny
• there's a lack of genuine care among both men and women with regard to male* sexual assault victims. respectively, they're only ever brought up as a talking point or downplayed via comparison.
• kotor 2 is the best piece of star wars media i've ever come across, movies & all.
• political discourse is ultimately a fruitless exercise until people are actually ready to begin organizing, striking and redirecting violence toward oppressors en masse. whites will forever be engaged in debate about class theory or the best label for their communist ideology instead of centering race and actualizing praxis outside of orgs that've already been compromised.
• everyone is racist.
• nonblacks saying aave is just "gen z slang" is just another disingenuous way of allowing themselves to keep up their blackface online.
Some great takes
