Film was a very good average flock, not original by any means, it was cool
Nice touching ending too.

Ryan Coogler & Michael B. Jordan vampire film "Sinners"

- Start date
O.T.I.S.
The Monk & The Mercenary
Watched it again over the weekend while holed up
Movie REALLY grew on me.. especially the second half when it turns into a horror movie.
So far, really don’t see another movie that did all it did to beat it out. From the cinematography, story, Jordan playing 2 roles on the screen at the same time, different music/performances, monster design, comedy, a few jump scare moments, the ending, etc.
It’s an extremely well done movie.
And Cornbread was hilarious

Edit: I think even detractors of the movie would admit this would be dope in an HBO style format. That sort of builds up the Mob and/or Mississippi life & the Vampire story separately until they collide.
I guess AMC's Better Call Saul did it the best with it being a Lawyer show with Saul, but a gangster show with Mike as well.

kinda crazy Johnathan majors was supposed to be in this, then Avengers: Kang dynasty.
All time fumble.
All time fumble.
There was never any confirmation whatsoever that Majors was supposed to be in the film and it doesn't really make sense no matter what happened in his personal life because who would he play?
Not Smoke or Stack, they were always written as twins and Coogler and his team actually developed new shooting methods to make MBJ's performance more realistic, if they'd had to do that because of Majors dropping out it would have delayed the film, which didn't happen.
He couldn't play Sammie as he was too old.
He couldn't play Delta Slim as he was too young.
Maybe he could have been Cornbread, but the role was too small for Majors during his height when he was leading everything.
I ain’t buying it. I think he was supposed to be stack and I ain’t being convinced otherwise
I mean...your wrong but you are entitled to your opinion brehI ain’t buying it. I think he was supposed to be stack and I ain’t being convinced otherwise

Its one of those we'll never know situations.
Majors rep was already ruined in spring 2023. Ryan didnt start writing Sinners till late fall. Sometime after he was already booted by Marvel.
I do wonder if no bad press if he would have come with a role for him regardless. I could have seen MBJ pushing for it after the success of Creed 3.
The twins met back with so many people on their return.
The one kinda person they didnt meet was an old foil. Who was/is the top gangster while they were away? And wouldnt he want to check in on the Club Juke.

Would’ve been much, much better as a show than a movie. Coogler had too many ideas, a limited series could’ve expounded on them more effectively.
