You must be white with an especially heinous hatred for black men
Lmao what


I’m definitely black a proud black man at that


What about LCC is anti black or anti black men

No trolling or anything trying to truly see your insight and perspective on how and why you got to that conclusion :jbhmm:

That acting school in London must be amazing

And it’s not just black people

The guy that plays dr strange

The guy that plays spider man the young kid

Lots of them

Can’t lie they have amazing talent

When I found out Daniel was British





His mannerisms here I SEEN on the block In Brooklyn growing up


It’s that “oh you don’t like my face” look before they try and rob you

:ohhh:


Those are to cool kids btw

Are you really surprised? Are there even enough qualified FBA actors to make a film like this? Delroy Lindo is Jamaican, he just happens to be the shyt.

Lindo was born in London btw

@ajnapoleon

Spidey No way Home - Holland Spidey, Dr. Strange, Wong, Garfield Spidey, Lizard, Venom (Hardy post credit), Daredevll (Cox)

What a great movie. I loved how rich and multi-layered the characters' backstories felt like, without any extra flashbacks or over-explaining (which is what a lot of 'modern' movies seem to do)
This is my biggest gripe with the film. It was very hand holdy, when it didn't need to be

It’s wild coogler was able to make a movie in 2025 basically saying as a black man/woman in America we will only know peace when we are together :wow: otherwise by day or night someone will be trying to disturb that peace :wow:

I peeped that when I first saw it. Everybody was so focused on the tragic love story of Mary and Stack that they missed that Annie led Smoke to heaven. The more I sit on it, I wouldn't want to be a vampire. Pretending that it's real, Stack has spent more time mourning his brother than he spent with him. Mary is not enough to spend eternity watching everyone and everything you love fade away.

Another great article on the meaning behind why the vampire is Irish.

Why Is Remmick, the Master Vampire in 'Sinners,' Irish?



In “Sinners,” Remmick, while trying to convince Smoke and Stack to join his regime, suggests that he understands the Black American’s plight in the U.S. whilst also asking them to hand over Sammie (Miles Canton) so that he can possess his musical talents for his own benefit (this is, of course, a nod toward assimilation and cultural appropriation). Just as his ancestors were forced out of their cultural origins and liberties by the British, Remmick makes a promise to bring the Black partygoers to freedom if they will assimilate. He tells them he wants to share his message of “fellowship and love.”

People on TikTok was saying Ryan Coogler took inspiration from Abhartach (Irish vampire). People have theorized that Dracula was really based on this Irish legend which would make sense for an Irish author to write about.
