it was incredible. I actually got a bit choked up at the music history montage because man...it was just beautiful...black peoples' connection and history and love for music...the beauty in that room.....knowing that these white people were about to take it away...vampires or not.

and it got me again at the end...this was an amazing movie. A+

My grandmother was a share cropper in Mississippi, born in 1922. She lived in a town like that...seeing them pick cotton got me emotional because that is how she started....vampire stuff aside, this was an outstanding movie...and that was fire too.

Well said Ed. I was thinking of my grandparents having to live thru that era too and feeling anger n sadness during those scenes too.

Re-read my shyt, because I never wrote that, breh.

Although now that you mention it, Delta Slim did say "Blues wasn't forced on us like Christianity. We brought this with us from home."

I don't believe that shyt for a second. Blues is a unique genre of music that came from a horrible situation that was put upon us. Hundreds of years of separation, as I said earlier. If that musical connection truly existed, why is it that we're the only ones coming up with shyt to this day? :jbhmm:

My stance is that our connection to music is unique due to our situation, not a former homeland. The scene detracted from the movie by bringing up a people and a place that has nothing to do with us, and felt shoehorned in just because. :yeshrug:
I don't feel it was that intention but respect the way you interpreted it.

One thing I thought was funny that I don’t see talked about is how them natives was on river dancing Dracula’s ass. They offered a bit of help, the white folks didn’t want it so they was like :hubie:good luck then and that was the end of that lol
I could've used a bit more of them...i was wondering if they would show up again like when the klan showed up at the end. The chocktaw Indian tribe was native to Mississippi as well, that was accurate..my grandmother spoke of them and there was some in my history too

these are the 2024 version, first retro since their original run. I was wearing the same pair in blue, in the theater :banderas:

Sidenote, who yall think was right or who’s side was yall on regarding the “business” that night though?

Smoke or Stack?

Remember one bro wanted to charge everyone full price on all drinks and food.

The other was like “na it’s opening night, let the people pay what they can pay“

But do you think is The long run they really couldve been successful?

Remember like Smoke said, at that rate, they’d be under in like 6 months…. It wasn’t sustainable….. plus it sets a bad precedent
