Its probably going to win best picture. The rest of the people with Van thinks its the best of the year (maybe even decade)

I got concepts of a plan.
I hadn’t seen the movie so I don’t a take. People seem to love the director. I may have seen one of his movies.
I think Van is pretty level headed so I wonder if his take is true. When I saw she was in the movie I wondered why. Why not get a real actress? No disrespect to her, she has heat and is doing her thing but why did they cast you over somebody who has been in the game for 10 years+.
I may see it this weekend.
Coli movie Brehs is Booogie Nighhts worth a watch? CACs make it seem like it’s one of the greatest 90’s movies.

Yea Boogie Nights is legit great imo. Its like a Scorsese film in a lot of ways.I hadn’t seen the movie so I don’t a take. People seem to love the director. I may have seen one of his movies.

Teyana has actually started to prove she legit as an actress. She did a movie called A Thousand and One that she was great in. She's getting nom praise for this but there are those who think the character itself is problematic.

Pretty much what Double Toasted said. And I trust Martin.

Abomination is harsh but her character was questionable.
The discourse around this has been entertaining. White people are in love with it. Some of the harshest critiques of the portrayal of Teyana's character I've seen have been from nominally leftish or liberal black men
And some of the strongest defenses have been from nominally leftish or liberal black women
Yhara Zayd hasn't posted a video review yet but her letterbox announced that she loved it so I'm expecting her to drop a video essay at some point, and likely will tackle the arguments made by the FD Signifiers.

Boogie Nights is great. Its basically John Holmes story mixed in with fiction. If youve ever seen the Wonderland Murders you might recognize a few plot lines. But overall, amazing film.I hadn’t seen the movie so I don’t a take. People seem to love the director. I may have seen one of his movies.

She’s not a good actor at all to me. I mentioned it before but this push to make her a known name acting wise seemed to come out of nowhere
Gotta salute her team & networking skills tho

Black men and black some don’t agree with a movie portrayal of a black woman. But “liberal” black men are the only ones who comment on it. Does tha mean “regular” black men don’t care or they don’t care enough to use their platform to comment?
