Thoughts on Sinners (2025):
I would like to thank god and Wunmi Mosaku's titties
Me when I saw Bo Chow:
This is probably Ryan Coogler's horniest film to date, and I love that
Holy shit, the sound mixing 🙌🏻
After hating on the White Americans, the French and the Spaniards in the Black Panther films, Ryan Coogler really turned to the Irish and said, "don't worry, I didn't forget about yall too!!"
3 words - Choctaw. Vampire. Hunters. Ryan Coogler, I demand a prequel
No but the Choctaw Vampire Hunters were hilarious. They can't be bothered to put in the labour to help the kkk couple. They really went, "you invited it, you deal with it. Godspeed." And peaced the fuck out ✌🏻 good for them
And the scene of the kkk couple inviting the Remmick the Irish vampire into their home while holding guns to the Choctaw pple even tho the Choctaw pple were trying to warn them? Perfect symbolism for how White pple would rather shoot themselves in the foot than listen to people of colour
Jayme Lawson's married ass getting her pussy eaten out by the male ingenue character, I support women's rights and women's wrongs 🫡
Me when the White music kinda slapped:
When Cornbread started going on about love and unity when he returned from peeing in the trees, I nearly yelled, "oh my god he's in the sunken place!!"
When the Irish vampire started river dancing during a tense moment:
The contrast between Sammie's music bringing pple/spirits of different times and cultures together while Remmick's is front and center in his ghoulish dance scene
Also the vampires only singing Remmick's songs but not songs from their respective communities even tho he preached about love and unity. Remmick speaking Cantonese only to threaten the Chinese shop owner.
The vampire hivemind being a metaphor for how White supremacy erases the uniqueness of different cultures to create the singular culture of whiteness
Remmick the victim of forced anglicisation of Ireland, Remmick the settler on Indigenous American land, Remmick who violently attempts to exploit a Black man's music to hear his (white) Irish kin again. Ryan Coogler, your mind
Sammie's music 🫱🏻🫲🏼 Annie's hoodoo religion being a bridge to the ancestors and the homeland. But while Sammie's music invites danger becos it can be exploited, Annie's spiritual beliefs helps them in contrast to how hoodoo has been demonised and dismissed
When the credits started rolling:
tbh the whole "trans women are new to oppression" thing kind of gives the game away. the people who say this think of us as nubile sex nymphs of the kind they search for on porn sites, eternally newly transitioned.
even if they had a point about new transitioners — they don't — they betray that they don't think of us as a demographic with older women in. because they don't think of us as real at all; we're their porn creatures, and we should stop interrupting the real women and the real trans people.
I need the power of the internet to work in my favor here. I am trying to figure out if this memory I have is a fever dream or if it was real...
I remember when I was little, so maybe ~13ish years ago, there was a short animated series that I think may have been on Disney (although the more I think the more I start to believe it may have been on PBS or something, I just know it had to have been a slightly educational channel bc after there was a short about how to take care of plants and fun ways you can plant seeds without access to a large garden). Similar to Choo Choo Soul or those singing potatoes, except this was an animation of the story Three Billy Goats Gruff. The animation style was, to my child eyes, absolutely beautiful. It started out as a book, but the setting and characters would flip up and become moving 2D parts. And there was also a narrator that was not visible during the storytelling, of course. I believe there were other stories told in this format, but I specifically remember Three Billy Goats Gruff. Please tell me if I have made this up in my dreams or if someone else remembers this is crucial to my adult life
Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor
my son who i hate
lestat in the first episode be like "oh no i dropped my anti racist literature books! i'm 6'2 btw"
10/10 dad joke
