i wish that we could go back in time to show the wonderful black actors & actresses that struggled for roles and respect in early hollywood the beautifully, and unapologetically, black stories that we’re able to share with the world thanks to all that they endured to get us here. to show all of those sharecroppers, those gifted musicians, those innocent black americans how far we’ve come (though we still have PLENTY ways to go) thanks to them and how as a result, we’re able to tell their stories to millions around the world; both the good and the bad, their joy, their talent, their sense of community, and the atrocities that they faced. their stories deserve to be told and ryan coogler did just that. sinners is the gift that keeps on giving and it deserved every single second of its success, anyone who disagrees should probably fall off the face of the earth. before i’d seen the movie, i saw so many people online sharing photos and stories of their grandparents, great grandparents and so on who were from the mississippi delta and it was so incredibly touching to see how this movie brought together so many strangers to share their extensive family history and i knew right then and there that i would love this movie with all my heart. (i might’ve voted for it in the nyt “best 100 films of the 21st century” thing several days before actually seeing it…) easily the best movie i’ve ever seen, easily the best movie of the year— quite possibly the best movie of this decade— and i’m hitting myself for missing out on experiencing this in theaters. there’s so much more i could probably say about it however i pulled an all-nighter and my brain is still processing it… PLEASE give us a juneteenth rerelease 💔 (p.s. when i say “juneteenth rerelease” i mean release it for that whole week bc my birthday is legit the day before ok bye)

“(something something) sheep nipple aficionado” is a sentence that has never once been uttered before
