Can you even imagine?! Clint Eastwood is 89 whole years old! He’s old enough to be her grandfather. That’s some Anna Nicole Smith-J. Howard Marshall shit, right there. That depiction of that relationship would have been wiiiild. lol

I honestly love these stories. It is crazy the kind of wrangling that goes on between a movie being written and then it actually being produced. Sometimes, it’s not just the casting that undergoes a reworking, but the entire tone and genre of the movie are redone.

More. We need more positive representation like this. There will never be enough but until there is, I want more. I had....rather, my wife had twin daughters 21 years ago and I was proud of and praised for straight parts and symmetrical bushballs or afropuffs (whichever you prefer) when their mom (my wife) wasn’t

Gee at the end of Black History Month, just in time for white people to stop giving a fuck about our history and accomplishments. Really Forrest? I mean it’s bad enough Denzel, Taraji P & Mahershala Ali all did shit films like this you had to go in too? I don’t give a fuck about any more of these white redemption

“The weapons that we use to fight fear, they’re not brutality, they’re not wrath, they’re not hate!” Rev. Kennedy exclaims from the pulpit. “They are, and will always be, love.”
