I wouldn’t even disagree that CC is American propaganda, fueling a sense of nationalism in black Americans. I just don’t think it’s deeper than wanting to profit from that sense of pride. I don’t think this is a marvel/A24 situation where the military industrial complex contacted that lady and said make the album.
#teya talks#that’s just too conspiratorial for me#but also I think she also just wanted to explore her roots in that way#but Beyoncé has exploited black revolutionary politics before#the black panther outfits at the Super Bowl with Bruno Mars comes to mind#her husband was cosplaying as basquiat#she made the gift/black is king and then did a Tiffany ad with blood diamonds#like the lady likes a coin and that’s as deep as it gets

RDJ movies I've seen/ Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus
So basically it's a fake bio. That's what I have to digest in the beginning. None of this happened but maybe it did but she died in 1971....
Do I Google her, read her bio or Do I think about what my fake biographical movie would be like.... (Sooooo much better)
I'm a theater major. I expect to see art house movies like this. I'd rather watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), My Own Private a Idaho (1991) or Basquiat (1996) again.
It was sooooo unbelievably boring. I knew what I was getting into when I started but still!!! It just went on and on.
I spent the whole time trying to think of better titles for it(ex. My Affair with the Werewolf Upstairs, Sophie the youngest daughter: Lionel: Our Friendly Neighborhood Werewolf, Gracie eldest daughter: I hate everyone especially the werewolf upstairs., Husband: Our Awkward Threesome. Diane: Guess Who's Coming to Dinner)
Also I though about how it could have been better (film noir in black and white, straight horror (Hammer maybe, or just lots of shadows), in bright colors like in Umbrellas of Cherbourg (maybe I should watch that instead ). But both Nicole and RDJ can sing so THAT could work....
Maybe if there was a soundtrack at all that might of helped. All I got was vague classical and jazz. My brain meanwhile just thought of all the Werewolf songs. (Spooky, Werewolf of London)
Was it trying to shock me? With nudists (Boring), Freaks. Stop and go watch my favorite film Freaks (1932). I love a good pre code over certain post code any day.
RDJ's disguises for when he went out were very distracting, going from Wolfman cosplaying the Invisible Man, Carton Villain moves in next door, Invisible Man meets Luche Libre to the Phathom of the Opera.
I know I missed something but I'm currently not interested in a rewatch to figure out what. I have my Amazon rental for a few more days so I probably will at some point.
Also in the beginning I accidentally left the closed captioning on and this
[...] appeared on the screen at unnecessary and unexpectedly funny moments. As Diane is looking to go in the basement, looking to go upstairs the first time, Lionel at the very end hugging her (before the beach bit)
Look if you're a big a RDJ fan I'm not stopping you, go ahead. If you're a causal fan think twice. Maybe if you're really bored and doing laundry.
It's NOT a good use of his eyes which is a shame when he's not longer hairy he just looks confused and lost.
