Re: No talk of Sorry To Bother You?
I don’t want to. I haven’t seen it yet. Just figured a hip hop website would be talking about a feature film written and directed by Boots Riley. I’m gonna see it this week.ric wrote:It's a movie? So put up an article or your thoughts.

Re: No talk of Sorry To Bother You?
i think the fact its in select theaters and hasn't come out officially in most places had made it challenging to have a discussion. i'd like to see it tho.
Re: No talk of Sorry To Bother You?
Not sure what the buzz is about it; it's a typical tale of "Black guy is oppressed by white guys." Rather than explore that topic or offer any compelling argument to bolster it, Riley relies heavily on editing, set design, location etc to distract from the reality that the movie lacks any sincere heart. Lakeith Stanfield's performance in the lead is superb given the source material he had to work with. But even as endearing as he is, he doesn't rescue the film from its inevitable self-placed booby traps.
Armie Hammer, Lakeith Stanfield, and Tessa Thompson's gorgeous ass and face are the only reasons to see it on a big screen.

Only SJW cucks will claim to enjoy this movie when deep down they know the topic has been exhausted to the point that it's nearly lost all meaning. It's unfortunate Lakeith Stanfield's movie debut had to be this abomination, he should fire his agent.

Re: No talk of Sorry To Bother You?
It's probably the best movie that's gonna come out on theaters this year.
Boots is a genius movie maker. His future is brighter than ever. He might fuck around and become his own character Darius and get offered a dumb bag of money from some massive corporation.
I wish they had more space for Terry Crews in the movie and two more scenes with Danny Glover, but yeah I get it. Tessa Thompson is invincible. Armie Hammer just immortalized himself. The movie floats like a dream. There will be three subpar knock offs of Sorry To Bother You by next summer, all trying to do for their own causes what Boots does for unions and... the other things he fights for in this MaStErPiEcE fEvEr DrEaM on celluloid.
Rotten Tomatoes got it right this time, lulz

Re: No talk of Sorry To Bother You?
I loved it. It's a pretty broad satire of capitalism, and it has some flaws and more random ideas than it really knows how to handle, but it's consistently hilarious and at times pointedly uncomfortable. Boots is definitely a film school kid, there are tons of influences on display ranging from Mike Judge to Bunuel; and in fitting with what he seems to be emulating the movie is driven more by stylization and non sequiturs and vignettes than by focused narrative. Trimming things a bit and making the writing more specific could've maybe made for a better film but a lot of the appeal of this thing is in seeing all the shit Boots is mad at/making fun of so I'm cool with it being a little sloppy in service of that.
Will almost certainly end up as one of the years favorites.

Re: No talk of Sorry To Bother You?
I liked it and found it unlike any other movie i had ever seen. sure, topically, things have been covered but , style wise, it was all over the place in a cool way. I felt strong UHF vibes at points and I wonder if that's even a possible real influence. It definitely kinda flies of the rails at times and could have been more focused but i already can tell it will be one of those movies I watch anytime it's on.

Re: No talk of Sorry To Bother You?
I get the sense that Boots is just big movie nerd, or at least he's very well versed in social satire on film, so pretty much anything from that realm is on the table as a possible influence.Blockhead wrote: I felt strong UHF vibes at points and I wonder if that's even a possible real influence.

Sorry to Bother You: is Boots Riley’s new film this year’s Get Out?
A rip-roaring tale of code-switching and capitalism, it’s the most significant state-of-the-nation satire since Jordan Peele’s masterpiece

Didn't like it as much as I expected to, thought it was pretty average honestly. Not nearly as funny as it was trying to be.

Re: No talk of Sorry To Bother You?
Like most Coup albums: Seems like it will be a good time based on reputation and what you think you remember, but it never really works and you just kinda feel like you wasted some time. Very average and mostly annoying album.

this is ludicrous, the connection is specious as hell and STBY was already written and published as a screenplay several years ago during Obama's tenureComedy Quaddafi wrote:https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/j ... oots-riley

There is no way 'Sorry To Bother You' is not a Top Ten Movie on every list that should matter in 2018.

Re: No talk of Sorry To Bother You?
Saw it. It was alright. I'll probably watch again when rips leak for the tessa scenes.
Oh and apparently they're going to make a new soundtrack for the movie next year.
