Just saw that joint. Haven't seen a horror flick in like 15 years, so I went in with only the words said by everyone else.

I fucks with it.

I would shot that bitch in the throat once I saw my peoples come out that cop car. Maybe shot the pussy too, on some Shottas shit just for bringing me to that fuckshit.

I would have told Rod to run her ass over a few times before leaving

I thought he was gonna tell him to do that s***.

Samuel L Jackson criticises black British actors who take African-American roles, John Boyega responds

The Kong actor spoke candidly about horror film Get Out

Samuel L Jackson - who is currently promoting the film Kong: Skull Island - has criticised the casting of black British actors in films concerning Americans race relations.

Speaking to New York radio station Hot 97, the actor spoke candidly about the film Get Out, which stars British actor Daniel Kaluuya - best known for his role in Black Mirror episode ‘Fifteen Million Merits’ - as an African-American man who interacts with white liberal Americans. 

“I think it’s great [Get Out]’s doing everything it’s doing and people are loving it,” Jackson told the station. “But… I know the young brother who’s in the movie, and he’s British. 

"So, there are a lot of black British actors in these movies. I tend to wonder what would that movie would have been with an American brother who really feels that.

 

“Daniel grew up in a country where they’ve been interracial dating for a hundred years… What would a brother from America have made of that role? I’m sure the director helped, but some things are universal, but [not everything].”

He reasoned: “[British actors] are cheaper than us, for one thing. They don’t cost as much. And they [casting agents and directors] think they’re better trained, because they’re classically trained.”

Jackson’s comments angered Star Wars: The Force Awakens actor John Boyega, who responded on Twitter saying: “Black brits vs African American. A stupid ass conflict we don't have time for.”

Numerous black British actors have been cast in Hollywood films concerning race relations, including David Oyelowo as Martin Luther King in Selma and Chiwetel Ejiofor in the Oscar-winning 12 Years A Slave.

Georgina actually spilled the drink because the real her was trying to "Get Out " and again when she was crying when the brotha was trying to talk to her during the phone incident. She started crying because she was fighting back for a brief moment. She was looking in the window because the grandmother was vain and was enjoying her new found youth.

No i dont think so. Watching it again on kodi now.

Shes pouring the tea when the mom starts talking about how her husband's parents died so they throw a yearly party to keep the spirit of them around. When she brings up them passing away the grandmother spaces off, spilling the drink.

HD copy on kodi now with the asian subtitles

watched the shit like this last night and i have to say that this movie is just aiight. it aint like what yall was saying it was. to me its just a mix between frankenstein and who's coming to dinner.
 
Just finished it. Looking to hear some takeaways. ill skim through this thread. Basically it was deconstructing the racialized nature in how white people view black people. The sunken place seems to signify the place where some black people find themselves as they become placated by their environment/ circumstances to a point of docility dulled to their senses/ common sense. It illustrates a long running theme of American life for black people THEY (them...a number of them)don't value your humanity they only care about what you do for their entertainment and what you can do for them. Your are just a vessel.

Haven't heard much in the way of peoples thoughts beforehand.. ive seen memes of the sunken place and got a very broad picture of what it was going int the movie..I guess you can say its a thought provoking horror a psychological social horror.. I did here people say they cried .. wtf must be the unmelanated. Ill revisit this film down the road now looking forward to see other take aways.

I loved the originality and also how the main character wasn't a dumb ass. Him and Rel were realistic.

Dude was smart and he was piecing everything together despite the family treating him like he didn't know what was going on.

Going through some comments ha to stop here right quick.

It mirrors the "coded language" you hear from white people speak as if we are stupid. At each and every turn we ick it apart and get what they really mean
