i think i love you

if you have one, tag with the "6 degrees of separation" you have with a celebrity

it's crazy how SINNERS came out this year and immediately entered vampire classics canon forever. studios need to give ryan coogler 200 million dollars to do whatever the fuck he wants every few years in perpetuity.

first of all, don't talk to me like that, you don't know me. also those directors are not, as i said, ryan coogler, and it's frankly strange you brought them up while i'm praising a black director and saying he deserves to be not only paid for his work but also given the same opportunities his non-black peers have been. sinners is significant because the deal he negotiated with the studio means ownership of the movie will revert back to him after 25 years, a landmark deal that means he will receive royalties for the rest of his life that would usually go to the studio, which is unheard of and especially important in the context of black art being stolen and repressed by white supremacy. you might think you're being funny by making your little comment but what you're doing is 1) implying that we should stop directors like him from having the freedom to make whatever they want to make, to tell the stories they want to tell that aren't just franchises and are vibrant, resonant pieces of storytelling, AND 2) essentially parroting a right-wing talking point about how we should spend less on the arts. so yes, i will reiterate: studios need to give ryan coogler 200 million dollars to do whatever the fuck he wants every few years in perpetuity.

and that is academy award winner ryan coogler to you. bitch.
