Hey @playahaitian heres that conversation with Bill Simmons and Van in context. I rhink this a good discussion but Coogs aint gonna make something just to make something. If we really want to get in the weeds and I know it's not a coincidence..Coogler = Kendrick..the way they take their time and the attention to detail. Oakland stand up!
Bill was just saying that we need more movies from Ryan Coogler, that's all, because Bill loved Sinners.I don't even need to watch. But I will eventually. Bill and Van a fun listen.
Listen I'm a fan of Bill we actually used to email each other. I was half joking. But these white folks be tripping and ain't to be trusted. So I am addressing this early and often. We need to protect Coogler.
How the hell you even fix your face to critize EXCELLENCE?
He don't JUST direct???!!!
He write directly camera and music.
Tell Bill to STFU.
If Coogler was white?
It would be every movie is an event!
He is in the lab!
Highly anticipated!
He is an artist a genius you can't rush that?
What will he do next!!
5 movies he already in QT Nolan Cameron Wes Anderson level.
I heard all these cacs talking but I ain't heard Academy Award talk.
Or all time great talk.
Say ALL THAT FIRST then say he need to do more.
Fuk em.
We got DOZENS OF WHITE DIRECTORS AND WRITERS WHO NEED TO DO LESS!

I'll do my best to not spoil it.
1-Go support it. Imax > regular. I saw both.
2-If you don't support it...watch it with those that don't know about the Jim Crow south. I saw a lot of young people's first time visual experience of that time for us.
I've always believed we are "limited" by our experiences but to think "current year attitudes" isn't possible in less than 80 years is ignorant as hell.
Omar Miller talks about meeting Ryan Coogler the first time and reading for Sinners
Link starts when Omar comes out:
I hear you, bruh.....Does Bill know something we don't?
Coogler ain't going no where.
X files coming. He talking co produce 2 new movies with MBJ soon including Thomas crown
Tell that white man King Coogler doing it like he supposed.
Bill need to start talking about all these wack white directors getting multiple opportunities despite repeat failures instead.
I have a tattoo of the New York Times on my left biceps. Why are you reading the NY Times and taking them at face value? If someone moves the goalposts, you shouldn't play with them anymore. They're not serious people; leave those economic-anxiety-ass people alone.I was about to post this. I read this earlier in the New York Times.
