if smoke and stack decided to let remmick in, i feel like his white ass would step through the door, there would be a record scratch, and then everybody in the juke joint would look at him like this:

a moment of silence for lisa, because either she'll never find out whatever happened to her parents that one fateful night or sammie tells her and she has to live with that fact for the rest of her life.

saw an interview where bo’s actor said that the twins were his best friends…. imagine that your best friends are gone for 7 years and now they’re back and want to have a party and one DIES and then you DIE and then your wife (rightfully) KILLS you again.

happened to my buddy bo chow

you ever think about the intricacies of smoke & stack's dynamic and go fucking crazy?

their abusive father zeroing in on stack as the outlet for his beatings, smoke killing their daddy, half way done burying him by the time stack came to - smoke being the BIG BROTHER from the start, keeping stack safe - stack becoming who he is - bit reckless, full of charisma and whimsy because of smoke, in a way, shielding him from the world ("doesn't know how to watch his own back").

thinking of smoke saying how stack is the best thing about him, how stack talks a big game but how it's smoke who kills the snake, smoke who shoots two men for stealing out of his truck, smoke who pulls a gun on sammie and pearline. does he ever think he got more of their daddy in him than stack? where stack can connect with people in a way smoke can't quite follow. stack laying out clothes for him, doing his hair, rolling his cigarettes- giving smoke back some of what the war took.

but I also can't help but think that there is this slight ....almost paternalistic element at times - the way stack looks around for smoke when he's with mary, worried he'll be caught, worried he'll displease him and yet that thing he says when he's turned "don't let that witch come between us again" - there's no doubt that stack loves annie and is clearly DISTRAUGHT when smoke kills her but ...was there ever resentment? did he ever feel betrayed? was it ever only meant to be the two of them against the world?

"he was the best thing about me" "i ain't doing it without you there ain't no me without you" "sorry for not keeping you safe - you always did" the way stack is just that one person smoke can't kill, the way the only time he wavers in his resolve is when his vampire brother talks with him.

(this is borderline incoherent but I have a lot of thoughts)

No because when they got to Annie I started bawling in that fucking theater and Delta Slim

Like this movie fucking hurt dude. I was honestly gonna cry when they got Cornbread because what is Sammie gonna tell his wife ? That she unknowingly sent her husband and the father of their unborn child to his death and when she just thought that she was actually making money and a better life for their child ? What’s he going to tell little Lisa ?

I like to think that after Sammie got famous that he did take care of Cornbread’s wife and child and took care of Lisa as well and did all that he could to make sure they were set for life even though he knew it wasn’t enough to bring back the lives lost that night.

Imagine watching 2+ hours of a Black ass film that venerates the history and innovation of Black Americans in Reconstruction (correction) under Jim Crow in Mississippi then thinking, “Yes, let me write and edit extensively (and damn near exclusively) for the white male antagonist.”

Couldn’t be me!

The portrayal of white people who have been violently separated from their own culture stealing the power of black culture and music to try to get reconnected was SO literal and somehow not at ALL heavy-handed or trite. Fkn remarkable.

"I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy" nah fuck that I would. Actually if I could choose to have any superpower, I'd want the power to make people feel whatever I've felt at any point of my life, at my choice. Someone mildly inconveniences me, I'm letting them have 30 minutes of being five years old and trying to learn how to cry silently because you know nobody's coming to help you and if someone hears you, they're coming to make it worse. Fuck you and your eyebrows.
