Mrs. B: We've got stuff going on all weekend.
B: There's a 10am showing on Sunday.
Mrs. B: Should we pre-buy tickets?
B: Pffft. For 10am? No one's going to 10am.

The B's will be seeing this movie next weekend.


So black folks are not that poor then right?

white consumers love to support black empowerment things that involve hash-tagging or watching something from a seat

She doesn’t want to see it. Maybe you’ll have better luck with her.

I liked it. There's a lot I could quibble with, but ultimately I found it a satisfying adventure film with a strong cast of characters, a somewhat by-the-numbers but skillfully told story, a good sense of mythology and world-building, and (unusually for Marvel) a few very striking visuals. Yeah it's often lit like a TV commercial, yes there is some shoddy green-screen work (looked like some weird keylight screen matte issues, or there was something wrong with the 3D transfer), but I was able to overlook that and be endeared by its strengths. It's never going to resonate with me like it's resonating with some of the people I know -- this is meaningful to them on a level beyond my comprehension -- but it was nice to have a Marvel film with some sense of gravitas again. At the very least, it's leagues above the meaningless cartoonishness of Thor: Ragnarok.

I agree with all of what you said about the movie. But there was no technical issues that I noticed. I did see it in 2D though.

Like B, I often do the Sunday Morning shows with my kids and normally have a half empty theater. But I tried to go at 1030 and it was sold out, so we went to the 11am and it was full as well.

I enjoyed it. Overhyped a bit, but like theplatypus said, there's a level of excitement for it that I can't really comprehend. Some things felt really rushed, other things drawn out too long.

platy/skitch: do you understand where the excitement comes from/why it exists (intellectually) and just dont feel it personally or is the whole thing a black box?


one of these answers will produce a much shorter response from me, so choose wisely

This is actually some ingenious marketing strategy. If you load up your corporate junk with concerted effort to appear racially empowering, it all but makes you invulnerable to criticism, and people think even less about shoveling their cash toward your product. I guess it makes sense that this is the only way we're truly going to make progress in America - united by artless commercialism.


i wanted to come back to this today now that im back home. There are no ideas in Black Panther that are themselves revolutionary (in that theyre new). This is not a vanguard film. But the fact that a consensus orgainization like Disney - the embodiment of mainstream sensibilities - has put this out (a movie about black cultural and social empowerment, which is what the themes boil down to), and that it has been so well received critically and with general audiences, is itself a pretty amazing thing and does speak to progress and a cultural relevance at this moment in history.
