Enjoyed seeing "Sorry to Bother You"

[sasha_feather]

Previews were:
2 different movies starring Tiffany Haddish, both of which look cute, light, and fun. Night School and Nobody's Fool. She has a lot of upcoming films-- good for her.

Blindspotting, starring Daveed Diggs. This looks intense and violent.

The Hate You Give, based on the novel.

The Meg. A movie about a giant shark, starring Jason Statham. Looks kind of awesome.

The Sisters Brothers. A Western starring zero women. Not my jam.

I don't want to spoil "Sorry to Bother You," so have a cut.


I would describe this as somewhat like "Get Out", but more like "Tank Girl." It's about worker exploitation and greed and resisting those things. Recommended. I loved the main actor, Lakeith Stanfield, who has the most amazing expressive eyes.

Content notes: drug use, alcohol, some violence against protestors. Gratuitous shots of naked women.

"Sorry to bother you" is on the list of movies I want to see, for sure. I like both Get Out and Tank Girl, so it's all good.

"Blindspotting" looks to be very good, and not just because it has Daveed Diggs in it. I saw Diggs and Rafael Casal on The Daily Show a couple of weeks ago, talking about it. (I said to Jae: "Look, it's Thomas Jefferson!" I <3 Daveed Diggs.)

Daveed Diggs is really electric! And his voice is instantly recognizable. I will probably watch this one but not in the theater.

I think you will like Sorry to Bother you!

I liked "Sorry To Bother You" and "Get Out" so now I think I should see "Tank Girl"!
