Thoughts? Reviews seem pretty bad, but it's a decent cast.

They had me with the cast until Armand Hammer, not gonna lie

lmfao I was just fixing to say the same thing: I was heavily getting into this casting and then they just trolled me by dumping that baking soda right into the mix.

me tooooooooo but from the trailer he seemed well cast (an obnoxious white dude)

(no subject) -

topherfy

all the wind was taken out of my sails when i got to his photo

lmao same

same.

i'm so curious as to how he'll figure in.

met

yeah I'm leaning toward not watching it because of that. also, the summary tells me nothing about what the show is about.

He’s not it for too long. I almost didn’t go for the same reason but my friend convinced me and I was glad that I did.

these posters though...
i'd say they're vaguely valenstan-esque except a lot of valenstans looked better this year.

lol, that's totally what they remind me of!! couldn't put my finger on it.

I got Spike Lee vibes from the poster. Reminds me a lot of 'She Hate Me' poster

Between all the sound effects.....yeah I don't think so so far.

sound effects?

OMG @ his "white" voice lol

This looks... interesting but I will still watch it for that cast (not you Armie)

i do feel things for lakeith stanfield though. he makes me feel things.

2018 needs to be his year as a lead actor already

Boots Riley wrote and directed it?
He opened for Nine Inch Nails when I saw them in 2009.

This is definitely intriguing but the layering of the "white voice" over his mouth movements looks really bad.

Yeah, I replaced the twitter trailer with the youtube trailer in the post because I thought it was a quality issue, but it's just not lined up well. Drunk History does it better than that.

i think that's the point lol

You got my attention with Lakeith, you got my guaranteed attendance at Steven.

Also, Tessa!

this whole cast (minus armie) is amazing. i think it could be interesting.

I'm going to see this because of how absurd it is and also how correct it is with white voices. I can't tell you how many people are shocked when they see my Black ass come in for an interview. Coworker who I interviewed said, "I was talking to a white woman named Veronica."

Me: "That was me."

Her: "Well, you sound white."

LOL! This is so true. I don't even notice when I do it anymore. I work front desk and have to call up visitors and deliveries. I was calling to announce a food delivery. The guy stared at me and said wow, your whole voice changed, damn. I couldn't stop laughing.

someone said that to you in an interview? lol that's risky

What I meant is that after the woman was interviewed and got the job, she told me that she thought I was white.

Lmao I’m fucking dead

I’m really excited for this movie.

I wanna see this for everyone but Armie

notyeezy

Mte

people are always taken off guard when they realise I was the person they spoke to on the phone lol

they had me @ lakeith, they held me @ yeun & i was committed @ tessa.

lol @ armie’s poster being the only one that says “isn’t sorry to bother you”

LOL

I didn't even peep that it said that lmao

lmao

lool

here for Boots Riley
