They did a Hard Boiled and we finally got a starwar with synthesizers on the soundtrack. At this point you probably already have an idea of what this movie’s gonna be. It was that.
Once again the “every movie gets three stars” gimmick bites me in the ass. This is excellent. Like, all-time excellent. It’s not perfect (of course it’s too long. They all are.) but it’s close. Fans of The Coup (like me) are used to Riley’s political points being succinct and forceful but I really like how his films open that up and let him play with what he’s saying, make you guess just a little about the specifics of the point he’s…
This is not a review of this film. It’s just a story about a thing that happened:
Once in like 94 or 95 my roomate and I got caught in Freaknik traffic in downtown Atlanta and everyone around us was having the BEST time and were all so happy that we couldn't imagine being mad about it. All these rowdy-ass Black college kids just partying at a dead stop on the actual interstate and these two whiter-than-a-sheet-of-paper dudes who WERE NOT PART OF IT got to share in the fun for about a half hour. It ruled.
