The first sounds monumentally UNfunny.

The second sounds like a snoozer.

And the third is from Spike lee, and he makes lousy movies.

Blindspotting might work as a ‘Buddy Film’, if it’s not too preachy and biased. All the others, no thank you.
I don’t wish to pay about $15.00 just to feel lousy about something I already know and have already seen from different directors.

...unless you consider rampaging dinosaurs a pressing societal problem.

Peter Fonda, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Robert DeNiro, Dan Rather.... The list goes on.

...African-American detective in the 1970s who infiltrated a local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in Colorado.

Is this the sequel to White Chicks?

Totally believable!

Eddie Murphy did the first one, and I guarantee it is funnier.

The sad thing is that The Spike Lee movie is based on an event that would probably make a really interesting movie if it were not for the fact that loony Lee made it.

What was that Dave Chappelle bit about the blind, black white supremacist? I saw it years ago, and it was funny as hell.

Yet more reasons to continue my ~28 year streak of not darkening the door of cinemas.

“five socially-conscious films are sneaking into cinemas”

right there is five I know i won’t go to see ... actually, i won’t go see ANY hollywood movies any more, so i guess that’s not saying a whole lot ...

>>Sorry To Bother You This surrealistic comedy starring Lakeith Stanfield (Get Out) and Tessa Thompson (Creed) is earning rave reviews for wicked social satire that touches on race, class and capitalism. Stanfield plays Cassius Green, a telemarketer in Oakland whose career takes off once he adopts a “white” telephone voice with customers.

doesn’t sound very surreal to me

Eraserhead is surreal
Brazil is surreal
Nothing Lasts Forever is surreal
Hellzapoppin is surreal
Un Chien Andalou/An Andalusian Dog is surreal

black people try to say “anything is rock and roll” these days, are they trying to do the same with surrealism now?

it displays pig ignorance.

When they all lose money, Hollywood will get angry and make even more hardcore versions of them.

It is sad that the liberals do not acknowledge that Political Correctness has done more damage to race relations than the Klan ever dreamed of.

If I can laugh at myself and not get my knickers in a twist when others do likewise, then I am a free man. Otherwise, I am a slave to the whims and prejudices of others.

Blazing Saddles and "Sticks & Stones..." should be taught & discussed freely in our schools and greater society.

Affirmative Action is the most blatantly racist and demeaning policy in America today. MLK, Jr's "Content of their character" has been trampled by liberals almost as much as they have trampled the American flag.

(Enough soapbox. I'll stop now.)
