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!

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

“five socially-conscious films are sneaking into cinemas”

>>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.

>>Far From the Tree Also opening July 20, is the documentary Far From the Tree. Directed by Rachel Dretzin, it explores families where “the apple fell far from the tree” — in other words, situations where children differ significantly from their parents because of autism, Down Syndrome, dwarfism, transgenderism or other characteristics. “I describe the documentary as a film that turns your assumptions about difference on their head and makes you realize just how many walls we all put up to people that look and act, behave differently,” Dretzin told Urban Hollywood 411. “It’s a film about one of the few places in the world where you can’t actually avoid people who are different from you, which is your family.” Based on the book by the same name from Andrew Solomon, Dretzin says the documentary speaks directly to our times.

aren’t absent fathers a thing in the black community? they do avoid their offspring as it is, different or same

>>It will arrive in theaters on August 10, to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia that left a counter-protester dead.

that “white supremacist” organizer was a proud Obama supporter who was playing agent provocateur. the narrative was false and mythmaking.

communism sucks as much as nazism and yet the hollywood reds march on without rebuke

>>“Genetic testing and science is advancing at such a rapid pace that we will pretty soon be able to eliminate some of these conditions if we want to,” Dretzin added. “I think the book and the film are really a cry against that and for that kind of beautiful diversity.”

march of dimes promotes such testing to snuff out lives via abortion. doesn’t cure a problem just snuffs it out

I have a simple rule. Movies about "racial" issues are automatically off my list. They are shoving that sh*t in our faces 24/7, and I'll be d*mned if I'm going to pay for the "privilege".

So, their strategy is to make up for the big budget flops by releasing small budget flops?
