This will never not be funny

Scandal

Olivia Pope's dad has some stuff to say to Fitz
It aint easy in these streets

WELP!

A complete Sentence = NO.

“When you say “no,” and you mean “no,” and the other person, regardless of whether it’s in a situation where somebody wants to attack you or a situation where somebody wants to change your opinion…

When you say no, and the other person continues, you should think immediately — not “how do I make it nice, how do I make it better” — but immediately think why is this person trying to control me because “no” is a complete sentence.”

Sometimes

It's like this

No helping it

Mmhmm

oh yeh

directors

These are some Filmmakers of African descent
1. Steve McQueen for his behemoth 12 Years A Slave.

 

2. Ava Duvernay, award winning filmmaker extraordinaire. From publicists, to black film activator, distributor and director. SEE her Scandal episode.

 

3. Bradford Young, cinematographer that makes everything look amazing. Mother of George and Ain’t Them Bodies Saints this last year. 

4. Andrew  Dosunmu, photographer turned director, with Mother of George this year. An auteur, leading us into the philosophy of the African aesthetic in film. Everytime, he, without visual effects, turns Brooklyn into an unbelievably gorgeous African city

5. John Ridley, Screenwriter. 12 Years A Slave.

6. Jahmil Qubeka, director, Of Good Report. He burned his passport when his film was banned. 

7. Chika Anadu, Lawyer turned director, winning awards for first feature ’B for Boy’. A grown up, female-driven drama that challenges archetypes for African women and female (mother/daughter) relationships on screen.

8. Frances Bodomo, for the short film that stole our attention ‘Afronauts’. A scifi short with a distinctive visual aesthetic based on the African space race.

9. Kibwe Tavares, director, Jonah. If you’ve seen this scifi short, set in Dar Es Salaam, and partial commentary on tourism and the environment without sacrificing the entertainment factor. 

10. Akosua Adoma Owusu, director, Kwaku Ananse. Currently rebuilding and opening the Rex Cinema in Ghana, Akosua’s body of work has the mark of a cinematic force to be reckoned with.

MLK Day

Today

Remembering the legacy

The hard work

The good times and the bad

Should be a day of reverence

Deadline

I missed the first deadline and I told them why

They were understanding and gave me a second one which I will stick to
I'm gonna work hard and make it
I have to.

Sad

This scene in 12 Years A Slave made me cry

When she asked him to kill her and that he wouldn't go to hell for it because he is good and he is blessed
If you have ever known despair that deep you would feel it coming through the screen
Even if you haven't....

Welp!
