“Don’t think about the past / it’s always there anyway.”

KAPOW!!!!!

if sinners (2025) taught me anything, it's that it IS actually always about race.

you can be oppressed, and still promote and maintain the very same systems of oppression onto other marginalized people. being oppressed in one dimension doesn't allow you to be exempt from oppressing in other dimensions. the "villain" of the movie, remmick, being from the time period of the english colonization of ireland, all the while wanting to take a piece of sammie's own culture from him, use him for it. and this plot point coming after remmick witnesses the significance of sammie's playing within his culture, for his ancestors and how it would shape Black culture in the future.

even in today's society, ive noticed that people treat Black people like a commodity. our worth is only as much as other people decide it to be, and that's usually dependent on how much the oppressor can take from us. for example, the controversy of"internet slang" and how it is blatantly just AAVE with a bad disguise on

do you listen to Black musicians? do you watch Black movies? do you engage with Black creators? do you defend the racist tendencies you notice in your friends, in your family, or do you stay silent? do you listen when Black people tell you you've said or done something racist? do you actually care about not being racist, or do you just not want to look like you're racist?

i just think people have a very specific take on what racism is, and that if they're not committing KKK-levels of violence on people, then they're not racist. or if you've experienced oppression in one form, you cannot possibly be engaging with oppression in another form. but the ways in which we interact with other people and the world will always be through the lens of race, because that is simply what it means for oppression to be systemic, especially in the US and our current political climate

anyway 10/10 movie. highly recommend

i love all the stupid Bad Kids bits that become canon like

riz has full body tattoos. fabian wears size 5 shoes. riz throws up when he gets too excited. kristen has handcuffs engraved with her and tracker’s initials. fig has fishnets made from the hairnet of the lunch lady that adaine murdered. gorgug tried to make a mechanical butt for the hangman to shit out of. fig is blocked on chungledown bim’s phone. adaine made coach daybreak shit his pants and then they convinced ragh that he shit his pants. kristen and tracker 69 so often with so little care to if someone sees them that the others have learned to knock on every door in the manor before going in. fabian briefly forgot riz’s name because he called him “the ball” so much. gorgug sung a song about not getting mad to his barbarian teacher. adaine, this prim and proper sweetheart, consistently chooses violence when dealing with her bio family. kristen created swamp venice. riz tried to get fabian to put dayne’s eye into his own eye socket. gorgug wears size 19 canvas shoes. fabian has pirate porn on his computer. fig disguised herself as a gnome and drove him to kill himself. gorgug wanted to ask a literal vulture if it was his dad, but the vulture flew away before he could. riz hisses at people. all of them are viral online for live-streaming a drunken shrimp party. what the fuck

I love Keiko and Miles. Just two normal average people, trying to make it work at a shit garbage alien frontier outpost, filled with creepy lunatics and Space monsters.
