Have we ever.

Looking forward to seeing it

I'm going to have to watch cartoons in order to go to sleep tonight LOL

That alone makes me want to wait till it comes to cable or something.

Of the stereotypical-yet-true-more-often-than-not trope of the Black person dying first in the horror movie.

Seriously, he should do this. Kill the only White guy in the movie in the first five minutes. The conservative snowflakes upset about Captain Marvel are going to need something else over which to get outraged.

because it was MY First thought. We need to cross that barrier but you know we'll hear screams of "white genocide."

To me, if we accept what Peele says about his motivation that barring regular life, living as a black person in America is a horror show, then the death of a white person first in his movie can speak to another discussion, a larger narrative that's not explored in an impactful way. And that is, as Michael Cook says, "...don't be fooled, this prison industrial complex has not only swept up black America but all people of limited means; hunting minorities and the poor at rates higher than any other on the planet. This thing grew bigger than anyone could have imagined. It's militarized and increased in scope and aggression. This racist, as it clearly is even if we took all the minorities out of the equation, leaving only the white majority, we would still be over incarcerated. We would still have vile police brutality. We would still have a criminal justice system desperately in need of reform."

My point starts at 5:43

This is the conversation - of immediate white death, that clueless and racist whites and thereby white liberals alike, could not help but engage in. The SQUIRREL! (distraction) of white genocide and, too many times, so-called divisiveness, et cetera has to be dismissed to deepen the conversation instead of silencing it.

TlalocW, thank you for opening an avenue to speak what's on my mind.

and have a great deal of respect for him, but there is NO WAY I will ever see this movie. I would never sleep again.

But I'll make myself go with family to up the ticket sales, then spend the rest of the movie slumped in my seat with my hands over my eyes. The trailer alone gives me nightmares.

But there's nothing like the feeling of desperately clinging to my husband, who HAS to be brave though knowing we're safe is an added bonus that he's there for me, as well as IRL, is so comforting and sexy

Hey, don't judge a girl for holding on to all the possible joy

without his larger metaphoric lens of discrimination and inequality. Sheesh! "Get Out" is now a college course that focuses on the shit show of the fragility of black life no matter where black people are.
