This reminds me a little of Mel Brooks dealing with studio notes.
![From the New Yorker (2021): You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at thestudios.
I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on“The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” Hewanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” Inever did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head ofWarner Bros. threw me into the manager’s offi ce, gave me a legal pad and a pencil,and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” froma daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “Nofarting.” I said, “It’s out.”
That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the
campfire scene
.
I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I keptsaying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all hisnotes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running[production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end ofit. You say yes, and you never do it.

If they make a sequel to Muppets Take Manhattan I hope they do it while he’s mayor and put him in it.
Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

When I watched Sinners, all I could think was “this is like a beautifully crafted movie from the eighties by a top tier director”. That’s the feeling it gave me, that’s how it looks, that’s how it delivers.
Have folks started recognizing Coogler as Spielberg's millennial successor yet? Because that's the space he fills, to me.
Well-crafted, beloved, quality, big-audience studio pictures. Run him his propers!
