    So I guess they didn't make good movies because their schedule could have been longer

    Movies aren't competitions. I'm sure Spike Lee is completely professionally satisfied with his last five movies.

    There always can be more. That doesn't justify less money based on race but there are plenty black movies that I'm sure the maker believes is complete and needs nothing more.

    I mentioned What's Love Got To Do With It as a groundbreaking movie in terms of Oscars in the other thread. 25 years ago. Have you ever seen it? Does it lack in budget?

    Or maybe if you asked all directors they all want more.

    Financing movies I'm sure become complicated on financing for everyone

    You're taking an individual or subset of blacks' contrasting perspective about single media product, conflating it with all your personal **** and amplifying it to claim it's a problem with the whole "community." Petty projection is a pitiful pattern from pgabs.

    I lived in Omaha for work for a decade after school, but grew up in Baytown and lived in Houston all through undergrad at U of H. Which, like your childhood school district's racial makeup, hasn't been relevant for twenty ******* years. If you haven't had enough experiences or introspection to think beyond your race or stop assuming you can appraise everyone else with the same SPF, it's no wonder you're miserable enough to hijack a thread about a joke clip because you're earnestly pissed off some black people enjoyed a comic book film.

    I'm not upset people enjoyed the movie. I think the reaction to the as a civil rights milestone is ridiculous

    As long as you keep misinterpreting I'll keep responding

    Chicago didn't see 650 murder twenty years ago with a first half pace of over 750

    You talk about racism on this forum being so why shouldn't I talk about poor blacks addressing internal problems

    Maybe you are missing something about movie making process. It isn't about making a "good" movie. It's not a factory job where you just try make a product good enough on the assembly line. It's an art as well as a business.

    You didn't make any post on here 25 years ago. pgabriel might have but that isn't you. What's Love Got To Do With It was made by a white filmmaker. Why are you bringing that up in a discussion about black filmmakers?

    I’m still trying to follow what the hell Pga is talking about. He’s all over the place.

    I still think Panther movie has fairly lasting themes for what it is. Instead of making Wakanda and colonialism binary, it became more about holding power and the lasting consequences with the choices made from it.

    Well that explains why Apple is Supremacist Devil.

    I think this movie has shown that a lot of people were waiting for a new twist on typical super hero films.

    Black Panther continues to make history.
    Black Panther has been breaking box-office records since it hit the big screen in February, but this week it will be making a different kind of history when it becomes the first film to be shown in a movie theater in Saudi Arabia in 35 years. The milestone comes as a result of Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s efforts to modernize the country, and the theater will even allow men and women to sit together and enjoy the feature. Via a deal with AMC, theaters in 40 cities are expected to open within the next five years. Despite these efforts, it is likely that Black Panther will face censorship, and be limited to one kiss and one curse.
