Consumption is ultimately meaningless. No new value is added to any that consumes or does not consume. You remain intrinsically yourself. Ascribing so much cultural worth to this film black panther (or any art) is just enforcing the false panacea that there is a product out there that would make you more "Humane" by its consumption. It doesn't exist.

I saw a video where Snoop was with Psy once in a Korean restaurant. Also I'm pretty sure part of Black Panther takes place in Korea doesn't it?

People can ascribe whatever meaning they want to art precisely because it has no intrinsic meaning. I find it liberating knowing that consuming something means nothing because then it doesn't say anything about you. You are free to consume whatever you want.

There's a Korean BBQ place by me that has karaoke that I like meeting people at after work because they have good wings. They have a bunch of TV's playing a variety of KPop music videos and every other song sounds like Ashanti is about to start singing the hook after Fabolous finishes his verse.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle started out super slow but then it morphed into one of those bizarre outliers that takes off and just keeps raking in money week after week, similar to Frozen and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. It'll end up making close to a billion dollars.

Yeah, but here's the thing - ain't no rule says we can't make a fun movie anyway! ...Yeah, you're right!

Maybe this is a generational gap thing, but The Rock has a couple more of kid-friendly franchise sequels under his belt that you think would be flops but aren't? Thinking of Escape from somethinsomething Mountain and some kind of dinosaur movie.

They completely waste Bobby Cannavale (which is a sin) and Karren Gillen's outfit is a little eh, but there's some clever poo poo and everyone is having a good time. It's definitely worth a watch.

It reminds me of how Megyn Kelly was legit shocked when she switched networks and realized her new job actually has accountability and does fact checking on their stories. Dumbasses like this just have no concept of how news is investigated or made. Like gee how could anyone working for any news company on earth possibly find out who the students of this school are and cover their story? What is this magic? It must be a huge conspiracy.

Calling them the "parkland puppets" and suggesting he is sick of them is insulting as they are brave teenagers trying to affect change in the world after going through horrific tragedy. This shouldnt have to be said. It also plays into the building narrative the right is pushing that these kids are crisis actors, fakes, being coached, or what have you. Its despicable.
