People from Chicago are famously cool about people from neighboring municipalities claiming the "Chicago" title. I am sure they will be totally fine with this
To be clear, I love both films but it takes a small miracle for a film like Booster to be a box office smash regardless of cast/director.
That being said, Boosters rules and if we work hard enough, we can make a small miracle happen
I am sure race is a part of it, but it feels disingenuous to say it is the main culprit for the box-office differences. Boosters is a surrealist anti-capitalist mess of a movie (complimentary), which just doesn't have the same mass appeal as a relatively standard horror flick
Not a single person I've heard talk about Obsession knew anything about Curry Barker before this film.
I Love Boosters is Boots Riley's 2nd film. He's a musician and has been famous longer than Curry Barker has been alive.
Yes, it's because of whiteness.
BREAKING
Bill Cassidy, a physician who abandoned his principles to help pave the way for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to become HHS Secretary, has lost his primary race and finished in third place.
I think people often forget The Pitt has 4 characters: Robbie, Langdon,
Santos, and Dana. Everyone else, as wonderful as they are, is there to facilitate the story going on between these 4
I get why the "no transwoman is all that competitive" argument is appealing, but it misses the point. Even if transwomen had athletic success, they should be allowed to compete! There are better ways to make this argument than the one that abandons them upon the first medal.
Nikki Hiltz, a transgender & non-binary Olympian, speaks out against the event’s new anti-trans policy:
“I don't know who needs to hear this but ZERO trans women competed in the Paris Olympics. Only ONE trans woman weightlifter competed in Tokyo 2021 and she did not win a medal. Can we please stop obsessing over trans people? And idk maybe focus our time, energy, and resources into real problems women's sports face?”
City of Comebacks!! 🤩
