#JonathanMajors is in the “best thing about whatever he’s in” stage of his career

It is inconceivable that you can leave SINNERS off of this list and expect to be considered objective film journalists. 40 years in this business has taught me that nothing will ever really change. The film business is more about business than film.

@RainLadybugTwo @alvzpepe @adamtotscomix Swiiiing and another miss.

@thewatchpod @andygreenwald Really appreciated hearing this after that absolutely confounding @TheBigPic discussion. Love CR, but smart to have a real head 2nd chair on this one. Good insights and observations all around.

[Michael J. Cargill @cargillmichaelj]

@Maaaatcaaast @SeanFennessey @TheBigPic Agreed

[Michael J. Cargill @cargillmichaelj]

@SeanFennessey @TheBigPic One time I think you both got it wrong. Kind of lost me with the critique that it was confusing to have a real life song with Monster Mash but a fictional Ed Sullivan type? Huh?? It was also pretty clear the cartoon was just a nod to their popularity in that world. Weird takes.

The #Sinners rant on @blankcheckpod has put the absolute biggest grin on my face. PREACH! @blankcheckpod

In what world is jerky breath better than morning breath?!? #TheLastOfUs

@LindseyCreated That pain / trauma induced moan has been at the heart of some of the greatest music ever

@VaquerTracker @briannaaplease @apat10 He said that he’s not racist. Not that he’s an ally. An ally is not someone who thinks that they’re acting in the best interest of black people, but someone who is *actually* is. Remmick wasn’t a clan member but he wasn’t an ally.

[Michael J. Cargill @cargillmichaelj]

Cool. So now can we SLAM #DailyMail for their bullshit headline? Cos all I saw were a few dissenting tweets. Clickbait faux-rnalism at its finest. https://t.co/8Lss9gmQIx

[Michael J. Cargill @cargillmichaelj]

@Variety This headline truly could have (and should have) stopped after the word horror film. For a publication that benefits from box office success, the qualifiers seem misguided and flatfooted.

[Michael J. Cargill @cargillmichaelj]

You hear stories from legends about how their parents looked at rock and roll and r&b and the blues as the devils music. But the truth is, that was OUR music. Our heritage. The devil only showed up when we played cos he liked a good beat.

[Michael J. Cargill @cargillmichaelj]

Sinners is mind blowing, wholly original, deeply felt contemplation on heritage, culture, and legacy…with vampires! It’s no accident that Coogler pushed to retain/regain the rights to this film. As Prince once said Ownership, that's what you give your kids. That's your legacy.”

[Michael J. Cargill @cargillmichaelj]

There is a scene where it hits you that this isn’t just about what it seems, and has greater goals in mind. a little jarring, at first but as it played, I felt myself leaning forward feeling almost giddy at what unfolded A huge swing, that sails out of the park in a big way.

[Michael J. Cargill @cargillmichaelj]

@Pagodabaumbean @24FPSBot Sorry, I just completely disagree.

[Michael J. Cargill @cargillmichaelj]

@SeanFennessey Feels like someone is trying to grift attention via name drop.

[Sean Fennessey @SeanFennessey]

SINNERS.

See it.

Listen to me, @akdobbins, and @VanLathan break it down.

Listen to Ryan Coogler explain how he did it.

We needed this. @TheBigPic
