🧿 This is the first CD I ever bought with my own money. I remember getting it at Target then proceeding to play and sing the shit out of it, lol. What was your favorite track off of the album? “Angel of Mine” is still my all time favorite from Monica. #MusicMonday (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_NTCuUA0uJ/?igshid=1fwllwidb77tw

Five years is a long time but I’ve never once forgotten these views. Can’t wait to be back in SF this week to visit old friends + celebrate my 30th birthday. 🌁 🎂 [Thirty/Flirty/Thriving] 😂 (at Buena Vista Park)
“...would they have you back, you think? The FBI? Those people you despise almost as much as they despise you. Would they give you a medal, Clarice, do you think? Would you have it professionally framed and hang it on your wall to look at and remind you of your courage and incorruptibility? All you would need for that, Clarice...is a mirror.” [Hannibal/2001] 🍽🧠

Black Panther (Film) | Rating: 4.5/5
After the death of his father, T'Challa returns home to the African nation of Wakanda to take his rightful place as king. When a powerful enemy suddenly reappears, T'Challa's mettle as king -- and as Black Panther -- gets tested when he's drawn into a conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk.
:takes off reading glasses used purely for effect: So, I went to see #BlackPanther (or Negro Panther as someone nameless called it, lol) and…it was good. Very good. I must say, this is the first origin movie in a long time you THOTs hyped up but actually turned out to be worth it.
Pros: It felt like a true standalone movie and there was very little mention of any other marvel characters or story lines. The plot itself was solid and it touched on A LOT of relevant black issues but did so accurately and in a digestible way for the general audience IMO: African & African American tensions (your black experience may not be my black experience but we can and should still support one another), the black family dynamic (specifically the brother-sister bond and cousin bond), black women in general (strength, intelligence, loyalty to a fault at times, beauty standards, etc.), family secrets, colonizers (lol) and our relationships with them (the good = Everett Ross/the bad = Ulysses Klaw), etc. I really could go on. There was a nice balance of both sides’ perspectives in every topic. Plus, it was really nice to see so much melanin popping on one screen.
Cons: For a Marvel movie, I thought there could have been a few more action sequences or the sequences we got could have been longer. However, there wasn’t really a need for them other than entertainment and they wouldn’t have served the plot in any way. The fighting style of most of the characters was a little chunky to me but I think it fit the theme. It would have been nice if the elder council members had more to say. They were just props/background decoration and I was waiting for them to start popping off like aunties (“hey auntie”) and uncles at a family gathering but they never really did. I wish we got more insight into the different tribes that made up Wakanda. And, I think the way the Klaw was handled could have been done in a more dramatic way. To be chasing this man for half the film, the climax was a bit of a letdown.
Overall, good movie but at the end of the day it’s still a Hollywood blockbuster backed by a big studio mainly focused on earnings. It will serve to inspire a new generation of creators/creative thinkers but I’m not convinced it’s a catalyst for anything as some seem to think it will be. People make change, not movies. What will you do to keep the story/momentum going once Marvel and the rest of the world have moved onto the next flavor of the month (Infinity War)?
P.S. - A few savages called me Erik Killmonger lol but I related to M’Baku/Jabari tribe leader most, your dark humored and petty older cousin who tells it like it is but will be there for you when it truly matters.
P.S. 2 - Was anyone else screaming, “Drop into the floor. DROP!” at Daniel Kaluuya’s character? :stirs tea and taps with spoon:
