Amusingly, my daughter loves the '80s. She likes the fashion, music, and hairstyles more than I did when I was living it. LOL! We periodically have '80s movie night. That's fun. :)
The 80s was its own special kind of crazy, but the movies and music weren't cranked out in corporate cookie cutter lines like so much of today's stuff. So the 80s is more authentic.

I won't go so far as to call Ryan Coogler's Sinners a masterpiece (though it's damn close), but it's as good a film as you're likely to see anytime soon. Far removed from the various IP properties being foisted on us, this is a film that is just as interested in saying something about our society as it is about making money. It's weaknesses are in its ambition--the film has 15 pounds of ideas crammed into a 10 pound film.

But damn, what a ride it is.

My favorite movie ever. Saw it at way too young if an age. I was about 4 or 5. It did not make me afraid of the ocean. I can quote Quint's Indianapolis speech verbatim while doing a very bad impression of Robert Shaw.


I wanted to be a marine biologist at one point. Then discovered they have to rely on a lot of grants and most were rich before they studied it.
