    Jeffrey Wright is one of those actors where every single role is mesmerizing, the man just has a quality to him that demands attention to each nuanced gesture and word.

    This movie is theatrical art and Oscar worthy, not like the make believe superheroes hanging from cables next to green screens. This is true art imitating life.

      If this isn’t about superheroes, then why is the president of Rick and Morty here? 🤔

    It reminds me of Spike Lee's Bamboozled.

      Big time, surprised nobody actually references it in the movie.
      "Hey this is like in Bamboozled." 🤣

    I'm getting "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka" vibes. Keenan Ivory Wayans movie from the late 80s.

    There's a reason why the media didn't push the "Oscars So White" controversy this year even though most of the winners were white. They don't want to draw any attention to this movie.

    I loved this seen because I write a little bit and this is how I build my characters in my head and bring them alive

    Low key I was hoping to see more scenes like these from Monk's fake book. Especially when he's interacting with his characters. Also, his MC looks like a pirate, I wonder if Monk was still grappling with his mythology fantasy and still wants to input that in his characters...probably not but still fun to wonder.

    This scene reminds me of the writers block bit from Spike Jonze’s Adaptation, simply in its way of depicting the writing process through entering the author’s headspace.

    The real situation that shows itself is what people are not sure how to state the facts of our shortcomings as a society on the wrongs that are not being addressed, and say how shameful all of this really is. the point at hand is to let you do the right thing from this moment forward. we have to know that it must not continue.
