The Hunters

PRemise

Hunters follows "a diverse band of Nazi Hunters living in 1977 New York City. The Hunters, as they’re known, have discovered that hundreds of high ranking Nazi officials are living among us and conspiring to create a Fourth Reich in the U.S. The eclectic team of Hunters will set out on a bloody quest to bring the Nazis to justice and thwart their new genocidal plans."

Peele Thoughts

“When David Weil first shared The Hunt with me, I immediately knew that we had to be involved,” Peele said. “It’s cathartic. It’s noir. It’s frighteningly relevant. It’s exactly what I want to see on television. I am thrilled to be working with Amazon in bringing this incredible vision to the world.”

My Thoughts

The premise is ugly for me. I am not german, nor European. But, the premise mischaracterize the NAzi party. The NAzi party called itself the third reich based on german history. Even I know about the Holy Roman empire, based on a third of charlemagne's empire and the German empire that ended at the end of the first phase of the world war in the Global European Imperial Era.  By default the USA can not be a fourth reich, if anything the fourth reich is the Germany post end of the second phase of the world war, a germany that reunited its two halves and centers a European Union absent the united kingdom. Yes, most white people in the usa have german lineage but the idea of the usa being a fourth reich or a third rome is a cultural aspect from whites the usa itself, not european germans. Second, Nazi's would not need to have genocidal plans in the usa as the usa during 1977 before or after had a genocidal system already in place between the relationship of whites in the superior to blacks or natives in the inferior.

The premise is totally false to me, an entertainment to the falsely built vanities of the white populace in the usa.

I oppose Peele, it is ancathartic, opposing a cleansing. It is not purying, but adding to the muck that is statian media. It may be noir, it can be implemented as a modern take on film noir. I concur that is has focus,he use the word relevant, but the way is key. The focus is on the problem with multiculturalism in the usa. The question is, are some cultures allowable , are some not? Moreover, who decides when a culture is not acceptable or allowable?

Joker 2

The fan outcry to Joker 2 is interesting. This nearest anarchic plot has many a favorable online message. What does that say about the truth in humanity? I recall many a black person or stated liberal suggesting the movie had no plot and was a disturbing bit of media meant to covet the various groups or individuals who boast violence? I wonder

Nicki Minaj in the article make a false argument. Instagram is not getting rid of likes, they are getting rid of publicizing likes. Sequentially, people will click like but the count will not be visible to anyone but users. This will have a number of automatic effects, some sponsors will change their patterns or who they invest in. The inability of common epeople to view likes influences popularity online. I know this for sure, that likes leads likes. So, not publicizing them will influence the bots and other mechanisms.

The stated goal of instagram is to depressure instagram, a website designed for nothing else but pressure. What is instagram/twitter, these are not websites of community or conversation or in depth community, these websites are all about rapid wild populairty. Based  on gimmick or passion shots, that can not change by deleting likes and if anything will add pressure to have some visible form of acceptance in replace of likes

I remember when the end of the Game Of Thrones T.V. show debate was dominated by talks of the t.v. show Daenarys Targaryen being < place word defined as a negative mental state > when she obliterated Kings Landing /Cerci after she had won the war. Many viewers, most from the usa, found the Khaleesi's actions unwarranted. I suggested they were not unwarranted. First, war is not about right or wrong or knowledge or lack of knowlege < innocence> , it is about survival. Tyrion's pleading is unwarrantedto Jon. And Jon's doubt is correct. In the end, Jon from the television show didn't kill Daenarys for the seven kingdom's he did it cause he didn't want any more part of the life of war that daenerys was on. He was selfish and in that broke all the honor he deemed he wanted in the book or t.v. show.  No matter your stance to my position, another instance similar to daenerys occurred in the japanese animation Black CLover. Where Ligt, the leader of a group called, the eye of the midnight son, used his power to cover an entire human kingdom with deadly blades. HE was thwarted unlike daenerys but like daenerys his actions are based on past grievances. Yet, the reply to Ligt's actions by fans is not, he is < place the same word defined as a negative mental state for Daenerys > , but he must be stopped. Two key points, first Ligt is male, daenerys is female. Second, ligt failed while daenerys succeeded. But the question remain, barring fanbase size variance, do you consider Ligt similar to Daenery Targaryen?

In honor of Coming To America 2 I wish to introduce the bootleg album cover to the first Sexual Chocolate Album entitled, The Comeback Of Sexual Chocolate. In honor of the album coming out, I offer the many fans of the group and its perennially poignant bandleader Randy Watson, an opportunity to guess the title to the nine tracks. Just copy and paste the text below and place your guesses, whether they are original or covers that is your guess I am not telling. The new Album is coming 2020... A bonus track is from Randy Watson a capella entitled: Thank you for the final words Reverend Brown

Black Solidarity Day 2019

Black Solidarity day was this past November 1st and nearest three day later, the questions in my mind are simple.

What Black community do you want to look at you when you close your eyes for the last time?

Can the Black community ,in the U.S.A., ,become solid and more solid while part of a multiculturally chaotic U.S.A.?

What is the best example of Black collaborative art excluding music,collaborative defined as two or more Black artists working together?

These photos prove to me a film about positive nazis need to occur, after you read my thoughts and see the photos, do you agree?
while those who are jewish or those who fought in the war against nazi germany or their descendents have a personal negativity toward nazi germany. Not every moment in nazi germany for german people was some murder fest or prequel to hatred or anything like that
The photos linked below are no other than photos in the southern states in the usa of white children enjoying a hanging. If anything they are better cause the encamped are not present while the glory in the south was to be photographed next to their carnage.
when I see photos in the thread below, I think, the modern people en mass forgive the white populace in the american continent for its larger crimes against native americans or blacks while never allow forgiveness for german nazi's smaller crimes against fellow germans  
What separates this from

what is the best representation of a native american warrior in a film?

I like buck and the preacher,  josie wales, apocalypto, or the white buffalo in the film world, but what is the best native american warrior in a film. I recall the geronimo tv special , but that wasn't a movie house film. Although, I liked the action.

I was inspired to ask after seeing this article, native american veterans memorial

Scorcese stated, MArvel movies are theme parks, not cinema?

is scorcese correct? If I am honest, aside some others offline who stated this already, he is correct. I see the modern film industry as a two part creature. One part are films the other part are visual paloozas. MArvel movies or most superhero films are not based on quality but visual effects, in the same way the disney princess movies or live action disney remakes are visuals. the goal when people went to see the lion king wasn't to see a great film, it was to see the lion king in a greater visual spectrum. Same with aladdin or beauty and the beast.
Do I personally, go to see any of these films... no. It will take a lot for me to see a film for special effects, but most movie house goers today go for visual effects, not story. they will judge something streamed/cable on story, even though game of thrones has now meant cable/streaming is in the special effects palooza mode for the most part in the future.
The problem scorcese isn't admitting is parenting. Most parents in the near past and today, teach their kids the power of glitz. is it shiny! is the constant message. How many adults have i heard say, how does it look? how many people I have communicated with who had problems with a film/show or anything in media cause they felt the art was not glitzy enough. A person's imagination should be able to handle all levels of art. the fact that most statians , as statians drive media sales, are visually based, proves their bad rearing. But scorcese can't do anything about that. so he has to realize, that outside the usa is where quality can trump visuals in the viewership.

What will the internet be without usa based firms?
I thought about the internet and said to myself. What if I took out every usa based firm on the internet, what will it be?
Comprehend, the data storage places for websites or webservices are global in nature, not located in one particular country, this is to provide the illusion of seamlessness.
But anyway, if you take out, google/facebook/twitter/yahoo/tumblr/wordpress/instagram even though that is facebook/youtube even though that is google/microsoft one drive/microsoft bing/myspace... took out every single usa based or usa started online firm.. what will the internet be?
This question came into my mind after I thought about a black woman I know who owns her own website in ghana, concerning womens sport. Her website made me consider the internet outside the usa, how strong is it? absent usa based websites, a huge vacuum will exists in the internet, as it is today.
what say you?

I like buck and the preacher,  josie wales, or the white buffalo in the film world, but what is the best native american soldier film. I recall the geronimo tv special , but that wasn't a movie house film. but, I liked the action.

Lucas like many others know what happens when you sell your media property to whomever. IT is no longer yours and the control is gone. If anything, the real problem is Lucas sold everything to disney but didn't  have something new planned. He is imaginative, always remember as an artist, if you sell your work, you do not own it. Think to something new, something else.

Ta-Nehisi Coates
presents
"The Water Dancer"
(his debut novel!)

Coates in Conversation with
Nikole Hannah-Jones This Tuesday!
September 24, 2019
8:00 PM
at Kings Theatre
1027 Flatbush Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11226
(at Tilden Avenue in Flatbush)

Ta-Nehisi Coates (author of "Between the
World and Me" and "We Were Eight Years
in Power") returns to the Kings Theatre
in Brooklyn to launch his first novel!

"The Water Dancer" is the dramatic story of an atrocity inflicted on generations of women, men, and children---the violent and capricious separation of families---and the war they waged to simply make lives with the people they loved.

"In prose that sings and imagination that soars, Coates further cements himself as one of this generation's most important writers, tackling one of America's oldest and darkest periods with grace and inventiveness. This is bold, dazzling, and not to be missed." (Publishers Weekly starred review).

Coates launches his book at Kings Theatre in conversation with Nikole Hannah-Jones, an award-winning investigative reporter covering segregation and racial injustice for The New York Times Magazine.

What fictional character will you vote for presidency of the USA?

I thought about this. IT is a hard one. We as humans beings talk about who will be a leader, but the better question is, what do the people need? I ask you to list, what people need in the usa and then name a character who fits the ability to deliver the items in your list. ... I will not submit, but wait to see what others say.

GO!!!:)
