"Sorry To Bother You" is playing at the Alamo Drafthouse in SF this weds. An amazing film and I'm excited to see it again in a theater. https://drafthouse.com/sf/event/weird-wednesday-sorry-to-bother-you #BootsRiley #SanFrancisco #SorryToBotherYou

INT. CHINATOWN

I'm watching two episodes at a time, which is my usual limit, but it's very difficult to not plow through them all.

It's also Twilight Zone meets Sorry to Bother You; a tv show that feels extremely familiar and unlike anything else, all at once.

The production is fantastic; grounded and surreal, using the procedural format to mock and deconstruct the foundation of nearly every tv drama, across genres.

I watched #TheSubstance last night and then looked through user and critic reviews after.

I found myself in a similar situation as I did after watching #SorryToBotherYou

I went into both films spoiler free, but was not surprised by the direction they went in at all, with either film.

Lots of reviews for both had audiences saying "What the fuck did I just watch" in response.

But with both films, I instead was saying "It makes perfect logical sense that the film went in this direction".

I'm not sharing this on social media to be smug, though, and boast about how much smarter I am than others.

Maybe part of me does think that, but a louder voice is saying "why I am I so weird and not freaked out by the twists in these films like everyone else is"

Content warning for "body horror" in both films. FYI.

What is going on in WA? This sounds a lot like the “WorryFree” corporation from ‘Sorry to Bother You’, the Boots Riley horror comedy. The workers might want to read their contracts closely.

#ImAVirgo, by #BootsRiley on #Amazon sounds as weird and interesting as his earlier #SorryToBotherYou and is apparently another commentary on the condition of the average working person, along with #race, and #revolution.

Sadly, it'll be a while before I can watch it because I canceled #Prime at the end of last year and have zero plans to ever rejoin.

Lovely "blink and you'll miss it" moment in #SorryToBotherYou movie where the #AdBusters style defacement of one of the corporate slavery adverts gets appropriated as art in the CEO's mansion.

Cette semaine, j'ai visiblement été un peu plus motivé que les précédentes ! ✨

J'ai bouclé #ThePeripheral en alternance avec l'incroyable et surprenant ovni #ImAVirgo ; rappel à moi-même d'enfin prendre le temps de voir #SorryToBotherYou.

J'ai donc vu 2 films.

Hier soir, j'ai vu l'épisode spécial d'#Invincible consacré aux origines d'#AtomEve et je ne serais pas contre plus de choses du genre pour patienter entre deux saisons d'un truc apprécié. (Mais ❤️ sur les artistes.)

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend #SorryToBotherYou, 2018, #DirectedBy #BootsRiley.

If its commentary on #race, #capitalism, #art, and, presciently, #unions and #WorkerRights don't hook you, then seeing #ArmieHammer play what we now know is a fairly true-to-life version of himself might be what you need to be convinced (#NiggaShit).

Too bad #Boots' new show is going to #AmazonPrime, but I hope his projects do well.

Boots Riley has a new movie out and it's available via streaming!

Bound to be just as fabulous as his other work.

#ImAVirgo is exactly the kind of show you'd expect if you heard the guy who made #SorryToBotherYou made a series. This is impressively gonzo, and I love it. #BootsRiley
