is it required to watch Titans first, or does it stand up well enough on its own?

I am obsessed with this show.
Perhaps because it is so very good, or because I am personally so very dark and jaded⌠or maybe because, quite ironically, itâs now my responsibility to process the Accidental Death insurance policy applications at my job.

Animated swirly warning. Of the best kind! If youâre into it. If falling forever into her eyes in a hypnotized trance is your thing. Fortunately the shades pic breaks up the sequence a little.

I never saw Titans.
Like I said, this is DCâs version of Legion, or maybe a live-action Drawn Together.

I process peopleâs applications to get insured, not any benefits paid out.

Oh. Not claims then. Well, then I should probably migrate to the intoxicated thread.

Watched all the Best Picture nominees for Oscar in a 24-hour marathon. Then, I watched the Oscars.
I can only think that Green Book won because people were split in catergories like Black Panther and BlacKkKlansman or they were afraid of controversy.
Green Book was okay but it sanded the edges off of history.
Roma did not play at the theater and I fell asleep before A Star is Born.
In order of personal preference of movies I did see:
The Favorite
BlacKkKlansman
Black Panther
Vice
Bohemian Rhapsody
Green Book
In general, all the movies had solid performances.

Green Book was the movie about Jim Crow where the black actors were nominated for âsupporting rolesâ? The more I read about that one, the more problems Iâm reading about.

Green Book was cute as long as you accepted it for what it was, but I didnât think it was Best Movie material. More lighthearted feel good fare. The performances were fun. BoRap also fun and well crafted but not a best movie. The Favorite was good but I can see itâs not everyoneâs taste. I havenât seen the others but I am pro Spike Lee in all things.

Has anyone here seen BlacKKKlansman? I was all ready to see it and then a friend of a friend claimed she âscream-cried until she was too dehydrated to cryâ in the theatre. That took me aback, since most reviews said it had funny bits. Whatâs everyone elseâs take?

I give it a strong thumbs-up, but in comparison, I thought Green Book was a joke for being ridiculously servile to the white narrative of history.
The humor of Blackkklansman comes out both in the situation and the portrayals, I think. Topher Grace as David Duke is classic. Thereâs also plenty of tense moments and holding up the mirror, but what Spike Lee joint doesnât do that?
Scream-cryingâŚwhat exactly did your friend mean by that? Did she mean she cringed?

No, more like open-mouthed crying with screamy sounds. Me, Iâd leave the theatre if I was freaking out that loudly, if only for the sake of the other patrons.
Sheâs big on performative white guilt though. Iâm trying to think of a nicer way of putting that, but canât.
Thanks for the mini-review. That synchs with what Iâd expect from a Spike Lee film.

I think Iâm going to have myself a Spike Lee movie marathon pretty soon, starting with Sheâs Gotta Have It.
