No. It had a beginning and an end and doesn’t need to be stretched any further. I would love a Choctaw vampire hunter spin-off though. It wouldn’t need to reference any of the main characters from Sinners.

Same. Would watch. 💯

Oh Annie — without question!

The word “hidden” is doing a lot of work here but yeah let’s go awf for real 🤌🏾🫶🏾🙌🏾

Someone said to me today “OMG it was such a long time ago…!” (it was 2018) and I was like … you mean the day before f**kn yesterday?????

My grandma used to always say it was “better than the alternative” when anyone would complain ;)

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

“They have been given notes on their roles, and the director wants them to sound tough, even when their words reveal that they’re terrified of things like cities and trans people and the Spanish language.”

I just … I always, like always, WANT these to be delicious but … they never … are 😢

Back in Roma I *had* to make my signature Ragù with non-toxic local ingrediente 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾

Like if it was revealed that Sam Altman is just a resurrected Clippy in a human skin suit. Be honest. Most of us would be like "hmm...that tracks"

Animal. Although … 🤔 I’d watch it.

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Ugh … dissss bish-ass owl

My daughter has Tourettes. She leaves the room when her tics become disruptive. Recently she got into a prestigious choir and started ticking after one song. She had to leave the stage and couldn’t perform the rest of the set. It was devastating This asshole stuck around. He knew what he was doing

Delroy Lindo told Vanity Fair that he and Michael B. Jordan “did what we had to do” while presenting but that he also wished “someone from BAFTA spoke to us afterward”
