[quote]NO MAIN BLACK CHARACTERS IN HIS MOVIES[/quote]
NO ONE CARES (except pathetic, whiney SJWs).
The OP's blurb begs the question: How come there are no main white characters in movies by some black directors? Answer: Probably because the story takes place in a primarily black setting where there are few whites, whether in the USA or abroad. I'm white, part-Abenaki, but do I care? Absolutely not. Do I feel discriminated against? It wouldn't even occur to me. Would I write the message boards of black movies and their directors decrying "RACISM"? No way. Why? Because I'm not a pathetic whiney SJW.
I just saw the film last night and was wondering about some of these same questions. Here are some possibilities:
The gang must've inspected the sacks but -- not being metallurgists -- they likely thought the contents were worthless. Being without horses, the old prospector could only take so much gold from the sacks on his walk thru the desert to the town, which he barely made it to alive. As for why he dumped the additional sacks in the river, he didn't have the time/energy (being aged) to hide these extra sacks with the understanding that he knew there was way more gold at his mine.
Your speculation about the ambush at the dilapidated mission/village is likely correct.
I'm not sure about the marshal's badge.
I thought so too, lol.
The OP has a legitimate point [b]and everyone knows it [/b], despite the other posters lambasting him/her as "CONservative" or whatever.
No one could criticize what NObama did during his 8 years without being called a "racist." Get real. It was his loony libertine non-policies that were the problem (like allowing mentally ill men to legally use the women's restroom -- rolling my eyes); and criticisms in general had nothing to do with his skin color.
Same with Michelle NObama: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, of course, and there are many attractive black, Asian and AmerIndian women out there, but I personally don't consider Michelle good-looking. To me, she looked like the Grinch with dark skin. She was usually frowning, probably because she hated America. Who knows? But, like the OP said, everyone HAD to gush about how supposedly beautiful she was -- yet not because they honestly believed it -- but because it was the politically correct thing to do. If you didn't want to commit career suicide in the media you went along with the lie.
As far as the Black Panther goes, I'm a fan going back to "Panther's Rage" in the comics. As such, I have no "racist" agenda against the film. If I were a "racist" I wouldn't even have read or collected the comics. But, as the OP points out, there's likely going to be a backlash against any legitimate criticism of the movie by non-black folk (especially white) on the grounds that they're "racist."
Needless to say, those who submit to this kind of idiocy are mindless sheeple or, if they're in the media, just want to keep their job.
No, she was way too thin and un-curvy in Scream 4.
Some notable curvy figure skaters include Emily Hughes (from the 2000s) and Rosalynn Sumners (from the 90s). By "curvy" I mean ultra-alluring, not fat.
Thanks. I haven't seen it yet.

Julie Brown was underrated. (I know she's still alive, but I mean back then when she was in her physical prime).
[quote]IS HE A RACIST JEW?! why are there zero blacks as main characters? and why are the coen brothers doing the same thing?[/quote]
Typical whiney SJW.
Whoops -- you gave it away -- you watch "gay" porn.
Yes, there are similarities to Eden Lake, but Eden Lake was better because it had a more imaginative script and far less overt implausibilities. There are also elements of Rambo 2, I Spit On Your Grave and, of course, Deliverance.
I counted FOUR times various characters turned their backs on a wounded adversary -- very eye-rolling. Needless to say, unimaginative writing.
[quote]Utterly juvenile premise results in an amateurish, silly movie[/quote]
The thing that follows the cursed people is a supernatural being -- a demon -- and therefore can change appearance at will. It likely takes on the appearance of its numerous previous victims. The reason it walks and doesn't run is because its been around for millennia and knows that it will always get more prey, plus it probably likes the cat-and-mouse game and feeds on the fear of the fleeing victim. Another possibility is that it simply can't run.
The premise isn't juvenile at all and reflects real life as the demonic curse for loose sex is akin to venereal disease, albeit spiritually rooted. It's the sex equals death motif of slasher films taken to the next level.
Yeah, whichever guy(s) she did it with in the boat was followed by the demon and died; so the thing was back to chasing her.
It probably has to be real sex to count.
Cut the bs ya whiney SJW.
The first hour of "Spartacus" is cinema at it's finest. Kirk Douglas easily carries the film with his charisma.
"Cleopatra" (1963) is just DULL, unless you like interminable (boring) talk. I admit that the last two hours of "Spartacus" aren't great by any means (like the first hour), but they're seriously compelling compared to "Cleopatra."
[quote]Wait...saying "guys" is no longer "sayable"? Then what exactly do you suggest we call, informally, a group of men and women, then?[/quote]
He was saying that it was an anachronism, meaning that the scriptwriter was applying modern verbiage to an era when it wasn't used in that manner.
[quote]No, he's not. His whole story line was how he did time. He talked about how he quit drinking after he killed his "boyfriend" in a car accident.[/quote]
Why do you put "boyfriend" in quotes? It seemed to me he meant his literal boyfriend. Like the other poster said, he was obviously queer as folk.
[quote]What was so weird about it? It was about 10 seconds of Lemont humping her in missionary. No dialogue (until afterward), when they were interrupted. I found it strange that a person would walk right into the room to interrupt them instead of knocking loudly or announcing themselves at the door. Other than that, I didn't see anything strange or hilarious.[/quote]
Yeah, it seemed like a relatively typical sexual engagement, at least for a couple doing it for the first time (together, that is). What's so "weird"?
