knights can be created by other knights like vampires except instead of biting them they wack them on the shoulders with swords

I found an interview with Ryan Coogler and Ludwig Goransson talking about the music of Sinners, and there's a very touching part about how the mid-credits scene came to be. So, spoilers below:

The final scene in the film, technically a post-credits scene, was actually the first one shot chronologically. Coogler wanted to show a more recent link to the story’s century-old events, and he really wanted his uncle’s favorite blues musician, Buddy Guy, to be involved. But he quickly learned that Guy, now in his late 80s, hadn’t been to a theater since the “fish movie,” a.k.a. “Jaws,” and he despaired of his chances. Still, he arranged to go see Guy play in Chicago. “I get to the show,” says Coogler, “and his whole family is in the backstage room — his grandkids. And they’re like, ‘Oh, cool, we’re going to bring you to see our grandpa.’ And me and Zinzi go in there and sit down, and he’s like, ‘Yo, man.’” “I’m not a movie guy,” the bluesman said, in Coogler’s retelling of this momentous meeting, “but my kids love your movies and they tell me that I gotta meet with you. So I’m here — whatever you need. You want me to sing? I’ll sing. You want me to act? I’m on for the work. But I got you.” “I pitched him what the movie was,” Coogler continues, “and he told me his life story about being a sharecropper as a kid and going up to Chicago and trying to learn how to play. I broke down crying, because everything I had just written in the script, this dude lived.” “Outside of the supernatural stuff,” Coogler clarifies.

Ya know I'm starting to think RFK Jr. does not actually know what autism is

People in the White Lotus tag turning into lawyers trying to put the blame on the drugs or the older brother or the parents or the younger brother -

Y'all are just looking for a scapegoat because you're looking at incest and finding it uncomfortable. And that's the point. It's ABOUT the uncertainty, it's about "what factors contributed to this?" and not being able to come up with a definitive answer. And what it's really about, and what the show is about, is that you see yourself in these characters and somewhat understand and can even relate to their desires because who doesn't fantasize about the taboo (not necessarily incest but you get the point) and that makes you uncomfortable.

This show was written to make you uncomfortable by showing you the flaws humans can have. And often these flaws are related to desire and that makes us uncomfortable. "We're not supposed to want this" etc.

Stop defending them in court, they're you

it disturbs me that a significant number of people think that the issue with sexual violence, gendered violence, and misogyny is sexual desire rather than dehumanization, so they are relentlessly suspicious of others' (and their own) desires while simultaneously never at all interrogating others' (and their own) dehumanizing beliefs about other people, both within and outside of sexual contexts
