One of my favorite scenes in The Menu is when the chef reveals he only invited the actor because on his only day off he watched the actor's movie and it was one of the worst things he ever watched and it wasted his entire day.

I never related to a character more.

i watched elvis yesterday and loved it. amazing movie. then i read a bunch of stuff about elvis the person. he seemed like a good guy. very anti racist, always said that black people inspired him and really created the sound he became known for. man literally was forced into military service for performing and hanging out with black people. all his black contemporaries have been vocal about how cool he was and they were friends and they had no ill will because everyone always copied everyone and that his style of music was unique

then you get all these modern day black people accusing him of being a thief and not crediting black people and because of that he's trash

i just think that if every single black person of his time period said he was cool and fine then maybe fucking drop it and stop holding him, a man with very little control over his life, to today's standards

elvis his whole life: oh yeah black people absolutely inspired me and i based my sound on them, i simply lucked out being born white

black people born after elvis died: he stole from black people and never credited them!!!
