#sorrytobotheryou — Public Fediverse posts

“Every aspect of mundane life is seemingly exaggerated in Riley's surrealist style: colours are brighter, sex is weirder, music is louder and antagonists are more conniving.”

An underrated showpiece by Marxist writer, director Boots Riley. In #Ottawa at the Mayfair Theatre for only 3 nights, we highly recommend I Love Boosters!

Watched #ILoveBoosters and it was insane omg. 😂 I was loling irl. With #SorryToBotherYou, I’m a Virgo, and now this, #BootsRiley is 3-for-3 for me. Also, I was the only one in the #theater. 😭 Come for the WOC-led #heist, stay for the #Chinese factory worker storyline, teleportation(!) shenanigans, #revolutionary #politics (of course), and [redacted]!!

INT. CHINATOWN

I'm watching two episodes at a time, which is my usual limit, but it's very difficult to not plow through them all.

It's also Twilight Zone meets Sorry to Bother You; a tv show that feels extremely familiar and unlike anything else, all at once.

The production is fantastic; grounded and surreal, using the procedural format to mock and deconstruct the foundation of nearly every tv drama, across genres.

What is going on in WA? This sounds a lot like the “WorryFree” corporation from ‘Sorry to Bother You’, the Boots Riley horror comedy. The workers might want to read their contracts closely.

“When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time.”

“We’ve got a restaurant in there, we’ve also got a gym, and we’ve got other facilities that keep them glued in there.”

A crèche for kids with doctors and nurses: “we’re going to feed them, but mum and dad will be working in our office.”

#ImAVirgo, by #BootsRiley on #Amazon sounds as weird and interesting as his earlier #SorryToBotherYou and is apparently another commentary on the condition of the average working person, along with #race, and #revolution.

Sadly, it'll be a while before I can watch it because I canceled #Prime at the end of last year and have zero plans to ever rejoin.

https://www.wired.com/story/boots-riley-im-a-virgo-interview/

Lovely "blink and you'll miss it" moment in #SorryToBotherYou movie where the #AdBusters style defacement of one of the corporate slavery adverts gets appropriated as art in the CEO's mansion.

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend #SorryToBotherYou, 2018, #DirectedBy #BootsRiley.

If its commentary on #race, #capitalism, #art, and, presciently, #unions and #WorkerRights don't hook you, then seeing #ArmieHammer play what we now know is a fairly true-to-life version of himself might be what you need to be convinced (#NiggaShit).

Too bad #Boots' new show is going to #AmazonPrime, but I hope his projects do well.

Boots Riley has a new movie out and it's available via streaming!

Bound to be just as fabulous as his other work.

#ImAVirgo is exactly the kind of show you'd expect if you heard the guy who made #SorryToBotherYou made a series. This is impressively gonzo, and I love it. #BootsRiley

Blindspotting Season 2 starts tonight at 9PM!

This show REALLY speaks to me. East Bay urban experience, vibe of #SorryToBotherYou

Many local Oakland landmarks, inside jokes, the kind of people I've known, things I've experienced.

Must see!

If it's good, #PattonOswalt appears in it sooner or later.

I rewatched #SorryToBotherYou Tuesday night and realized I was really much too stoned the first time I saw it.

I'd forgotten all about the #WeWork / #WorryFree aspect and the #equisapiens. I even misremembered the early garage door scene as some trippy effect.

Anyway, #STBY is very good, funny, and presciently dark. Watch it when you're not too high.

I love that #BootsRiley let #DannyGlover have that line, and the reference to #Rhythm0, among many other things that should make us all think.

How did I never hear about these guys before? This is funky as hell. I did watch the movie Boots directed, #SorryToBotherYou, #TheCoup, #HipHop, #Oakland
