xavier smalls played his role as “angel” in “beauty in black” well because…

i HATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTED his character.

like,
with every fiber of my being.
is it me or are all the characters on that show annoying AF?
so “angel” was a stripping baby daddy who would do sumin’ strange for a little change.
if he was an attentionisto IRL:

he would be the type that was straight but on the low,
you could get more out of him for the right amount of money.
this just means some muscle worship and light touching.
absolutely no sex or oral in the champagne room.

angel would be the type that would agree to “gay for pay”,
but if he knows you got that kind of income,
he would probably try to rob you too.
that is where i had a problem with angel…

one of my biggest regrets is not seeing “sinners” when it was in theaters.
i missed an important cultural moment due to finances.
i feel the same about not seeing “weapons” either.
“sinners” was sooooooooooooooo good:

i think i’ve seen that movie over 20 times now.

…and every single time i watched it,
i saw or heard something new even if it was minor.
that being fonted…

did the Foxhole tune into the “state of the union address” last night?
so my thoughts?…

before we get into ^this…

i really hate when shows decided to announce,
“we are ending!“,
and it feels like a mistake.
with “tell me lies” on hulu,
it felt like a mistake and they needed one more season to tie up loose ends.
how many shows don’t tie up loose ends before they end?
nothing worse than introducing new characters with wasted potential.

…but this isn’t a rant about series finales and new characters tho.
this is about evan from “tell me lies“,
played by branden cook,
and how ima miss that bawdy of his…

millennials are now getting the horrors of the behind-the-scenes shenanigans behind the shows we grew up watching.
what a time to be alive!
/s

there are gonna be future generations watching the 20s and shaking their heads too.
influencers?
this political climate?
music for the drug addicted and suicidal?

there was a time when we watched america’s next top model as pure entertainment.
we laughed.
we quoted it.
we argued about winners like it was the super bowl.
so many iconic memes and gifs came from that show like:

we didn’t question the cruelty because we were focused on being entertained.
did we really believe those vixens would become top models?
we sure did,
the same way we believed other shows would create idols,
survivors,
and millionaires.
watching “reality check: inside america’s next top model” on netflix felt like…

“i’m not an idiot, henry.
you told me that you sucked that guy’s dick at Winchester!” – yasmin

“darling,
that was school, okay?
it’s basically prison.
everyone gets a pass for that.
you can be a homo at school.” – jon snow

so i loveeeeeeeeeeeee “industry” on HBO max.
i didn’t get into “succession” but i got into this heavy.
i love how every season of that show continues to become massive.
the show started off about the finance industry,
and i didn’t know wtf they were talmbout those first 2 seasons,
but it has become much more than that as this story progresses.
many are upset the anti-hero is a black vixen so that makes me support more.
last sunday’s episode was titled,
“oh henry“,
and one of the characters got exposed in a way that got me thinking.

they were on top of the world,
making money with their new company,
but had to resign after being blackmailed with a secret sex video.

not only a secret sex video,
but a secret sex video with someone underage.
the blackmailers sent the video to their email to get them in line.
so this is what has been sitting on my mind heavy.
hypothetically fonting on this fine tuesday…
