Who were you calling a "negro" in here? You know that's an outdated as hell phrase, right?
What the hell is that supposed to mean? You see very few American horror films with Indian main characters---so how the hell is seeing one for a change "racist"? You are literally not making any damn sense at all. Most horror films---in America--have white people as the main characters 99% of the time. That's why your little stupid comment didn't make any sense.
That's so true. If he had taken his diagnosis seriously, and caught the cancer before it spread, he'd still be here today. He died way too young.
Uh, seriously? That's not something only black men do---men of all colors and in every damn culture on earth do that. Black men are not the only men on earth who are absentee fathers, and every black man is not an absentee father, either. I hate it when people say 'Black people are this" or "Black men and women are that" when we---black people--are not a damn monolith, and we damn sure don't think with one hive mind. There are white absentee fathers and white fathers who were abusive and screwed-up af, but they don't get stigmatized the hell out of like black people do. So get off that racist bull****, please.
Seriously? Bob Marley was way more than just a "weed-reeking stoner"----just shows that you don't know jack about him---what an ignorant, and frankly stupid thing to say. Go watch the excellent 2012 documentary MARLEY---that'll tell you everything you need to know about him. You're obviously never listened to his music, either----he did a lot of very political tunes that are popular around the world---one of them, "Get Up, Stand Up" has become a major theme for activists of color everywhere. "Slave Driver" and "Buffalo Soldiers" are some really good ones. Oh, and every reggae song isn't just about smoking weed and getting high, duh. Tired of people making stupid comments about people and things they don't know s*** about.
That's good to hear. I've seen the trailer plenty of times.
Haven't seen the film yet, and I would definitely recommend the 2012 documentary Marley, because that's how great it is. That being said, it actually took 20 years for One Love to be made, so it's not a "half-assed" rush job like you claim. Plus the Marley family was involved in every aspect of it, from start to finish---at least three family members were the producers. They also had a say in who would play Bob, too. Point being, I figured the film wasn't going to be a warts-and-all treatment of Marley, so that's no big surprise. Having been a big reggae fan for some years, I'd still like to see the film, even though I already know Marley's life story. Here's an article about how the films finally got made, after many years:

Here's a really good interview with Warrior star Andrew Koji, some of the showrunners, and cast members from last summer, shortly after the 3rd season kicked off:

Good news----Warrior just started streaming on Netflix barely two days ago, and it's already become one of the top 10 currently most watched shows on there. Here's a nice little couple of reviews of it:

I don't agree with this writer's review, but it was pretty good: https://decider.com/2024/02/16/warrior-netflix-review/
Really enjoyed this series, and was hoping there would be another season on the horizon. Turns out not only was it renewed, but production of the second season started just this past fall, which is great to hear: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/lady-parts-season-2-release-044957200.html?fr=yhssrp_catchall
