I need to find a way to receive updates from accounts on this site without actually being on the site. Help me with this. I can't in good conscience be on here with AI tweeting out rape fantasies, bots with verification reposting slop, and consistent non-generative discourse.

Now of course, the "manic pixie dream girl" can be a problematic trope and Angela serves as that here. But I think the fascinating thing about Boomerang is that it paints Marcus's Black corporate world as soulless. Angela is a symbol of a genuine spirit outside of it.

When discarded by his boss after their flings, just as he has done with women in the past, he becomes emotionally withdrawn and unable to work. until he engages w/ Angela, who works with kids in the community and doesn't really care about power in the corporate atmosphere.

Marcus is a womanizer, a man who has used women and discarded women for sex. AND he was only valued for his sexual prowess by powerful women, and it's implied that's how he ascended the corporate ladder.

A low-key anti-capitalist film, but it's hard to see beyond the Black excellence on display.

The George Zimmerman verdict was delivered when influencer culture was still in its infancy. Now? You have many content creators, influencers, and the like eating off of courtroom watching and discourse. There are people literally engagement-baiting. It's pretty dystopic.

I stopped watching and keeping up with high-profile and televised court cases in my personal life after Trayvon Martin's murder. It's out of my hands, out of my control, and I receive no satisfaction from the theater or discourse of it all. Justice is deeper than courts to me.
