@1: Because I just read it.

Your own words are why I think you're a traitor, not your lack of Afrocentrism.

WHAT THEE HELL

@5: I know, man.

@7: No, re-posting your commentary was my way of answering your assertion that I thought you were a traitor (your term, not mine, but it will do) because you are not Afrocentric. This is not the case at all- neither I am for that matter. I think you're a traitor because you have proudly and unabashedly stated that you are a traitor. I hadn't commented on Mudede's article because not only had I just finished reading it, I hadn't seen the film. Even if I had, my commenting or not commenting on one piece from one black author is hardly indicative of support (or a lack thereof) from all black Stranger participants. I believe I am allowed to have interests in reading that fall outside of black culture and still support it (the same goes for gay culture).

P.S.

If you feel a verbatim reprint of your own words is an attack, perhaps it's time to reconsider your position.

@10:

1. YOU said I attacked you @7.
2. I don't anything about the film either. That's why I read the article (it seemed interesting) and also why, had you not called me out, I wouldn't have commented.
3. It is not dependency to join a conversation. It's a conversation, which I have always thought healthier than separatism.

@10: You do know that Time Keck is straight, right?

If you hadn't written this, I doubt I would've been aware of this movie. Saw it last night, and was touched by it more deeply than any movie in the last several years. Thank you.

@14: Tim (not Time) Keck is the founder of the Stranger.

So I just saw this movie.

I thought it was a great experiment in style and structure, with quite a few transcendent moments. Unfortunately, I don't think riffing on an ultra-thin storyline about a dude falling in love with a woman, and getting (by his own admission) friendzoned, was enough to sustain a feature length film.

There were some great visuals, and I kind of wish Nance had given his animation and original footage some space to breathe and let them tell the story instead of drowning them in overwrought narration.

I get the feeling Nance has a great film in him somewhere, but this isn't it.
