(no subject)

 so normally I’m not one for crowded theaters and big opening weekend events

normally if it’s something I just have to see in the first week I try to catch like an early Wednesday matinee where there’s a lot of space in the theater and not too much audience noise

but let me tell you

there was something magical about that crowd

late afternoon on the Sunday of opening weekend for Black Panther

northeast Philly suburbs so the audience is like 80-90% black

we’re packed in like sardines and we’re all super excited

and just the Power of that laughter when anyone on screen makes a White People joke

I could feel how much it all meant to them, the jokes and the serious bits too where everyone was dead silent

it was pretty amazing and I was glad to be there.
