I'm not a huge Spike Lee fan. But I am a huge fan of Aristophanes. And the trailer looks on fucking point.tragabigzanda wrote:My suspicion is that this one is for the Spike Lee fans, but not for everybody else. But yea, it looks bonkers, which is where Lee usually thrives.durdencommatyler wrote:Guys, I wanna see Chi-Raq sooooooooooooo badly. I can't even wait. Looks so wonderful.
Jennifer Hudson is a dumpster fire of an actress. This trailer is the only thing I've ever seen where she looks even remotely believable as a person. And she looks GREAT. If Spike Lee figured out how to teach Jennifer Hudson how to act, then that should be his legacy. He deserves every award imaginable.

I have little doubt that Chi-raq will be unwatchable.

I'll never be able to pin him down. And that's a-okay, by me. To each their own. But I'm pretty excited about Chi-Raq.

Did you see Da Sweet Blood of Jesus? Yikes. I couldn't even finish it. But I didn't like Ganja & Hess either, so that probably didn't help.
