The Deliverance: POOR GLENN CLOSE.....NOT SMELLING THE COOTIE CAT!!!

Introduction So, I am just hopping in with some really, really brief thoughts on The Deliverance, directed by Lee Daniels. If you are familiar with  that name, then you know that no matter what he does, even  with the best of intentions, I guess..... There will always be some element  of tomfoolery and hood-boogery, and just shenanigans overall. There's so much to be said about The Deliverance, and you may feel free to check out on my channel the livestream I just did with some of my wonderful co-hosts and great  content creators on the platform. Please feel free to check out the  discussion because we had a lot to say. I'm really not here for the  "Precious Horror Cinematic Universe." Like, I don't know. I don't.....I don't know if that's what he's trying to establish  here, but I'm not interested. I'm really not. But I just wanted to discuss one specific thing, because there is a scene in this film that is going viral for all  the wrong reasons, of course. And I am just curious. A Hot Mess! I can smell ya nappy *Meow*! I was at a loss for words. Oh, HELL no! Please be gone! I just have so many questions. 1 For instance, #1: There are two  writers that wrote this film. One is David Coggeshall, and  the other is Elijah Bynum. One of them is White, and the  other one is either biracial or light-skinned and black. Which one of them wrote this line? I want to know. I'll probably never know, but I'm  just—let me find out that..... I have a sinking feeling  about the answer to this one, and I'm not sure which answer would be worse when it comes down to it. 2 #2: Who looked at a eight-time  Oscar nominee, Glenn Close, who has been robbed in more ways than I can count, and said, "We're going to bring this actress  on board and have her say this line"? Who made that decision? Who? #3: Why do we have Glenn Close looking like 3 Gollum from The Lord of the Rings? I was just looking around trying to figure out where the gold ring was. What's it doing? Stupid, fat hobbit! 4 Question #4: Why did my mom think that Alberta, Glenn Close's character, had  said, "She's not a happy person," and I was like, "What?" I had to run it back, and then she heard, and she almost fell out afterwards. And by extension, why did my mom think at first.... I may as well throw it in there. But why did my mom think that they had gotten, like, a white-passing biracial  woman to play the character? She was like, "Oh, that almost looks like....." She was looking, and she was like, "Oh, where did they get this lady from?" She was really thinking that it was—and listen, I've seen a few that look like  Alberta—not that many white women. But like I said, if you've  seen Keke Wyatt's mother or you've seen Kimbella's mother  from Love & Hip Hop: New York? Then yeah, they're out there. But the fact that my mom thought that  this was an actual biracial woman? I don't know if that's a credit  to the makeup department, maybe to Glenn Close's acting, maybe not so much, but I just wanted to ask that question as well because my mother's a trip. So, I figured why not add this  question in there as well. Why, Ma? Why? 5 And #5 is pertaining to the statement itself. Why has it got to be nappy?  How do you know it's nappy? Because she's Black? How can you  smell it? Why can you smell it? Can you really smell it,  or are you just saying that to be a messy, shady demon? Look, I don't know anything about demonology, how demons work to that extent, and definitely not in the way  that it plays into this film because, you know, I don't really  have time for those games personally. But I'm just like..... Like how? Just....and the high-pitched  voice was just the cherry on top. I'm just like, honestly, there are no words. But I will close this out by saying this: Lee Daniels, you will pay for your crimes. So, what's your sentence for her? Electric chair! [ __ ] Gawdamn it. Electrocute that [ __ ], and I want you to pour some water on her first.
