  • watching The Dark Knight, Lost in Translation, The Matrix, and (500) Days of Summer for the first time
  • trucker hats – I still have my Von Dutch hat, don’t judge me
  • anything Twilight
  • Hurricane Katrina – the devastation it brought and when Kanye West said, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.”
  • when Barack Obama became president
  • Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars

    Justin Timberlake is seemingly bulletproof. Everybody remembers that Janet Jackson fiasco during the Super Bowl halftime show, but they don’t remember that Justin Timberlake is actually the one who tore that section off of her shirt.

    Britney Spears, unfortunately has a lot of mental health issues that she’s dealing with. It’s shocking that somebody with her money can’t get the help that she needs and the rest of us are just watching the Trainwreck unfold.

    As big as all the Marvel movies were, I don’t think anybody was prepared for the cultural impact that the first Black Panther film had. All the stuff you listed are moments that I absolutely remember, but teaching in an inner city school when Black Panther was released, i wasn’t fully prepared for the impact that tje movie would have.

      tbh i can’t stand JT. omg yes, Black Panther!! that movie is iconic, RIP Chadwick

        Yeah, I lost a lot of respect for JT after “nipple gate“ and the way that he unleashed that phrase “wardrobe malfunction“ upon the world. And the way that he was directly involved in that and got zero vitriol whatsoever.

        Yeah, Black Panther wasn’t my favorite Marvel movie. It wasn’t even the best comic book movie that came out that year, but I can absolutely appreciate what a cultural touchstone that movie became.

        I remember the first time I saw Chad with Bozeman in a movie was “42” where you played Jackie Robinson. I wanted that movie to be so big. Because Jackie Robinson is my all-time favorite baseball story. Totally any of us had any idea how big Black Panther was going to be.

    Kind of a generational jump here but I remember the 1973 Oscars when Marlon Brando sent Sacheen Littlefeather in his place to decline his award for best actor because he was protesting the portrayal of Native Americans in film. After the first few words of her short speech a good portion of the audience booed her and she was later mocked by other actors. That’s a moment I’ve always remembered because it made me realize how messed up and cruel people, people who we were brought up to admire because of the characters they portrayed in the movies we loved, are. And then Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995.
