Constantly thinking about this scene in the script:



BOYFRIEND: Do you know who the fuck I am?

ALYSSA: Please don't. Please don't do this

THE BOY: Nah, man. I don't know who you are

BOYFRIEND (CONT'D, scream): WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY! (silence) I. Wrote. That. That's my shit. I'm the nigga dressed like a fox. That's all me

THE BOY: What?



The boyfriend starts making the noises a fox makes in the song



BOYFRIEND: That!

ALYSSA (resigned, to The Boy): Like the song and video

THE BOY: I've never heard of it

ALYSSA AND BOYFIREND: What/wha?

ALYSSA: I thought you "were the internet"?

THE BOY: That's a tagline. No one is the actual internet. I just must've missed it when it was popular

BOYFRIEND: Uh, by "when it was popular" do you mean, uhhh, RIGHT THE FUCK NOW?!

THE BOY: Relax

BOYFRIEND: Two hundred and twenty million views on Youtube. Two hundred and twenty million. That's most of the earth

THE BOY: Not true

BOYFRIEND: An African village wrote to me-

THE BOY: The whole village did?

BOYFRIEND: -and told me that my song taught them about foxes. They don't have foxes there. I introduced the idea of a fox to an entire continent...(then) And you wanna fuck my girl?



Silence

THE BOY: I do not wanna fuck your girl. I don't want to be here. I am going home now

amazing scene yes...really speaks a lot to the current state of the internet as well

Album Rating: 5.0

here's my favorite:



DUDE 2

Toss me your wallet.

This is bad. The Boy tosses the wallet. Dude 2 looks

through it.

THE BOY

Can I drown?

Dude 2 looks up.

THE BOY (CONT’D)

I just want to die how I want.

There’s a pool out there. You’re

supposed to get this wave of

euphoria when you drown. Supposed

to be good.

Dude 2 stares.

THE BOY (CONT’D)

I could just float there. They’d

find me.

Dude 2 starts to walks over...

(Does it change anything when you’re aware of your last

thoughts?)

Actually yeah I think about the ending a lot too. I was really impressed at how the writing painted those scenes so well

Album Rating: 5.0

ending is perfect.

The Boy looks to the pool in the backyard and sees his own body floating lifeless.

Eyes wide, bubbles clinging to his face. Orange, yellow, and brown leaves float above him. His left shoe floating far ahead, probably from struggling at some point. Next to the pool, Naomi and Steve stand over him. Neither is crying or really seem too upset. They just look on as if the movie they were watching took an abrupt turn and they’re mildly interested rather than satisfied.

It looks peaceful. Fitting. He’d like to go out like that.

Redbone suddenly had a boost in the charts

Album Rating: 5.0

bad rating^

and yeah people are late to the game

Album Rating: 3.0

The fact that a song like Redbone even charted is kinda cool



It's sorta the Kendrick thing: both had a lot of success on their first major label album, both were coming up on being household names by the time they went decidedly non-commercial, and despite that, still had slightly more success than their previous album due to momentum and hype



And just like Kendrick, I bet if Gambino went back to doing pop bangers, he would be enormous

Album Rating: 5.0

Agreed. Definitely doesn't sound like something you'd hear on the radio these days, but whenever it comes on I crank that shit to 10.

Album Rating: 4.5

I honestly think Donald is the type to never rap again just because people gave him shit for it.

Similar to how people mocked him for smiling on a magazine cover (can't remember which), and then he never smiled in public again.

Album Rating: 4.5

"During his set at Governors Ball Music Festival last night, Glover hinted that the next Childish Gambino album would be his last. “You’re in my heart,” he said. “I’ll see you for the last Gambino album.”"

Album Rating: 5.0

so there's one more???

Album Rating: 5.0

I sure hope he doesn't stop make music. But If he were to quit I need at least one more album.

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah I guess that's what it means, one more. Though we should take these stage proclamations with a grain of salt - maybe there will be 5 more. Maybe 0 more.
