Hello, movie friends. Like many of you, I've been getting through this pandemic time by watching movies at home, by myself and with friends on Zoom, inventing new ways to connect, to grieve, to hope, all through the simple act of watching stories unfold on our screens.

I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field and don't notice it.

You're saying it just want to be loved like a say in the Bible?

Yeah, Seeley.

Everything want to be loved.

Us sang and dance and holler.

Just trying to be loved.

I wish that you liked me.

Of course I love you.

But do you like me?

I want you to be the very best version of yourself that you can be.

What if this is the best version?

You know, I just don't think I've ever given me a chance to be me.

But, of course, interestingly, the exact same moment that I achieved what will probably prove to be my life's work,

that's the moment when I started being the real me finally.

Aren't you embarrassed?

Of what?

Look at you. You look awful.

Mama, I happen to like myself.

Right on, sister.

He too.

The two of you should lose weight.
