positive · AI labelView post →Just saw "I Love Boosters." As usual @bootsriley.bsky.social managed to be twenty thousand times weirder than I expected. And the movie made me cry with joy at the end. Get your ass to the theater now and see this chaotic beautiful masterpiece.
positive · AI labelView post →I reviewed I LOVE BOOSTERS, which like most of director Boots Riley's work is beautiful, insightful, and didactic to a fault. A movie that looks right at the camera and tells you it's the exact type of communist you are. www.patreon.com/scumbelievab...

The activist and director of the new hit film “I Love Boosters” was in São Paulo and sat down with Payday Report to discuss the lessons the left can learn. A fascinating discussion about using joy and community to build power

positive · AI labelView post →Boots Riley, the visionary filmmaker behind Sorry to Bother You and creator of I’m a Virgo, returns with his latest project, I Love Boosters.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've been thinking a lot about what I like most about I Love Boosters, which is that it's far less a movie in which Boots Riley turns to the camera and says "Do communism like this!" than a movie urging us all to pick up "cameras" and redefine the world through art
positive · AI labelView post →Getting a crew together to all buy a ticket to I Love Boosters every day using Regal Pass to drive up the gross artificially. Not sure if the movie is good or not it just seems thematically resonant.

Here’s my review of the visually buoyant but narratively leaden “I Love Boosters” for @vulture.com www.vulture.com/article/revi...
negative · AI labelView post →I Love Boosters is such a fun movie. idk another movie with so many incredible costumes that get worn onscreen for all of like 5 seconds

positive · AI labelView post →🔥Still buzzing from my convo w/ Boots Riley at #Socialism2025. We talked art, communism & revolution—and he was into my book Teach Truth (even caught the “Heven Tonite” lyric I quoted). Grateful for the brilliance & the laughs. Can’t wait for his new film “I Love Boosters”! www.TeachTruthBook.com

positive · AI labelView post →It’s kind of fun to consider that I Love Boosters and Backrooms are in theaters at the same time, a movie made by a dude in his 50s that feels like a live action loony tunes cartoon, constantly thumping, loud and frantic, and a movie made by a 20 year old that moves at a near glacial pace
neutral · AI labelView post →Boots Riley is bringing his new movie I Love Boosters to SXSW and personally I am hoping that he has an even bigger hat than the one he wore at SXSW in 2023 to promote I'm A Virgo
neutral · AI labelView post →went to a screening of I Love Boosters w Boots Riley in attendance this week, spent the whole time thinking "this film is so brilliant !! what am i doing with my life? i should go to film school instead of making video essays!" and then at the Q&A Boots Riley was like "i love watching video essays."
positive · AI labelView post →At the opening night screening of his film I LOVE BOOSTERS, filmmaker Boots Riley opens the first answer of the Q&A by specifically shouting out the SIFF Cinema Workers Union(SWCU) and calling for them to get a fair contract. This comes after the SWCU say they're facing cuts to wages, hours, + more📽️

neutral · AI labelView post →Go see I LOVE BOOSTERS. Boots Riley made half of a heist movie and half of another completely different kind of movie and all of it looks like 90s Nickelodeon and THE CAT IN THE HAT (2003). Film of the year so far.

neutral · AI labelView post →I Love Boosters: Just as visionary in its own way as The Odyssey, with special effects at one point that are every bit as ‘80s B-movie gnarly as those in THAT scene in Nolan’s film. Terrific use of miniatures, too. A better world is possible. The struggle of workers is a global one. Join us.
