Seethe, chud >Despite the largely positive view of Presley held by African Americans, a rumor spread in mid-1957 that he had at some point announced, "The only thing Black folks can do for me is buy my records and shine my shoes."

I dunno, it just looks really flashy and playing up how iconoclastic he was at the time. I’m not really interested in an Elvis movie that isn’t at least a little over the top, ya know? If it was a real documentary or something it would be different but a movie like this should be a little indulgent.
among my late father's possessions was an unopened sealed elvis monopoly collector's edition game. should I sell try selling it now or do you think it will appreciate in value? all the boomers who love elvis are dying and I can't see any zoomzooms growing to love elvis or physical board games in the future
Good question. I'd say hold onto it unless you're getting some huge sum like hundreds of thousands or more. If you're getting like 10k frick that not worth it.

quick research and they're going for $100 at the high end but much less than that generally.
Not worth selling it. Even if it never moons in value just keep it or give it to someone else.
I just hope they don't try and push the bullshit about him """stealing"""" black music. He grew up around it and wanted to do music like that. It's like saying Eminem tried to steal rap. He grew up around rap and wanted to make it. It's literally that simple. >"Ooooh but he got away with stuff black people couldn't!"
No shit. He was white in the mid 1900s. Frick off lol not his fault.
Sound makes it even more kino
I thought he was gonna say it
>"Black folk invented music, kill white people, trans kids, yadda yadda"
Not at all, OP.

white people invented fricking music and instruments itself no idea wtf you're talking about
is it true that Elvis was just a psyop?
I could see it for the Beatles, it seems more obvious there, but Elvis too?
I feel like it will actually be a good movie however you just know the general feeling of
Will be present and ruin it

>Buz Luhrman
pass
number 2 LOOK OUT MAN
Is that actor israeli? I wanna know if I’m upset or not.
He's white
I will now watch your israelitelywood production
>"hey, wait, I recognize the face, what did I see him in"
>he's the DJ assassin from Arrow who was only in 3 episodes
that's hilarious
good for him
>Finnish
I shan't be watching
Cautiously so
I mean I don’t like the director but the wizards who make trailers that turn shit to gold are playing with my heart again.
I didn't see anything remarkable about the trailer. It made me less likely to want to watch the movie, actually.

Racist the sucker was simple and plain, motherfrick him and Marlon Waynes.
It's really ironic how some darkies hate Elvis even though he was one of the least racist artists of his time
>"The only thing a Black woman/Black man/a Black person can do for me is buy my records and shine my shoes." - Elvis Presley
It's most likely bullshit.
>that only came from ignorant
the opposite, actually.
found the hillbilly
So Elvis really was based

SELL SELL SELL
It would look like a 10/10 if Hanks wasn't in it.
this
i don't hate t. hanks but he makes the movie look bland and generic
honestly yes, I've seen the trailer like 5 times now and Baz Luhrmann is based so might be good
Looks like yet another musical biopic with inflated self importance and poor imitations.
>behind every great white man, there's a sassy black woman educating them....
...cuz that's is how accurate history is...
>not idris elba
pass
He looks nothing like Elvis.
This
Surely you can find better Elvis impersonators?
>Surely you can find better Elvis impersonators?
yeah, you can, but they can't act.
Elvis looks nothing like Elivs. Think about it.
nobody does really. the guy was uniquely handsome.
>half the trailer is about black people
How they got the cast so wrong bros?
most punchable face in hollywood
Cringe. He was awesome in Maverick
he's a fricking israelite
Can he sing?
Who knows. Marion Cotillard didn't sing for the role of Edith Piaf and she got the Oscar.
Yes indeed. The actor looks the part, and it's a fricking Baz movie. Entertainment is a guarantee.
I just hope they don't try and push the bullshit about him """stealing"""" black music. He grew up around it and wanted to do music like that. It's like saying Eminem tried to steal rap. He grew up around rap and wanted to make it. It's literally that simple.

Elvis is dead
Elvis is everywhere anon
Probably going to take my grandma.
