OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH Taika Waititi as Edward βBlackbeardβ Teach
i knew seeing Taika's name that these performative shit for brains would come for him. so predictable. it's almost as if people can get educated and change their minds!!!! what a concept!!!!!
where's this energy for the white names on this list that also signed the same letter? oh right, if Taika were white y'all would praise him for finally being on the right side of history but since he's brown i guess he's not ever allowed to be forgiven for signing a letter that isn't even zionist
oh and as a Pedro fan y'all are hilarious. let's conveniently forget the fact that he did the stupid ass imagine video, worked with Gal Gadot, and that s2 of tlou is zionist propaganda. the double standards here are WILD
It wasnβt even a pro-Israel letter! It was a βthanks for helping the hostagesβ letter at a time when LITERALLY everyone was condemning the taking of hostages. For fuckβs sake.
Also, whatβs the one he has now signed?

Itβs kinda nice to take a load off. Just to beβ¦ Edward. I donβt know if I wanna go back to the old days. Just drinking all day, and biting the heads off turtles, or making some poor bloke eat his own toes as a laugh. Suppose what Iβm saying is that, right now, I just wanna do what makes Ed happy.
'Brother in arms' oh they were in each other's arms alright
Edward Teach (S02E01 - Impossible Birds)
Went to see a new hairdresser today, and it's a long story how we got there, but SHE asked ME if I had seen Our Flag Means Death
And like
[nervous laugh]
I think I said something about "quite a few times"
And then SHE went off about how hot Taika is, and the leather pants, and I'm just nodding along like "yup sure totally, I have definitely not written porn about this character/guy" π
It was great, and also the haircut was fantastic
Oh yeah, the guy who plays Blackbeard right? (Sweats nervously) whatβs his last name again? Yeah, yeah, Iβve seen him in other stuff too, (starts hiccupping uncontrollably for no reason). Heβs pretty handsome, yeah.β¦heh heh hmmmmβ¦.
Pinterest knows what itβs doingπ

Are you braced for it happening again: isnβt Steven Spielberg involved in making a movie of James?
Spielberg is producing James. And right now Iβm working with Taika Waititi [Jojo Rabbit and What We Do in the Shadows] as the possible director. And theyβre both great. I did tell Spielberg that I was hoping to work with someone slightly more established, but Iβd go with a novice.
Is your screenplay quite faithful to the book?
Who knows how itβs actually going to work. Waititiβs got a wonderful sense of irony and a craziness that Iβm drawn to. And Spielbergβs really smart, earnest, and I think a genuinely good person. Maybe Steven alone would be too earnest for me, and Waititi might be too crazy for me, but together they seem a perfect match.
Percival Everett is the worldβs most interesting man. Iβm so happy heβs working with Taika.
This made my heart happy to hear Madeleine talk about Taika so positively. π₯Ήπ₯°
