Bob Strauss @bscritic Like the more serious Romanian films it sometimes satirizes, #TwoLotteryTickets is about three sad men meeting quirky characters as their search for a missing, winning ticket grows increasingly quixotic. Society remains hopeless. 3:42 PM · May 21, 2021·Twitter Web App

Bob Strauss @bscritic #MichelFranco's #neworder is a take-no-prisoners (metaphorically; captives are actually taken in the movie) Mexican class war bloodbath, as scabrous and unforgiving as a hopelessly unfair society can appear.

Bob Strauss @bscritic Australian Outback murder mystery #TheDry is bit too convoluted and symbolic.

Bob Strauss @bscritic #AppleTV+'s docuseries "1971: #TheYearThatMusicChangedEverything" is high-grade #Boomer nostalgia, but also excellent cultural history with loads of unseen-before footage.

Paul Mooney, the pioneer Black comedian and writer known for his outspokeness and collaborations with Richard Pryor and Dave Chapelle, died Wednesday. He was 79 years old. His publicist, Cassandra Williams, said he died from a heart attack at his home in Oakland, California. Known for his fearlessness in discussing racial topics and pushing comic boundaries, he was called "The Godfather of Comedy." Mooney was credited with writing the infamous 1975 "Saturday Night Live" word association test sketch in which guest-host Pryor's character was interviewed for a janitorial job by an employer (Chevy Chase). The intense session -- which included a few racial epithets -- ended with Pryor's character getting the job at a high salary. Mooney said he was inspired to write the piece after he was interviewed for a writing job by SNL creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels. In the fall of 1977, Mooney was a writer for NBC's short-lived comedy series "The Richard Pryor Show." Robin Williams (pictured below with Pryor) was a member of the cast. The controversial program was canceled after four episodes, partly because of Pryor's battles with the network's censors. It also aired on Tuesday nights opposite ABC's one-two punch: "Happy Days" and "Laverne and Shirley." Mooney appeared as the soul singer Sam Cooke in "The Buddy Holly Story," the 1978 biopic for which Gary Busey received a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his earnest portrayal of the 1950s rock 'n' roll pioneer whose meteoric rise ended in sudden tragedy. In Robert Townsend's acclaimed 1987 satire "The Hollywood Shuffle," Mooney played an NAACP official whose organization launches a protest against a Black actor (Townsend) for accepting demeaning roles. During his stint as a writer for the 1990s FOX sketch comedy series "In Living Color," Mooney served as the inspiration for one of the show's most popular characters. Mooney was known for responding "Aw no, homey!" when writers pitched ideas for sketches. Series regular Damon Wayons began wondering "What if Paul were a clown?" -- and went on to create the no-nonsense character Homey D. Clown. In Spike Lee's 2000 screen satire "Bamboozled," Mooney played a fictionalized version of himself -- a brilliant, uncompromising Black stand-up comic who never became a Hollywood sensation. In 2003 and 2004, Mooney made appearances on Comedy Central's "Chappelle's Show" as Negrodamus, a contemporary Black version of the 16th-century French seer Nostradamus. Mooney also served as a writer for the hit series. Ava DuVernay @ava Paul Mooney. A comedy giant. I recall listening to his RACE album in college and how formative it was. Yeah, the jokes. But more so, the freedom. He spoke freely and fearlessly about feelings and experiences others found difficult to express. May he be truly free now. Rest, sir. 11:30 AM · May 19, 2021·Twitter for iPhone Robert Townsend @Robert_Townsend Rest in peace Mr. Paul Mooney the #fearless king of Comedy...you always spoke unfiltered truth… always made time to share your knowledge… your edgy comedy Voice will live on... God bless your soul. 1:00 PM · May 19, 2021·Twitter for iPhone Laraine Newman @larainenewman Nooooooo! The beautiful, profound, deeply funny and brilliant Paul Mooney has passed away. God!! I first met Paul at The Comedy Store when I was 19. He was always so lovely to me and I eventually got to work with him on SNL. ****! This hurts so bad. 2:05 PM · May 19, 2021·Twitter for iPhone
