“Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists
who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up
your most precious treasures
to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask
to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself
and those you love
into slavery.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents, 1998

Reminder: Neptune Frost is eligible for the #HugoAward next year.

It's an excellent Afrofuturist musical about labour rights, about systems of oppression, & about gender.

And it has an epic soundtrack.

If you care about SFF cinema as a distinct artform, and you vote on the Hugos, please give Neptune Frost a chance.
