THE HEAVENS—In a statement addressed to individuals at risk of having their access to life on earth permanently revoked, God, the Almighty Creator, confirmed Monday that He would soon delete millions of humans due to inactivity. “To my dear creations, per My all-seeing eye, you have not been an active participant in the human race since Feb. 5, 2015,” a voice from on high bellowed to Justin Buller, 35, of Nashua, NH, one of an estimated 700 million people who received similar messages, which cited a service agreement for use of the planet under which the Lord God is said to retain the right to delete any and all of His creations who fail to do anything of value with their lives. “If you wish to continue living on your current plane of existence, please drop to your knees and pray to the heavens within the next 30 days; otherwise, your body, mind, and soul will be removed from the cosmos for all time. And since you haven’t done anything with your life, no evidence you once lived will remain behind when you’re gone. This is your final warning. You will not be able to recover your place on earth once the grace period has expired.” At press time, God had sent numerous blights, plagues, and floods to free up extra space in the universe.

5 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.

3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”

5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died.

Mauritanian French director Med Hondo’s West Indies: The Fugitive Slaves of Liberty proved a watershed event for African cinema—the continent’s first musical as well as a sui generis amalgam of historical epic, Broadway revue, Brechtian theater, and joyous agitprop. Using an enormous mock slave ship as the film’s only soundstage, Hondo mounts intricately choreographed reenactments and dance numbers across his multipurpose set to investigate more than three centuries of imperialist oppression. The story traverses the West Indies, Europe, and the Middle Passage; jumps across time to depict the effects of official French policy upon the colonized, the enslaved, and their descendants; and surveys the actions and motivations of the resigned, the revolutionary, and the powers that be (along with their lackeys). No mere extravaganza, West Indies is a call to arms for a spectacular yet critical cinematic reimagining of an entire people’s history of resistance and struggle.

Since this is a Janus Films release it probably means we're getting a Criterion edition - they've also published his debut Soleil O. Strongly recommended.
