I Want Kathy Bates to Play Me

November 10, 2024 

 

Sometimes I'll wander into a high-end store to look at their overpriced crap and see what the fuss is about. Even though I'm respectably dressed (but not dressed like I typically buy something there, I'll admit), I get followed by security. 

 

I have friends who dress better, but are Black, so they get followed in stores, too. So I've come up with the ideal heist film: 

Security focuses on the Black woman with impeccable credentials, while her blonde accomplice, who is wandering around unmolested, is robbing the place blind. The gang alternates with using the plainly-dressed woman, whom security will follow, while a better-dressed woman pulls the heist. 

 

If I can't get a cameo in the movie, I want Kathy Bates to play me.
