Does Jordan Peele’s brilliance ever end? Nope, we don’t think so either.
The post-Thanksgiving news cycle included Trump’s tweeting Friday that he’ll be playing a quick round of golf with none other than Tiger Woods. That comment alone got the internet riled up, but also confused.
Peele had a perfect response to a story about the golf champ’s new buddy: “Now you’re in The Sunken Place,” the director tweeted along with a story about the match from the Golf Channel.
If you haven’t seen “Get Out” yet, you probably won’t get the joke, so let us explain:
In Peele’s hit movie from earlier this year, a young black man, played by Daniel Kaluuya, stumbles into a family gathering in which he’s being auctioned off (yes, eerily similar to a slave auction).
It turns out that this family, including his girlfriend (Allison Williams), with her parents and brother (Catherine Keener, Bradley Whitford and Caleb Landry Jones), routinely seduces black men and then performs brain transplants on them so that elderly or less-embodied white people can live in their bodies.
The Sunken Place is a trance-like state that Keener’s character woos Kaluuya into, and when the brain transplants are complete, that’s where the victims remain. It’s basically like floating in outer space, unable to control your body, while you watch life go on without you from afar.
Yeah, we don’t think it sounds fun, either.
See the tweets below.
After Turkey call I will be heading over to Trump National Golf Club, Jupiter, to play golf (quickly) with Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson. Then back to Mar-a-Lago for talks on bringing even more jobs and companies back to the USA!
Marvel's 'Black Panther': 15 Things We Know So Far (Photos)
We're still far off from the release of Marvel's "Black Panther," but here's what we know about the film starring Chadwick Boseman so far.
Marvel
"Black Panther" will be about T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman), who must ascend to the throne of Wakanda when his father is assassinated. The movie picks up after the events in "Captain America: Civil War," in which Boseman made his first appearance as Black Panther.

"Black Panther" will be released on February 16, 2018. Ryan Coogler is directing.

Zuri (played by Forest Whitaker) is a warrior ally of T'Challa's and was a trusted advisor to the king before he was assassinated.

Also returning to Marvel Cinematic Universe is Everett Ross, played by Martin Freeman. Ross had a role in "Captain America: Civil War." He's a the CIA director who worked to get the Avengers to sign onto the Sokovia Accords to limit their actions. At the end of that movie, he took custody of the villain Helmut Zemo (Daniel Brühl) after the Black Panther stopped him from killing himself.

Wakanda is also pretty technologically advanced, despite what the world thinks of it. For one thing, it's the only place on Earth where Vibranium is found -- the indestructible stuff that Captain America's shield is made of, and gives Black Panther's suit its bulletproof properties.
