Yes, I know!
“Shaft” (2019) was released weeks ago – June 14 to be exact – and it’s not even playing in local theaters anymore. And to make matters worse, a few weeks ago, in rationalizing why I opted to see “Men in Black: International” and “Rocketman” instead, I made what some might call “disparaging” comments about it.
I wrote: “I didn’t even waste time with ‘Shaft’ – officially ‘Shaft (2019)’, so as not to be confused with its prequel ‘Shaft (2000)’, which was a sequel to ‘Shaft (1971)’ [or is it a sequel to that film’s sequels ‘Shaft’s Big Score!’ (1972) and ‘Shaft in Africa’ (1973)? – Ah, the Sweet Mysteries of Life!])”
