As you may or may not know, I don’t like movies anymore because they suck. But, I’m like obnoxiously excited about Pariah (see also: “Riese’s Team Pick: Kickstart Pariah” and Focus Features Picks Up Black Lesbian Film “Pariah,” Loves Gay People) and made a small noise of glee when I saw Focus Features has released the first trailer for the film, which was a hit at Sundance and therefore got picked up by Focus Features as aforementioned which is special because not only is it, reportedly, “wonderful” (-Rolling Stone), but also it’s a film about a masculine-of-center African-American homosexual woman, which we don’t see very often (if ever) in our Cinematic World of explosions, drunk white guys and vampires.

Also Chelsea from South of Nowhere plays a lesbian and Kim Wayans is in it too! You can read more about the film at their website.
