Stop trying to temp me . . .

 

Julia Fox plays the role of Marlon Wayans' wife in the forthcoming horror film, Him.

 

Saw this earlier today, my theater was having so much fun, they got a hit on their hands and the interracial aspect is key to the story in a way that neither diminishes the man nor the white woman.

So this sounds like a purchase rather than a rental?!? I am always keeping an eye out for high quality additions to my 4K Blu-Ray library

 

Finally got our tickets for Lazer IMAX tomorrow night. Damn fifty bucks?!?

 

Gotta get that AMC A-List

 

LOL, @Young Herschel we on the same page. After reading that post, I knew the film is a future iTunes (or Amazon Video) purchase for me.

Speaking of digital video platforms, I recently found out that you can't access "iTunes Extras" on the Apple TV app on non-Apple devices. "iTunes Extras" is a huge reason that iTunes is my 1st choice to buy digital movies & TV shows. So looks like I'm gonna be selling off my Fire TV stick Max & going back to Apple TV for a 3rd time.

 

I cannot say I love the new Apple+ interface they adopted two years ago. I rather enjoyed it when you could go into Apple iTunes for movies and the categories seemed deeper and stronger. Like for Horror they did a great job of following your viewing preferences and acquiring the IR elements that I would rent. Now I don't hardly use it because it's not as user friendly as it was when I got it.

Do you find it as receptive as it was years several years ago? If you have certain preferences @ColiBreh1 does Apple iTunes do as good at providing those specific movies you like? It was just behind TUBI in my opinion and far better than Prime Video which is good when it wants to be . . . but just doesn't try as hard as it could compared to TUBI which is fucking free lol

In 2022 it was 1. TUBI 2. Apple iTunes 3. Prime Video as far as the thumbs up or thumbs down algorithm for tailoring to your tastes. Netflix never did give a damn because it is too BIG to really care.

 

I never saw the point of using the Apple TV app though I tried it a few times on Amazon fire stick and the SONY OLED. It is lacking the full functionality of the Apple + streaming box.

 

Just got back from the theater and it was jan packed at the Cherry Hill Lowes AMC 24. I wasn't blown away by it but it was more than just okay. This might have been better as an HBO series than a standalone movie so as to allow for more characters development and background in my opinion. There were parts that felt forced and would have been better if it was developed gradually especially Haillee Steinfield's character "Mary". She would have been more impactful iif this were a cable series and we could gradually build her background and character up with some plot-integrated flashbacks. Good job by Ryan Coogler though and I am happy that I supported this artistic effort.

 

Yes, there were elements here and there that felt a bit crammed-in, but overall I was surprised at how well the maelstrom of genres, pace changes, and allegories held together - they damn near made a musical horror film, which is an incredible feat in itself. What Sinners did well, in my estimation, it did exceedingly well and the on-the-nose bits were flourishes you’ll get in auteur driven work. I hard disagree on shifting the format to series. Sinners is a beautifully photographed film.

 

My preference for series over movies might be showing here. Imagine if Mary (Haillie Steinfield's character) was introduced slowly as an octoroon passing in Clarksville, MS traveling to her mother's funeral with her loving but obtuse White husband and family from Little Rock, AR. There are some subtle glances in town between the lead characters but for the most part she plays it coy as her husband takes the lead as a Alpha male dominant bread winner and provider for her and their children while she acts the Southern Lady (all deferential and demure). However via plot-plausible flashbacks when get a window into her past and particularly her past with Smoke & Stack as they were partially raised by her beloved belated mother who is played effortlessly by Troian Bellesario or Rebecca Hall.

Then we get another episode with more flashbacks about the Smoke and Stack twins (Michael B Jordan's characters) doing dirt in Chicago during Prohibition as runners and collectors for the Capone crime syndicate and how they gradually rise up through the ranks.

There could be an early episode where we learn much more about the Delta Chinese American experience and how it was intertwined with the Mississippi Delta merchant class and the fallen glory of the Knights of the White Camelia. Then episode three things pops off with substantial investment paying dividends for the Vampire Southern Gothic undertones of the first episodes. That's how I project that HBO or Showtime would do "Sinners" (probably as a MAX original because it's a Warner Brothers IP and they could give Ryan Coogler and Micheal B Jordan the $90 million they want for an eight episode series right?!?

 

No doubt. Your pitch is compelling—in fact, I might have too easily dismissed it. That 90 million would get diluted stretched across eight episodes and I really enjoyed the production design and photography, which would get thinned out to keep to scale. Also, compression is an important part of film. Part of the greatness of a film like Casablanca is the poetics of withholding - Rick is the lead/lover but also a mystery. The exact details of Rick/Ilsa’s backstory is depicted symbolically—that’s my thing. Mary and Stack have that kind of mystery to me, their scenes are loaded with subtext and weight. But I see the strength in telling a long-form, interracial Gone With The Wind with vampires too. I’d def watch that

 

The Daughter: I, A Woman part iii(1970)

One of the early sexploitation films of the era.





In 1970 Copenhagen, a young woman is torn between her feelings for an ambitious, young African American doctor and his uninhibited go-go dancer sister.

 

Umjolo Day One(2024) South Africa






Zanele and Andile have been best friends since day one. But now that Andile is married with kids, is Zanele destined to be in the friend zone forever?

here’s a scene


you get the dynamic involved

 

I found this a couple years ago on TUBI and I was surprised how good it was. Very comprehensive and layered with compelling love scenes. I highly recommend it as way before it's time (1970). It takes place in Europe so the sociopolitical barriers are going to be different from what you know here in America but some familiar racial discrimination elements arise of course.

 

I loved what Coogler was able to do with bringing the Horror element back to vampire flicks. He did while also keeping the vampire's sexy appeal and seduction powers as
presented with Mary. Nosferatu was also able to do the same thing. The horror element has been missing from Vampire flicks for a LONG time.
