What D’Angelo said Black Messiah means. It came out at the end of 2014 and it was so needed.
Article (Nolan Feeney; TIME) excerpt reads: “Black Messiah is a hell of a name for an album. It can be misunderstood. Many will think it's about religion. Some will jump to the conclusion that I'm calling myself a Black Messiah. For me, the title is about all of us. It's about the world. It's about an idea we can all aspire to. We should all aspire to be a Black Messiah.

It's about people rising up in Ferguson and in Egypt and in Occupy Wall Street and in every place where a community has had enough and decides to make change happen, D'Angelo writes in a statement about the album It's not about praising one charismatic leader but celebrating thousands of them. Not every song on this album is politically charged (though many are), but calling this album Black Messiah creates a landscape there these songs can live to the fullest. Black Messiah is not one man. It's a feeling that, collectively, we are all that leader.”

“D’Angelo’s First Album in 14 Years Is Finally Here, and It’s Surprisingly Timely” via TIME.

This movie made me so confused about an “egg cream"

and even to this day I’m still like, okay so it’s like you put seltzer in chocolate milk? and this is the desired outcome??

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

oh my god 🚨 TRYPOPHOBES BE-FUCKIN-WARE 🚨

I am unsettled

but the setup is also one of those where I know if I found myself in it, i’d be

Now watching Vicious and so far the setup is very promising

Yes! I watched it for the first time last year and loved it, it was chock full of “Hey, it’s that guy!” actors just doing their thing, and it was great
stonkers.bsky.social
that IS a very fun fact hahaha

Harris was really great in that (unsurprising). I liked that one quite a bit, it felt like the real horror was the DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNnnnnnn patriarchy all along

oooh thank you for turning my gaze to her page, that’s a good follow!

Agreed! And if we do have to have the [redacted] extra stuff I do wish they’d gone the Spielberg with Jaws route and kept it a bit more off screen and hidden by shadows. I don’t wanna say it looked a bit goofy, but...

And Paul Ready! The only other thing I’d seen him in before The Terror came out was Utopia, so the kind warmth of Mister Goodsir was such an unexpected change!

And Tobias Menzies! (fun to see Caesar and Brutus reunited on screen)

Oh my god the saddest dad eyebrows. His storyline was so heartbreaking.

That shot was really incredible, I agree!

Then hit Slumber Party Massacre 2, new one for me, and was underwhelmed. I expected it to be more fun than it was, given the killer. But it was kind of a slog? Maybe bc I didn’t feel well, but it was just scene after scene of the girl from Wings dreaming something that wasn’t real...UNTIL IT WAS

Did a rewatch of Slumber Party Massacre, which is just a joy. Lots of goofy goodness. I will always love the girl who eats the pizza off the dead delivery guy, she gets it.

That tension is never resolved, it just sits there and keeps the whole thing from ever cohering into something truly great or even good.

I did watch this new to me one, The Cursed, and it was fine. But it suffers the same problem a lot of movies based on old euro folklore do, it wants to be modern and acknowledge the wrongs done to the romani people, while also making a horror movie about how they can and will curse you

because I’ve been ill, I haven’t really had energy for new watches, so I binged all of The Terror season 1. I’m telling you, if you set your horror movie on a ship you’re 75% of the way there with me. If you freeze that ship? 85%. Put Ciarán Hinds and Jared Harris on that ship?? I’m all in.
