First time watching Candyman 2: Farewell to the Flesh. The first one is just iconic - literally perfect. Completely ruined my childhood. The sequel suffers from a thin plot and clunky writing. The first one just oozes horror from both the real world and the spirit world. This one maybe tried to be too much like the original- same music, same creepy murals, blonde woman lead. I liked it though, because I love Tony Todd and respect the franchise. Now I’m even MORE EXCITED for Nia DeCosta’s Candyman!

Watched UNHINGED on a plane which was the perfect place for it. I was soooo angry watching this movie and about every decision made. That being said, I was also on the edge of my seat. So yeah, perfect plane movie - just good enough.

Simultaneously horrified, pissed off, unnerved and emotionally drained. Reading and processing a lot of feedback on this show from Black critics and fans. Some positive reviews, a lot of negative, and a LOT of “I refuse to watch this / sick of seeing our trauma retold over and over”. Understandable. Also watched the commentary from the Black actors and creators of the show and was glad that every episode began with a warning and a suggestion to watch the commentary of the creators. Undoubtedly the performances from the lead actors are powerful. The horror and brutality that the Emory family endured is endless, with little reprieve. Did it go too far? I don’t know, it is straight up horror - that’s what the genre does. I’m also white and can’t accurately gauge the line of too far here. I recognize that black pain and suffering does not need to be exploited for entertainment purposes and I also get that it shouldn’t be filtered or sugar coated either. The story sort of weaves and meanders aimlessly, and a few of the plot points just really come out of left field (...❌spoiler: random hostage situation?)... ✅ ....End spoiler. The soundtrack comes in a bit awkward at times. Overall just a heavy watch. Certainly not for a casual audience and the viewer discretion messages at the beginning of each episode are beyond warranted, because it’s bleak and nothing good happens. In fact it keeps getting worse. This show will not and should not be easily swallowed. It is a show that I will spend a lot of time digesting. I’d love to hear your thoughts! #Them #amazon #themamazon #horrortv #lenawaithe #littlemarvin

SPOTTED: Blair Waldorf and Dan Humphrey running from Horny the Clown in the 2007 cinematic masterpiece, DRIVE THRU. I’m not gonna lie - I love this god awful movie. Holy shit it is a 2007 time capsule. And that screamo/2000s rock soundtrack. I’m ready for the sequel that Horny the Clown deserves. XOXO, Nerdcropolis.
