Let’s help some strangers stuck at 69% of their goal!
In case you find spreadsheets overwhelming but want to help some of the Black families of Eaton out. Their last name stood out (we’re not related) and are one of the many GFMs that could use support.

Happy Black History Month to the baddest xenomorph that ever aliened.
We’re tired of him always being left off the lists so we’re reminding y’all the actor that brought Thee #Alien to life was Bolaji Badejo. Put some respect on his name if you’re going to do a list of creatures we love.

The Uber driver that picked me up from the theater asked me what I did for a living after I gave him my unsolicited thoughts on the movie when he asked what I had seen. When he found out, his next question was, “Do you have some Black horror movies you recommend?” and I-

We didn’t need to lose Tony Todd this week too. I was really hoping to meet him again because I fucking forgot how to say words when I met him last year. I don’t think there were ever going to be enough words to tell him what he meant to us anyway though.

I have loved every episode of #TedLasso and everything @ashleyn1cole has ever given to television so I don’t know why I’m surprised that’s this week’s episode is one of my favorite episodes of TV this year.

Friendly reminder that if you're the type of person that leaves reviews on #Shudder, you should leave some kind words on work created by POC and Queer people because otherwise, the bigots are the only visible comments. Make a filmmaker's day and help finish burying the fools!

Two Black folks talking about horror in an Uber and silently celebrating that one of them got their foot in the door is cool. But like, it would be better if more places hired Black folks to talk about horror so more of us could have our feet in the damn doors.

Being nominated for things is cool but I can’t sit back and watch this happen in the timeline. Don’t invite me to things if you don’t respect Black women. It saves us all a lot of time and Tweets.

It’s aging better than the originals, more fun than most of the films in this universe, is the only Ghostbuster movie that I think deserves a sequel, understood women could do more than be possessed love interests/receptionists, and it also upset incels. Plus this cast was 🔥🔥🔥.

Can you imagine being the agents that wanted to talk her out of one of the best thrillers in the history of cinema?.
Gina Gershon was warned by her agents not to play a lesbian character in "Bound.". "My agents were like, ‘We will not let you do this movie. You are ruining your career. We will not be able to let you represent. You will never work again.' I just said, ‘Oh, well, I guess if you

If you're following me, you're probably also sick of offensive tropes and stereotypes. So, support some movies that don't do that. #MonkeyMan.#AbigailTheMovie.#TheCoffeeTable (Limited Release). I try not to be that bitch, but we have to show up if we want more good shit.

There’s a lot of people showing who they really are with their Jeepers Creepers comments today. That’s not the franchise, or person, to die on a hill for. Our show will never give this franchise any attention, and I’ll turn down shows if I catch them promoting it. Do better!.

Instead of posting something performative you could just listen/watch/read/etc. stuff made by Black people today. No one needs to know you purchased something from the cultural appropriation catalog so you can change your profile picture. That is not how you ally 🌚

I get not being a fan of movies that need that SA content warning. I also get being annoyed with romance when you came to see people get sliced up. However, seeking out horror with zero sexuality is giving puritanical and I am afraid.
