R.I.P. Virgil

As a giallo fan and fan of movie knowledge (especially when it pertains to genres I love and know about), I appreciate the pedantry.

I second this list, LaurenceQ!

THANK YOU!

I loved every bit of it.

Shout-out to the underrated flick Posse.  That movie doesn’t get enough love.

We better support this!
I wanna see everybody complaining about “too much black suffering in films”/“Where are all the black fantasy and sci-fi flicks at?” talking up this series on black twitter or y’all just fake as a fuck.

Thank you for this!

I like what you did there dropping a reference to Denzel in Much Ado About Nothing

AVClub: Allow me to pontificate on how Denzel and Ellen are both wrong (but mostly/MAINLY why Ellen deserves the benefit of the doubt)

Jezebel: #Girlboss “white woman noises”

TheRoot: The audacity of the caucasity!

RIP, Mr. Van Peebles.
Thank you for your contribution to cinema.

This is fact.  I consider Bava to be the father of the slasher genre.

Part III is my favorite of the franchise!  I love everything about that flick from the funky opening theme to the 3D!

My list of slasher flick favs (in no particular order after #1):
1. April Fool’s Day
2. Cutting Class
3. Sleepaway Camp
4. The Burning
5. The Prowler
6. Friday the 13th Part V
7. The Mutilator
8. Halloween
9. Gotta give it up for the giallos and go with my favorite Tenebrae
10. Pieces

Have you seen Unhinged? It’s kinda in the same vein as Sleepaway Camp. That one doesn’t get enough love out here.

Gotta recommend April Fools’ Day. Arguably the most clever, if not the out-right best, slasher of all time. People learned the wrong lessons from movies like Scream and such and leaned waaay too hard into the whole “meta commentary on the genre/self-aware, genre-saavy characters/deconstruction of slasher conventions”…

Nailed it!

That’s something I do miss about the nineties-black film didn’t need white approval to be successful, nor did its creators think so.

Well said.  People did the same with George W. Bush because he was buddy-buddy with Michelle Obama and Ellen Degeneres.

Stay on their neck, ShaqtinAFool.  They don’t like the truth, here.
