Mini Review - The Blackening (2023)

i really like it (high tier?) 🤔

Quite a Black-ass funny-ass horror, but much more of an interesting Black movie than a horror. Like, the main horror is in the racist murderer at a cabin in the woods. Like,... I'm not even gonna explain that. You either get it or you don't. Which brings me to the main thing I wanna say. This really is for Black people. I wouldn't recommend it for people who aren't in some way "Black" (biracials, getcha ass in here).

I'm serious when I say this isn't for Euros. Like, y'all really shouldn't* watch this unless you were out of the blue invited by Black people or are yourself very involved with Blackness in some way. (whatever dafuq that means) Should full-on Euros who have no actual exposure to Blackness see this movie? Absolutely not. Everything's dangerous in the wrong hands, and some of y'all asses are gonna do the absolute wrong shit with this. Intentionally or not.

*Pre-Edit: I heard a room of Black people (including some cast members) completely disagree with me in Way Up With Angela Yee’s video (timestamped).

Now that I'm done talking to the non-Blacks, let's get on with it.

for the African Descended

Y'all, this some shit. God damn. So glad I just happened to see this in a small theatre filled to a third with mostly Afros. Got to enjoy the reactions almost as much as the movie. Is it great, though? As a Black movie, yeah. As a horror movie, nah. As a Black horror, yep. As a Black comedy horror, hell yeah. And to be real, I don't think non-Black reviews/opinions/criticisms should even be taken into account for this one. Like, I read 7 recent reviews on Letterboxd before getting to Darryl Buckhanan's and seeing all the convincing I needed. This ain't for everybody. And I'm glad it ain't. Let ma ass be. Real talk,... how many o'y'all would'a failed that shit? 💀

Real talk, I didn't trust this movie to not be for Euros because of the director (Tim Story). Here me out! Of his 23 movies listed on Letterboxd, I've only seen five: Barbershop (2002), Fantastic Four (2005), Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007), Think Like a Man (2012) (they just had to put Rihana’s abuser in this 🙄), and this one. While I enjoyed all of the other four, I 1) haven't seen his other Black-casted works and 2) strongly suspected Shaft (2019) of being made for Euros everytime I saw its preview in theatres. Never bothered to confirm that suspicion, but I don't feel the need to. Fortunately, that review convinced me of this one and I saw it yesterday.

Side Notes:

Would not recommend watching 3Peat Presents: The Blackening - Uncensored before the movie if you're already interested. If you ain't, then go ahead and ask yourself if you want a feature length film inspired by this 4 minute Comedy Central skit. (the answer is yes)

Already saw it and interested in hearing some of the cast and crew talk about it? Here ya go:

Happy Juneteenth, mofos

Pre-Edit: I realized while listening to interviews and doing my Crew Data that this movie probably won't fully succeed unless Euros watch it too. That’s the business side of it. I’m speaking on more of a personal matter in comparison. meh 🤷🏿‍♂️ Shortly after typing the above, I heard a room of Black people (including some cast members) completely disagree with me in Way Up With Angela Yee’s video (timestamped).

Tests:

I’m gonna skip 4 crew tests and hold off on posting Crew Data for now. Here’s the test process for the other 16, though.

Guys. GUYS.

2023’s Black List (the most popular un-produced screenplays in Hollywood) has dropped, and it has a screenplay based on the making of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.

Yes, THAT Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. Broadway’s most expensive flop of all time. With Greek mythology and Julie Taymor and fucking U2.

The screenplay is called Boy Falls From Sky and it’s written by Hunter Toro and it’s very funny and well-researched. Please enjoy, and tag your fan-casts for these roles because I’m so hyped by this potentially being made someday.

Set It Off (1991)

(movie had me so fucked up had to cry about it to my partner and forgot to give it a rating; and here we go 1.5 months later) i love it? (probably... painfully) (x tier? idfk) 10/10

nice-ass camera work during the first robbery nice-ass vibe during the graduation party

interesting choice making the dudes so frightening; like, they had some solid “hard” vibes going on, monstrous even... very interesting 🤔

really well done #NotAllCops shit; still ACAB tho "What's the procedure?"

fucked up what it came down to for her regarding the advance both slaps were justified, but he'll never understand why

Latifah's lover was either written that way or just couldn't act well; either way, she played the roll very well wait, was she (the actor) mute? 🤔 Latifah's character is trans, isn't she? definitely a short-sighted hot head had an interesting perspective, though; on belonging in the hood and all methinks the problem was that she failed to consider other options (e.g.: leave the damn country) 

Moderate Spoilers

Latifah turning around during gave strong lashing vibes like, no way that wasn't intentional... these directors and/or writers be Black missa gon' check later; 'cause fuck they really did that shit the director is, and the two writers probably are considering their filmography killed by the system was he lying about the money or no? most likely, but he lied too well then again, does he always keep a revolver under the pillow when at a motel? 🤔 shooting him might've been the right call tbh; no tellin' what he intended or what would've gone down yeah~, surely he would've told 'em they were jobless "Don't be greedy." 😭

yeah, she teared up after romance night because it was just another trade off like with the check; significantly better, sure, but it ain't balanced and it sure as hell ain't hers this movie's violently feminist

Major Spoilers

BRUH~ I honestly needed to baby cry with my head in somebody's lap after that. 😢 Spent most of the movie tense af knowing what was coming. And hard cried thrice. Fuck, this movie was better than I remember. Why dafuq don't I ever hear about it? 🤔

the sad ending would be the other fucker never jumping in and they all go to prison this was the fucked ending three people died, somebody lost their lover, a child lost their mother, and somebody lost three friends i'm hurting myself again, time to change the topic

Back in 2017 I signed up for one of the Cards Against Humanity sillies and did their Cards Against Humanity Saves America. Basically they were like fuck Tr*mp and his border wall and used the funds from the campaign to buy land and to make all 150,000 contributors part owners of said land across the US/Mexico border.

It was fun and silly and I got a little certificate.

Today I got an email that Elon Musk illegally annexed that land for SpaceX and that CAH are suing him over it. So possibly I’ll get like $100 if they manage to win a lawsuit and stick it to Musk. It’s like even more bang for my original buck.

if a character means enough to me i will truly never stop thinking about them. i just retire them into a little back room in my brain and periodically bring them out to stare at them under a little light
