When am I ever going to be able to recognize Jack O’Connell on sight… he’s a genuine delight as a super creepy vampire in Sinners, with shades of Jerry Dandridge, but even when I saw the credits rolling I was like “okay that can’t be the same guy as The North Water” and suffice it to say: it was.

Also I’m obsessing over Annie… people are already being weird nitpickers over the film’s treatment of vampire lore (“wah wah wah, in real life people know about vampires from Dracula!” — truly the criticism of a person who’s totes conversant with horror cinema) but I really loved the way she fills the role of Person In A Horror Movie Who Explains The Monster Rules and her very practical hands-on approach to supernatural threats being grounded in rootwork and folk magic. Also she’s very hot and made me cry.

hung out with cousin's DJ friend last night and he said the best compliment he's ever received was when he was DJing an orgy and did his research ahead of time and came prepared with Portishead/Massive Attack/Cocteau Twins/etc and halfway through the set, a woman stopped mid-blowjob and pulled the dick out of her mouth to say (to nobody in particular) "damn, this mix is incredible!"

Oh my godddd… Sinners is a doozy of a film and it absolutely rewarded being seen on the big screen if you can swing that. Historical horror movie with vampires that is also a romance and that is also a musical. 👌👌👌👌 It explores pretty heavy historical territory and it’s worth hitting up DoesTheDogDie or similar if you’re concerned but holy shit… also the costumes are incredible which is a lot of fun. Supremely creepy vamps, hot twins who are deeply weird about each other, and a needle drop that gave me genuine bodily chills.
