Nobody calls him White in the film. His last name is probably shown twice in the beginning of the movie. He didn't earn his success because
I liked Freaky and Spree from the 2022 list, but both are more dark comedy than actual horror. I liked Thanksgiving (2023).
I'm getting flashbacks to that Shining "documentary" where some pseudo-intellectual said the movie was about (feather) Indians losing their land because of various shots showing American frontier imagery and the line about the Overlook Hotel being built on native land.
He only killed like one slut in the whole series as far as I remember. Jason's the prudish one.
I really tried to think about this and I guess I got nothing. If anything, just make another one and don't try to get cute or high concept about it. "Freddy kills some people, then 'dies' 'forever'" is good enough for me.
They're all sluts in Hollywood.
I might give this to you since Peele wasn't the writer or the director for this film and only a producer but consider this. If we look at Nope as an example Steven Yeun only had a role in the film because Jesse Plemons was unavailable which certainly shows a preference for White heels from Peele and that the racial casting of the part may've differed from the intention of the script. Additionally if you look at the racial background of drafting in the NFL for the past 24 years (from CasteFootball)
He definitely does, you won't see me arguing that
Peele didn't write the script. I don't know if the casting for Him was changed from the writers' intention. Were all but one of the football players in the movie black because the filmmakers were thinking about majority white QBs? What sense does that make? If anything it further convinces me that "whitey bad" was not the point of the movie. People have speculated that Isaiah White's last name is a wink and nudge to the fact that he's a black man in a role usually filled by a whitey. Or maybe some reference to the fact that he's "owned" by the white team owners. If the latter, I think that's fine tbh. There is something kind of weird to me about how white team owners trade black sportsball folks around like prize livestock and no one bats an eye because sportsball.
They did because Peele didn't write or direct.
It's because it's a stupid point and when Colin Kaepernick tried to make it he was generally called stupid too for acting like pro sports (never hockey of course) is somehow on any level analogous to slavery.
It's pogo the clown.
The idea is cool but a nigger main character puts me off.
Ah... I'll get me deer pelt coat, then... Embarrassing.
I'm saying I personally think it's weird, as someone who doesn't watch or enjoy sports. Not analogous to slavery, but weird. A lot of fodder there to come up with some cool horror scenarios and Him didn't follow through.
I wouldn't be surprised if the show is not very successful, despite the success of the films. The first IT film in the remake duology came out almost 10 years ago. The sequel already kind of explains everything you need to know about ITs origins and motivations. We know that IT won't be beaten since IT's obviously going strong in the first film. The only draw is "look it's Bill as Pennywise again" and idk if that's enough.
The ones that are DVD special features. Maybe some have popped up on YouTube. I'd expect anything vomited directly onto a streaming service to be some kind of agitprop, but I don't keep up.
Clowns entered our collective cultural memory due to incursions by blood-sucking space monsters. Much like vampires.
I'd actually prefer a series based on the prologue to Chapter 1, that was left on the cutting room floor: IT in the late 1600s or early 1700s, lived in a woman's well, and talks her into letting him eat her baby son.
