30 Days of Night is your next vampire watch. Trust me.

2025-10-05 12:29:36 +0000 UTCThis is horror… truly. Mainstream horror with the vampires. Racial horror for Black Folks… that why it so good… it truly mixes the fictional horror of traditional fantasy based creatures and the real horror that was done to my people for Generations.

2025-06-22 00:41:56 +0000 UTCThis movie ROCKS. If you loved it so much I HIGHLY recommend listening to the Dead Meat Podcast episode of this movie. They did tons of research into the historical background that Dir. Coogler included into the script like the connections between the Choctaw tribe, the Irish, and the black community. Also the big influx of Chinese immigrants into the Mississippi delta around this time. Sooo interesting.

2025-06-20 13:51:02 +0000 UTCRegarding your point on the Irish and how oppressed they were in the US: I am in NO WAY saying that they were treated on the same level as Black people or Chinese when I say this, but the line in Blazing Saddles sums things up pretty well with how lowly they were thought of: "We'll take the (n-words) and the (Chinese slurs), but we don't want the Irish!" The Irish were *haaaaaaated* in this country when they first started migrating over. (Which makes sense, given the US was colonized by the British.)

2025-06-20 01:49:58 +0000 UTCWhat can I say that hasn't already been said? I'm so glad I caught this in the theater, because the "I Lied To You" sequence is TRANSFORMATIVE to get it on the big screen. This movie is unironically, no-caveat, BRILLIANT. The music is just perfect, and incorporated into the story so well. I don't claim to Understand the Blues the same way somebody would in the Mississippi Delta in the 1930s, but by gum I can feel that THEY feel it. It hit the concept of race-in-America perfectly. The Irish really were an oppressed people in Ireland, and continued being oppressed in America, but their oppression was very different than the oppression faced by African Americans. In the mid-20th century there was a concerted effort by Irish-Americans to 'become white' through assimilation and political/economic actions, and that involved collectively stepping on black people to lift themselves up. So here comes Remmick, talking about how he just wants to join in with the party and share his music with them and take their music in turn, but he doesn't care if THEY want to share with him at all. He was kicked off his ancestor's land just like everybody else was, but he's still doing the same thing all over again. I saw somebody else say it perfectly: "you can be oppressed, and still promote and maintain the very same systems of oppression onto other marginalized people." Hailee Steinfeld, who plays Mary, really is 1/8 black. But Hailee Steinfeld, real person, is not herself black. She doesn't claim to be black. She's never tried to say "I'm 1/8 black so I know what it's like". But Mary, the CHARACTER, is black, despite being white passing. Because she was raised in the community, because she has roots in the culture, because she has LIVED a life. If she was ever outed she would be treated just like any other black person in the South. And she's definitely had a different life than all of the other characters since she passes, but NOBODY else gets to say that she isn't "black enough". Delta Slim...oh can we ever say enough about Delta Slim? The man, the legend. He didn't just talk the talk, he walked the walk. He said they'd have to go through him to get to Sammie, and he MEANT it. Because he saw in Sammie every other child who ever wanted to learn the blues, and wanted to make the connection with other people that is so impossible to make. I'm buying this on Blu-ray the DAY it comes out.

2025-06-19 23:17:55 +0000 UTC16:47 In this case its literally the same person, but whenever you know identical twins long enough they just start to look distinctly different. I guess your eye just starts picking up on the microdifferences

2025-06-19 23:07:52 +0000 UTCHot take, but I don't think the vampires were evil. Everyone they killed, they turned and accepted. No hoging power, no thrall slaves, nothing like that. Sure, they were forcing their "salvation" on others, but they genuinely thought they were doing the right thing. They were not saints, but not inherently evil, and still had humanity and could feel love and compassion, as proven by Stack and Mary at the end, when they got upset that Smoke killed Annie and kept their promise not to hurt Sammie.

2025-06-19 22:25:02 +0000 UTCFirst half of this movie had potential to be S+ tier, then the second half happened. Still good, but had potential to be one of the greats.

2025-06-19 19:24:04 +0000 UTCis this the unedited version or the youtube edit?
DasBigUn
2025-06-19 19:22:07 +0000 UTCFor sure. I think, as G&S noted, the "baptism" scene with Remmick and Sammie at the end really underlined that whole idea.

2025-06-19 16:01:16 +0000 UTCOn the note of Grace and her husband: I'm so glad that George pointed out how jarring it was to hear Chinese people with thick Southern drawls, because that definitely threw me when I watched the movie, though like George said, it makes total sense. It reminds me of the one time I went to Jamaica, and I mean, of course there are white people who grew up there but it's still so weird to hear a white person speaking with a thick Jamaican accent.

2025-06-19 15:55:40 +0000 UTCApparently the language that Grace and her husband speak that Remmick mimics is Toisan

2025-06-19 15:51:42 +0000 UTCYou were right about this movie, Jeff. I loved it! Really great addition to the Vampire mythos! Glad to have watched it here as well, the reactions from G&S were much the same as mine 😁
Mike FromOz
2025-06-19 15:40:57 +0000 UTCprobably the best movie of 2025. for sure the best thus far.

2025-06-19 14:51:56 +0000 UTCCouple things I wasn’t sure were gonna be in the trivia or not so waited to comment so as not to be redundant, but old Sammie is played by Buddy Guy, one of the most legendary blues musicians of all-time. Sammie, meanwhile, is at least partly inspired by Robert Johnson, the blues musician who has been mythologized as having made a deal with the devil at a crossroads, trading his soul for his talent. And having this set in Clarksdale is of course super intentional from a musical perspective, since it (and the Mississippi River Delta in general) is considered the birthplace of the blues. In fact, Morgan Freeman owns a blues club there to this day and apparently pops in fairly often, in case anyone was ever hoping to bump into the legend himself. (I also just remembered that in Stephen Fry's series Stephen Fry in America - in which he traveled to all 50 states - when he was in Mississippi, he went to Clarksdale to visit Morgan at his club, and when he was in Chicago, he hung out with Buddy Guy.)

2025-06-19 13:46:12 +0000 UTCI saw this movie for the first time last week after you guys announced that you’d be watching it. Glad I did. I’ve seen it twice so far. Ready to watch along for the third!

2025-06-19 13:33:26 +0000 UTCSinners takes place during the prohibition of alcohol in the US, so that’s why alcohol is treated as special in some scenes
Matt88g
2025-06-19 13:19:09 +0000 UTCThe movie 100% portrays the Church as being just as parasitic as the vampires. Remember that in the beginning, when Sammy comes into the church and his father approaches him telling him to "give himself over to God", he keeps having flashbacks to Remmick essentially doing the same thing.
Johanna Caulfield
2025-06-19 12:57:05 +0000 UTCAmazing film. Also in regards to the Chows, the shot showing Lisa and Grace walking between stores refers to how real life Chinese immigrants in the Mississippi Delta were the only merchants who would sell to both black and white people at that time

2025-06-19 12:40:30 +0000 UTCThis is definitely one of those movies that walking in blind enhances the experience. I was kind of spoiled by the trailers and the reviews and I wish I had known far less going into watching it because it’s definitely a trip. Such good imagery and use of music makes this a masterpiece of storytelling.

2025-06-19 12:15:35 +0000 UTCLet's. Fucking. Go. EDIT: watching the intro now I am SO SO SO GLAD you guys didn’t know what this movie actually is going into it.
