Good Morning. I hope that you are enjoying this weekend with family and friends.
Jordan Peele…the Academy Award Winning creator of Get Out has a new film coming out…
It’s called US….
It stars Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke
It’s a horror flick…here’s the trailer….
From Shadow and Act:
Shrouded In Darkness: The Trailer For Jordan Peele’s ‘Us’ Redefines Horror Mythology
“It is a horror film. I dedicated a lot of myself to creating new horror mythology and new monsters. I think that monsters and stories about monsters are one of our best ways of getting at deeper truths and facing our fears in society. It was very important to me to have a Black family at the center of a horror film.”
The Us trailer opens warmly enough. A Black family — a mother, father, son and daughter travel along a country road with Luniz’s 1995 hip-hop classic “I Got 5 On It” blasting from the radio. The father, Gabe (Winston Duke) sits in the driver’s seat rapping along to the music as the mother, Adelaide (Lupita Nyong’o), turns toward the backseat eagerly trying to get her young children (Shahadi Wright Joseph and Evan Alex) to engage with the classic song. The kids, of course, are less than impressed.
The Wilson family soon arrives at Adelaide’s old childhood beachside home in Northern California where they are spending the summer. They take in the day lounging at the beach with some old friends —the Tyler family (Elisabeth Moss and Tim Heidecker). Their blissful day quickly turns sinister when Adelaide —who is haunted by a past trauma — notices that her son Jason (Alex) is no longer on the beach. Adelaide spirals into a panic running along the sand shouting for her son before finally finding Jason who —seems OK, though perhaps a little thrown off by an eerie figure he sees on the beach. Done with the beach for the day, the Wilsons head back to their summer home for the evening. As night swoops in, the family’s lives descends into complete chaos. First, a figure clutching a large pair of shears appears in their driveway along with four silent figures clutching hands. From Peele and the cast’s exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly we’ve learned that these monsters are called “the Tethered.”
Never one to back down from a fight Gabe (Duke), dressed in a Howard University sweatshirt and clutching a baseball bat, runs out of the house to confront the figures who are terrifying his family. He screams, “If you want to get crazy, we can get crazy!” As he approaches them, he realizes there is something oddly familiar about these monsters. What Gabe sees stuns him —the Tethered are horrific versions of himself and his family. Though the figures are shrouded in darkness, Adelaide soon realizes, “They think like us, look like us, and know who we are.” Terrorized and panicked, the Wilsons and their friends begin the bloody and horrific fight for their lives. All the while chopped and screwed versions of “I Got 5 On It” ring out eerily in the background.
So what is Us really about? At its core, Peele explained, “It is about something that I feel has become an undeniable truth. That is the simple fact that we are our own worst enemies.” Instead of examining the monsters that invade out nightmares, Peele is redefining the horror mythology by turning it on its head and forcing us to look inward — at the fears that have haunted us throughout our lifetimes.
Us debuts in theaters on March 15, 2019.
I don’t do horror, but for those of you that do….enjoy…

Not that Pelosi couldn’t do a helluva lot better with the answer to the Black Lives Matter question…
I gotta say this.
We had the phucking KKKeebler Elf for 2 years raining hell …where was this person.
I remember alllll those Twitter Blacktivists who were everywhere during 44’s Administration…all day, everyday.
We get a full blown White Supremacist, and, outside of DeRay and Shaun King…the rest of them have become GHOSTS.
So, color me curious about this person popping up at Nancy Pelosi’s Town Hall.

I can agree with you on the Twitter Blacktavist going silent. But Nancy Pelosi should have did a a hellava lot better than the “All Lives Matter” fuckery. This has nothing to do with her Speaker position. She deserves it. But she wouldn’t be Speaker without Black women voters busting our ass getting out the vote to put her in that position. Black Lives Matter is not about past grievances. Racism is happening right now. Many of those Black women voters have had their sons, husbands, uncles gunned down by police and still worked to elect Democrats to control the House. It tells me she has learned nothing about Black Lives Matter. I still remember from the emails where she said “Don’t make any promises to Black Lives Matter”. That’s a stab in the heart. My Black boys lives matter!

Republican hypocrisy at its finest: saying that Trump admitting to sexual assault on tape is just “locker room talk,” but scandalizing themselves into faux-outrage when my sis says a curse word in a bar.

Pelosi Stumbled, bigly with the question posed by the young black girl. This “all lives matter’ bull sit?I.CAN.NOT. Why go there? It’s not what was asked.
Here’s how it should have gone down:
“YES”. FUUL STOP.
The young lady needed a heartfelt response. “Yes” she would hear “You matter”
One word answer leaves the door open for the young lady to ask a clarifying question, or for Joy to pose another question.
These town halls are not designed for the kind of nuanced discussions before a camera.
This is politics, folks. Watch what Speaker Pelosi does, gets done.
We are at war with 45 & the rest of the thugs in his circle. Criticize, mobilize, and support get the work done, to get this mother sucker out of our White House.

The disconnect between the career politicians and the rest of us cannot be ignored. It will, from time to time, show itself.
But we must stay focused on the crisis at hand until enough tourniquets are in place to stop the bleeding.

Nancy Pelosi response to the Black Lives Matter question was extremely disappointing. Extremely. Black women voters have saved the Democratic Party’s ass. But Nancy has learned absolutely nothing about Black Lives. This is not about past grievances. It’s about what’s happening right now and she doesn’t GET IT! WTF is wrong?
