Candyman, Candyman, Candy— ... Say his name, just not five times. Zayla Crocker tells us how the 1992 & 2021 CANDYMAN filmms "sustained vitality of Black existence & memory through the utterance of a name." From Eng Lang Notes @dukepress.bsky.social @projectmuse.bsky.social doi.org/10.1215/0013...
On the left, a screenshot of the article "They Will Say: Ritual Naming and Living beyond the Pale with Candyman," in plain text.On the right, a still from the 1992 film CANDYMAN in which two women, one White and one Black, stand in front of a mirror and chant "Candyman, Candyman…," smiling a bit because they're half-joking.

The number one advice any & every writing professional can & will give you is this: DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SUCK. You have spent years reading books, watching movies & TV, developing taste to know good from bad. NO ONE GETS TO READ YOUR WRITING UNTIL YOU LET THEM. Trust your taste & write fearlessly.

I also keep thinking about Racheal Cain's SOMNIUM, with an experimental sleep clinic that makes dreams come true, and how it taps into ideas around the science of dreams, optimization culture, and the (mis)use of AI-generated content. www.dreadcentral.com/news/515667/... @dreadcentral.bsky.social

Returned to reviews for Brooklyn Horror 2024, where one of my favorites was Alice Lowe's TIMESTALKER, where love at first sight is a disorder so powerful it transcends time and space-unfortunately, your soulmate might be kind of rubbish @dreadcentral.bsky.social www.dreadcentral.com/reviews/5156...

'Timestalker' Brooklyn Horror 2024 Review: A Cosmic Horror Romance
With her new feature film 'Timestalker', Alice Lowe crafts an audacious, funny, and overall delightful tale about love and the nature of time.

Finally moved in here, feeling a bit like I got to the party, went out for ice, came back and now everyone is here and it's great. I write about art, films, and culture, make the occasional video essays, and you can read more about it: katerobertson.me
