I sweater God I was thinking about that song last night :dead:

It's wild how it works as a horror score.

Breh might have another one on his hands :leon:

Might??

I'm there first night first showing. Who knew the cat from Mad TV was a low key genius this whole time? If this is a hit we got three GIANTS in movies with him, Barry Jenkins, and Coogler able to basically do whatever they want and who are obviously making lanes for the people.

Myself. fukk 12(1)!
I love horror, and you're giving me a Black family as the main protagonists in a horror movie? Sign me up.

Everything about the trailer was creepy... the chopped/screwed Luniz, the dopplegangers (Lupita's was SCURRY scurry), even the fact that the scissors they use seem to reflect that "doppleganger" motif (they don't look like regular scissors to me; they kinda look like 2 faces/heads in profile - almost like a call to the movie poster).

I think it's interesting that the song is "I Got 5 On It" (and that song samples "Why You Treat Me So Bad") but there's only 4 family members... does it relate to the little girl they show throughout the trailer? Is she the 5th? Was she treated "badly" and the events in the movie is a result of what happened to her? I feel like Pepe Silvia right now LOL

Man, I can't wait to see this.

Someone on twitter said that couldve been a plot point. I think Ill go with that. Ive never met any Black Africans (raised in African culture) who dont understanding rhythm and timing, if youve ever been to any African themed function ever, it seems like an impossibility.

Yeah adds to my theory earlier of this being an out of touch well to do family

That new furniture is made for big family sitting in:mjlit:


Toddlers and kinds under 10 running through your living room with uncovered cups of red kool aid, Hawaiian Punch or Tihitian Treat:lolbron:


Auntie with a big plate on your couch eating :shaq:

Martha


My chairs are cream colored.
:mjcry:


Code switching to fit in with others hence you're your own worst enemy.

I think it’s going there too. Jordan isn’t going to make something without a DEEP message.

I think the "I Got Five On It" opening is the end of the movie too. I also think at the end of the movie, the family is BLENDED. With the Doppleangers and the real family. Notice how the daughter looked at Lupita when she was off beat. It looked like she noticed as well.
