One of horror’s most magical and maniacal minds, Clive Barker is getting the movie treatment again with a new anthology film based on his classic short story collections.

Our true feelings about this show are under embargo but we can say that the trailer looks amazing and we adore it and we cannot wait til Mike Flanagan’s The Haunting of Hill House follow up to hit screens.

I’ll See You In My Dreams (2015)

Header Image: Netflix

The post Everything Coming to Streaming in October appeared first on Nerdist.

I was HYPED to get a review copy of this graphic novel. While not intimately familiar with the author, I had seen her art online in a few places. Like the Dr. Harold Moody (once described as Britain’s Dr. Martin Luther King) Google Doodle and a few of these gorgeous pieces of dancing, smiling, carefree brown-skinned women for AARP. While I didn’t know Charlot Kristensen, the creative behind the work, I saw enough of her art to know that it contained a warmth, not every digital artist is capable of bringing true warmth to their work and she used all the colors to capture attention in every piece of hers that I saw. So, when I had a chance to review her debut graphic novel, I was so happy and agreed.

What We Don’t Talk About is a heavy hitter of a debut for a graphic novel. The book follows Farai who, has been in a relationship for two years and has never met her partner’s parents. Until this weekend. She’s not prepared for the crap show that awaits her. Neither does her significant other even try to prepare her for the folks who raised him.

The first pages introduce us to one Farai, daughter of Zimbabwean immigrants, and girlfriend to Adam whom she’s hurrying to meet. Her bedroom invokes visuals of a person who loves color, loves plants and who is an artist. And she carries on a conversation with her mother on the phone and she assures her that “He’s different:” we’re treated to art supplies all over the room tucked into corners, brightly colored curtains and rugs and potted greenery making real estate everywhere. Already, I get the impression that Farai brings light and color and life wherever she goes. Whether that is appreciated elsewhere is to be seen.

Taking a train with her lover out the city to her parent’s impressive home means a weekend with his parents that doesn’t turn out great. Their home becomes an oppressive place where Farai finds herself the target of racist jokes, sly generalizations on people who are different, and the feeling of simply being unwelcomed. Tragically, it is also a place where she finds her boyfriend Adam quiet, subdued, and not willing to find his voice to support her.

Her partner isn’t willing to rock the boat, and stand up to his parents when he knows, himself, that Farai is uncomfortable. Or that his parents, especially his mother is dismissive. Even wearing a simple, colorful headwrap, something she often wears–out for a short trip on the lake with the parents is frowned upon as he tries to get her to change out of it–for the sake of not being too “loud” or too different.

At 100 pages, I was impressed with the depth of the narrative and how fine the graphic novel’s pace moved along the story. Kristensen’s art is gorgeous, and she vividly paints with color to express different moods and create a world that looks like ours. In her artwork, she is an effective storyteller using emotions that appear on the faces of her characters and their body language to add layers to any scene.

The bowed head of Adam entering the house and continued behavior of trying to retreat into himself at dinner when a conversation gets heated. The severe looks his mother, Martha, gives Farai at times. The cool expressions she wears when saying backhanded compliments. The physical distance she places between her and Farai–it’s incredible to read and follow along with.

Even on pages with no persons visible–thoughts from Farai are accompanied with panels and artwork that fit the scene, perfectly. After Adam and Farai have an argument in the house, she retreats outdoors to a shady tree area to draw and try to distress. After a talk with Adam with him apologizing, they make up, but she still looks troubled. A page of artfully placed panels reveals her inner thoughts of wanting her boyfriend to be present and be there for her. Leaves pulled by the wind from the branches of trees float on, in a flurry surrounding these panels in some chaotic dance. Perhaps mirroring some of the feelings our protagonist was feeling–all the emotions inside her flying around. Definitely, not calm.

While I loved the pacing, the depth of the narrative, and how the ending gave some closure to the situation, I really wanted more of Adam and Farai interacting. As a reader, we are treated to so many pages of Farai finding herself in situations with Adam’s parents–especially his mother. There’s not enough of these two and that may even speak to how abandoned Farai feels in this strange place with these strange people that she’s trying her best to get along with. Some of the dialogue was a bit clunky at times, but it all smoothed out for the big scenes, especially the climax of the book’s conflict that leads to the ending.

What We Don’t Talk About works on so many different levels. Perhaps we all haven’t been in Farai’s shoes–but for persons of color, we’ve all experienced the micro and macro aggressions that comes with having skin that isn’t fair and being in places where you’re seen as less than, or a threat. Reading along reminds me of all the acquaintances that never grew into deeper friendships because of distasteful jokes about Black hair at the office or the dismissing of how certain folks were treated right in front of us by campus police or other authority figures. I retreat back into a memory of considering giving my heart to someone, specifically someone non-Black, and having a great epiphany that meeting the family wouldn’t go well by certain red flags I’d already witnessed.

I happen to come across a review for this book that of course, enraged me: it spoke of the reviewers’ dislike of Farai. Most of the reader’s reading of the book interpreted the protagonist as her being disrespectful in her confrontation of Adam’s parents and how she should have been calmer and collected in trying to reach a middle ground with them. The review also detailed that young people of today all seem to believe that only their opinion matters. No one else’s. And that made me pause because it was a tune I’ve heard before. Several times, in fact. It reminded me that… folks of color just can’t win. Living in so-called post-racial society has made some think that discrimination on the grounds of race doesn’t happen or happen as often anymore.

How many times was I told that I should have educated someone in a way that was kinder? How many times have I been told that my delivery should have been softer? How many times has my Black body been at the mercy of someone who was quick to dehumanize me with mere words? How many ways have I been expected to bend and break myself into positions and into boxes for someone else’s benefit, learning, ease of comfort–how many times do women of color, especially Black women have to do this on a daily basis? Why do we code switch, wear a more conservative hairstyle for the job interview, tone down a love of color, or a certain style of clothing or a certain genre of music to be more…neutral? Likable? Less threatening? Loveable?

What We Don’t Talk About is a graphic novel that carries great weight– tackling issues of being in an interracial relationship and of what it means to be non-White outside the United States. Set in the UK, this is a compelling read that is both timely and relevant. Even at 100 pages, there is enough social commentary and narrative meat on being different, on being brave enough to talk about the things folks don’t want to talk about, and how your skin will present you as unworthy to some.

Easily read in one sitting, I love that this book reinforces that race does play a part in how the world perceives us, how even a simple meeting the parents can be disastrous and hurtful, and knowing your self-worth–even if the one who is supposed to be yours–won’t. Charlot Kristensen’s debut is a memorable one and I look forward to the storytelling she will bring to us with her future work. With her talent and her flair for artfully expressing the feelings and words that don’t always get spoken or verbally expressed, I can already predict her next project will be equally moving and insightful.

The post A Compelling, Heavy Hitting Debut: ‘What We Don’t Talk About’ Graphic Novel Review appeared first on Black Nerd Problems.

So, last week was a crazy week because so many players were getting hurt. The NFL players such as Jimmy Garoppolo (49ers Quarterback), Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas (Both 49ers Defensive End), Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman (49ers running backs), George Kittle (49ers Tight End), Saquon Barkley (Giants running back), Drew Lock (Broncos Quarterback), Cam Akers (Rams running back), Anthony Barr (Vikings Linebacker), Takk McKinley (Falcons Defensive End), David Montgomery (Bears running back), and Breshad Perriman (Dolphins wide receiver).

Moving on to the week 2 prediction updates. So, I picked the Rams to beat the Eagles 33-20, but the actual score was 37-19 Rams. I picked the Cowboys to beat the Falcons 34-24, but the actual score was a high scoring game 40-39 Cowboys after the Falcons blew another big lead like they did in the super bowl against the Patriots. I picked the Steelers to beat the Broncos 24-17, but the actual score was 26-21 Steelers. I picked the Cardinals to beat the Washington Football Team 35-17, but the actual score was 30-15 Cardinals. I picked the Patriots to beat the Seahawks 37-34 in a shootout, but the actual score was 35-30 Seahawks, and the last game is that I picked the Saints to beat the Raiders 38-24, but the actual score was 34-24 Raiders as they proved me wrong on Monday night. With that being said, I got 4 out of 6!

Now let’s move on to the Week 3 predictions. So, I will predict the 49ers @ Giants game. Now, the 49ers have so many injuries piling up on them and a lot of them are out for tomorrow’s game which that includes George Kittle, Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman, Jimmy Garoppolo, and defensive ends Nick Bosa, and Solomon Thomas are both out for the season, and the Giants running back Saquon Barkley is also out for the season. The 49ers are 4-20 when Nick Mullens is the starter which is interesting and they are 20-4 when their starting quarterback is starting. I think I am going to give the Giants an edge here because I just think that they might be a little better since the injuries of the 49ers pile up. I give the Giants a win 21-20 over the 49ers. Next, I am going to predict the Cowboys @ Seahawks game. Both of these teams are coming off a win last week. I think the Seahawks might win against Dallas because the defense of the Cowboys is not really good even with Everson Griffin a defensive end is on the team and Russell will just be Russell as he always is. I give a Seahawks a win 36-31 win over the Cowboys. Maybe the Cowboys can prove me wrong like the Raiders did, but not tomorrow unfortunably. Next, I will predict the Rams @ Bills game. I will give the Bills the edge at home 27-24 over the Rams. The Bills are going to be a really good team this year. Next, I will predict the Lions @ Cardinals game. The Lions team is a mess right now and the Cardinals are really hot right now. The Lions passing game is pretty good with good wide receivers such as Kenny Golliday, Marvin Jones, and Danny Amendola. The Cardinals stadium will have some fans, but no more than 750 people in there. They also have a great running back Adrian Peterson who can run hard and break some tackles. On the defense though, oh my goodness! Their rushing defense is so awful this year as they cannot stop the run. Yes, I will pick the Cardinals to win this game by a little high scoring game 41-27 over the Lions. Kyler Murray and the offense will continue to use the no tempo offense and keep the defense of the Lions gassed. Next game, I will predict the Buccaneers and the Broncos game. I think the Buccaneers may come up on top on the Broncos 29-24. Next game, I will predict the Packers @ Saints game. I actually might go with the Packers on a high scoring game 43-40 over the Saints. Last, I will predict the greatest teams in the AFC the Ravens and the Chiefs. One of the most dangerous offenses in the league right now! I will say that the Ravens will come out on top with a shootout 40-37 over the Chiefs almost like the Chiefs @ the Rams game a couple of seasons ago.

What do you guys think about these predictions? I would like to hear some comments or thoughts. As always, Stay tuned for Week 3 prediction updates!

Between no one being charged for Breonna Taylor’s death and the drama regarding yhe Megan thee Stallion and Tory Lanez shooting, this week has been exhausting for Black women. Singer Jidenna took to Twitter and reminded us that as a Black man who supports Black women, this week has been rough for him as well. In his latest post, he not only said he has been “surpressing rage” but also called out Black men who haven’t been showing up for Black women but claim to be kings.

“The f–kery of this week—the Breonna Taylor verdict, the Tory Lanez release, the childish men in the comments—has me suppressing rage. F–k all that “King” talk if you don’t ride for Breonna, if you don’t believe Megan, if you don’t protect the women who have been protecting us,” he tweeted.

In case you missed it, it was determined that the bullets that killed Breonna Taylor came from officer Myles Cosgrove’s gun. His actions the night of March 13 that left Taylor dead were seen as justifiable; therefore, he won’t face any charges, USA Today reported.

Instead of releasing a statement, Lanez released an album, Daystar, to address the night that he is accused of shooting Megan thee Stallion. On one of the songs titled “Money Over Fallouts” he denies shooting Megan at all.

Rick Ross spoke out more directly about the incident and told the Toronto singer/rapper that this wasn’t the time to drop an album.

“Tory Lanez, poor decision brother,” Ross said on his Instagram story. “Dropping that project… Just outta respect for Breonna Taylor, bruh, we gotta respect these sisters. That ain’t how you address the accusations you facing. That was a poor choice, homie. You ain’t getting no money with that s–t.”

Let’s continue to protect and honor Black women.
