Prom Night (1980)

In today's review, I find drama and murder clash with the most important night of a seniors life. As I attempt a #positive review of the 1980 slasher Prom Night #LeslieNielsen #JamieLeeCurtis #DebbieGreenfield #CaseyStevens #BrockSimpson #EddieBenton

Childhood can be challenging on its own, yet if you can survive the perils of youthful naïvety, you get a dose of the drama and danger that is present in your adult years. These scars, and traumas can stick with of, moulding us into the people that we are today, if we make it out that is. In 1980, as the slashers started to pick up steam, a high school in Canada dealt with a buried secret, and a…

[Had to do at least one movie for spooky season. I went physical with this one and watched the new 4K remaster from the Criterion Collection. It's also available in HD via The Criterion Channel (along with the full extras package from the physical release) until at least the end of November 2023 or you can stream the film in HD on its own on Peacock.]

Herein lies the concern that many others in the disability community have with so-called "positive stereotyping." "More than being inaccurate," the disabled scholar David Bolt writes in "The Metanarrative of Blindness," "cultural representations of extraordinary senses serve, at best, to render magical the talent and achievements of people who have visual impairments and, at worst, to justify the ascription of various animalike characteristics" to them.

"This cultural expectation to be a 'super-crip,' or to turn some experience of disability into a superpower, circulates in a lot of the narratives we tell ourselves," Kolb says. She tells me, "I used to make jokes about becoming 'bionic woman,' like I was getting access to a new superpower or a new range of sounds and sensations after getting my cochlear implant several years ago."

Ultimately, Kolb came to believe this resulted from societal pressures for disability to be "an experience that in some way must transcend itself, or lead to 'overcoming' technological interfaces or superpowers of some kind, rather than being just an ordinary part of life and ordinary human experience." She insists that "we need to learn more ways to talk about it in an ordinary, everyday way" — largely so that people can take pride in their identities as disabled, rather than feeling like they're doing something wrong if they can't cure it.

Because I'm trans and gay, I have this weird thing where I don't know if I'm attracted to someone or want to be them. I had this a lot when I was younger , as what I thought were crushes are actually gender envy.

I remember being obsessed with male fictional characters, and I wanted to dress and be like them. So I made a venn diagram... these are ppl of the top of my head and probably not all.

(Probably spelling mistakes I made this in about a minute)

When I’m gone i want every future American child on earth who goes to school to know that this place was ran by shitty people. Shitty people who were literally nicknamed named “genocide Joe”, you don’t get a fucking nickname like that by doing your job correctly. I hope that America changes in the future. I hope that people remember what our government has done wrong and vows not to let their government simply let almost 30,000 innocent men, women, and children die off in the most horrendous ways imaginable. These are just statistics man. These are people who were painters, bakers, musicians and more. People who were excited to go to their siblings baby shower, who were anxious that their school crush was gonna reject them, people who were violently grieving before this genocide, and found happiness in the mundane. These people went to schools and made plans for the future, made dreams to help their families, and so much fucking more. You cannot allow this. You cannot condone this. You cannot believe that a newborn child who lived miles upon miles across the ocean away from you was gonna grow up to be some super villain and deserved it. You cannot believe that. You’d have to be the stupidest most willfully ignorant person on earth to believe a five year old deserved to die in an air strike.

***this is not a place to promote antisemitism. I have seen many people use this genocide as an excuse to be antisemitic.

This is part 6 of a poll endeavor to discover who is considered to be the best Marvel casting choice.

I will do this until I’ve done the entire MCU before moving on to the Fox and Sony universes.

Please stick around and help me in this effort as the larger the sample size the more accurate the results will be.
