‘There are two ways people with their hands tied react. Some are willing to bite off their own thumbs just to be free. And then there are others who sit quietly, hands behind their backs, just waiting. Waiting for someone to come along and undo the knot. Safe to say you wind up solidly in the latter category, yes?’ - Colonel Jarrett’s last words 💀

Aaron Douglas, Into Bondage, 1936, oil/canvas (National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.)

In 1936, Douglas was commissioned to create a series of murals for the Texas Centennial Exposition in Dallas. Installed in the elegant entrance lobby of the Hall of Negro Life, his four paintings charted the journey of African Americans from slavery to the present. Considered a leader of the Harlem Renaissance, the cultural phenomenon that promoted African and African American culture as a source of pride and inspiration, Douglas was an inspiring choice for the project.

The Hall of Negro Life, which opened on Juneteenth (June 19), a holiday celebrating the end of slavery, was visited by more than 400,000 fairgoers over the course of the five months that the Exposition was open to the public. This commemoration of abolition, and the mural cycle in particular, served as a critical acknowledgment of African American contribution to state and federal progress. Unfortunately, of the four original paintings only two, Into Bondage and Aspiration (Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco), remain.

Final Destination 2 (2003)

⭐️⭐️⭐️ .5

I’m aware I am watching these films out of order, I still can’t find the first one on Criterion on Demand, but c’est la vie.

Maybe it’s because I always believe my friends, but I would never have let my friend drive onto the highway after hearing her vision. Wack. Her friends were not there for her.

I can’t help but feel like this whole series is like that text post about Apollo gifting people with Sight.

(Edit: THIS ONE!)

Also very wild to say “have you noticed anything ironic?” to a person that believes they’re going to die. That’s pretty twisted.

Also, sometimes, it’s not fate coming to get you, it’s a lack of kitchen safety and WHIMS knowledge. It all gets us in the end. Regardless, the tension in each death scene is so worth it.

I think that this twist on the original narrative was compelling but sometimes the actors couldn’t sell it. See: “See what? 😐 Pigeons? 🤨” and “😃 Tim! 😐” Other actors were putting their whole pussy into their performance to the point of near camp. But I think that horror movies like this make a person like myself easier to digest the horror.

You should watch this film for:

The yearly reminder that WHIMIS safety is indeed important

Edging. You get it if you have seen a single movie in this franchise.

The mid 00s dialogue, with gems like “Suck my junk, biatch!”

Similar titles:

The rest of the Final Destination Franchise (ig)

Escape Room (2019) (deals with a lot of planned horror, and asks the question ‘who will make it out alive?’)

MWW Artwork of the Day (2/3/23) Aaron Douglas (African-American, 1899-1979) Building More Stately Mansions (1944) Oil on canvas The Rhode Island School of Design, Providence

Douglas's art fused modernism with ancestral African images, including fetish motifs, masks, and artifacts. His work celebrates African American versatility and adaptability, depicting people in a variety of settings —- from rural and urban scenes to churches to nightclubs. His illustrations in books by leading black writers established him as the black artist of the period. Later in his career, Douglas founded the Art Department at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. The style Aaron Douglas developed in the 1920s synthesized aspects of modern European, ancient Egyptian, and West African art. His best-known paintings are semi-abstract, and feature flat forms, hard edges, and repetitive geometric shapes. Bands of color radiate from the important objects in each painting, and where these bands intersect with other bands or other objects, the color changes.

Douglas is one of the featured artists in this MWW exhibit/gallery: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.343798162392226&type=3
