R.A. the Rugged Man

Let’s put this dishonest “double standard” argument to rest once and for all. Blackface is not harmless imitation, it is rooted in a long, ugly history of minstrel shows where white performers caricatured Black people as lazy, ignorant, criminal, and subhuman to justify slavery, segregation, and systemic oppression. It wasn’t just offensive, it was a tool used to normalize white supremacy and shape how Black people were treated in real life. There is no equivalent history where Black people used “white face” to dominate, dehumanize, or oppress white people. There is no history of laws, policies, or violence reinforced by caricatures of white inferiority. So no, a white person adorning Blackface it is not the same as a Black comedian cosplaying a white woman. That’s not a double standard, that’s the difference between oppression and satire, between punching down and punching up, between racism and comedy. Calling that hypocrisy isn’t insight, it’s gaslighting. You don’t get to ignore history, erase power dynamics, and then pretend the two are equal. Miss me with the false equivalence.

@ILoveHorror7 Deborah Foreman's performance 🔥🔥🔥 one of my favorites

April Fool's Day (1986) A unique 1980s slasher-thriller that, despite mixed initial reception, has earned a strong cult following for its clever twist on the slasher genre, "no-gore" approach, and witty screenplay. Directed by Fred Walton (When a Stranger Calls) and produced by Frank Mancuso Jr. (Friday the 13th), the film was designed as a fun, PG-rated slasher that subverted audience expectations. The film was a moderate box office success. Reviews were mixed at the time. Many horror fans were disappointed by the lack of traditional slasher gore, while others criticized the "gotcha" twist. Director Fred Walton noted that Paramount struggled to market the film, selling it as a typical slasher, which led to audience disappointment when the "deaths" turned out to be fake. April Fool's Day found its true footing on VHS and in late-night cable TV airings, where audiences developed a greater appreciation for its wit and performances. It is highly regarded as a "proto-Scream" or a "slasher for people who don't like slashers," often compared to Clue. The cast is frequently praised for being highly likable, including Deborah Foreman as Muffy and Thomas F. Wilson (known as Biff in Back to the Future) as Arch. Amy Steel was cast in the role of Kit Graham at the specific suggestion of producer Frank Mancuso Jr.. Mancuso had previously worked with Steel on Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981), where she played the iconic "Final Girl" Ginny Field. Her casting was a deliberate nod to her status as a horror icon. By casting a well-known "Final Girl" from a major slasher franchise, the filmmakers subverted audience expectations, as the movie itself was designed to do the same with traditional slasher tropes. Despite being "born" into a heavily oversaturated market, April Fool's Day has become a beloved annual viewing tradition for many horror fans.

Crash (1996) is Cronenberg operating on a wavelength almost no one else would dare touch. That icy calm is part of the shock, and it came from him shooting the film like a straight drama instead of a provocation.
