Candyman (Nia DaCosta, August 27, 2021) Movie • Page 3

i simply will not say his name

 

There's no way you're getting anyone that grew up in the '90s to do this. Hell no.

 

When are reviews popping up?

 

it’s weird that they haven’t by now

 

embargo lifts tomorrow, there's no way they're bad so it's interesting that they're doing that

reviews going live in a few hours

 

Interesting piece —

‘Candyman’ Director Bernard Rose Details His Unmade Sequel in More Depth Than Ever Before [Exclusive]

 

Is this film exclusively in theaters this Friday or is going to release online somewhere as well? Not sure if I want to pay to see this in theaters but I’d watch it online.

 

Theaters only.

 

with everything being on a 45 day run, I don't mind waiting to download things any more.

 

that's a pretty good read and all but the Jack the Ripper idea sounds... bad lmao

 

So Universal is a 45-day window, right? How did Stillwater end up on VOD in like 2 weeks? Is it because Focus also helped release it?

 

That Bernard Rose interview is cool as hell.

 

Reviews are starting to come out and they’re sounding pretty good

 

yeah, reviews are overwhelmingly good

 

will probably see this Saturday morning

 

Sunday at noon.

Still not gonna say his name, though.

 

One ticket for the bee guy, please.

 

had a couple issues with this but it’s solid

 

can't wait

 

I’m with David Sims on this. It has an interesting angle on its take of Candyman and the character that’s obsessed with him this time around (a black artist living in the yuppie ashes of Cabrini-Green), has some great artistic flourishes, but it is way too overstuffed with ideas that shortchange the main characters in the end.

I’m not the biggest fan of the first, but it had a community that felt alive in Cabrini-Green, fantastic production design and Tony Todd was a great pick and horny as hell as Candyman. This is mostly missing that and I feel like that’s a noticeable mistake.

 

Gonna go tonight unless the theater gets too packed. So far it's just me and one other seat taken.
