Candyman (1992)
Added 2023-10-09 07:00:01 +0000 UTCThe ActionBoyz discuss Candyman.
Comments
One of my favorite things from the movie Candyman was Tony Todd talking about letting them use REAL bees on his body. He had in his contract that he would get $1000 for every bee sting. He ended up with $27,000. https://collider.com/candyman-tony-todd-27-bee-stings/

2023-10-23 03:58:52 +0000 UTCFortunately i've never had to do school bathrooms, just bars/restaurants. I can only imagine the horror that children would unleash.

2023-10-17 15:46:41 +0000 UTCAs a real deal union custodial engineer let me break it down. Elementary schools more gross stuff, poop on the walls, pee in the sinks, hot dogs in the urinals. Middle and High School more vandalism and graffiti. But boys rooms are waaay grosser compared to women’s restrooms. Women’s restrooms might be more cluttered, toilet paper on seats paper towels on the sink area. But boys bathrooms are always hands down worse. Still haven’t worked somewhere with the row of separate gender neutral stalls. But my fellow brothers in brooms dislike them cause the teenagers are always joking up inside them.

2023-10-13 22:41:20 +0000 UTCI can't believe that Rogers thought that Nightmare On Elm Street ripped of Candyman. The idea of Freddy being powered by fear was established in the first movie that came out 8 years prior to Candyman. Also Joe Pera is an American hero.

2023-10-11 18:36:53 +0000 UTCI remember Damnation Game as having something to do with cannibalism or something. I read Barker in High School, which was a very long time ago, and I've been afraid to go back into a lot of his books because I'm afraid my memories and reality are not at all in synch with each other.

2023-10-11 00:39:21 +0000 UTCIt's funny, I just saw Mishima a few weeks ago for the first time - fantastic movie about the most charismatic and talented ActionBoyz listener of all time - but I wasn't in love w/ that score either. I guess it's hard for me to put myself in 1985 when that kind of score would've been totally revolutionary.

2023-10-10 20:16:41 +0000 UTCThe Damnation Game gets off to a good start, and I liked the book overall. I retain so little of what I read lately that I can't recall how much I liked something if I read it a few years ago. I generally think highly of Clive Barker as a writer, though.

2023-10-10 18:23:07 +0000 UTCI have the same curiosity. I listened to Philip Glass more in high school, and I love the Mishima score.

2023-10-10 17:32:34 +0000 UTCCurious what type/era Philip Glass Rodgers is into - I always liked this soundtrack though I hadn't seen the movie, but I'm less enthusiastic about when he became a Soundtracks Guy in late 90s/early 00s.

2023-10-10 09:30:29 +0000 UTCRodgers talking about his Star Trek days like they’re in the past, plus the discussion about jokes being intensified in the edit makes me wonder if those things are connected. I currently have a team of psychopaths analyzing the data. Tony Todd was a Star Trek staple. He starred in one of the greatest DS9 episodes - The Visitor, which is a solid 42 minute watch even if you’re not into the mythos of the IP.

2023-10-10 09:24:06 +0000 UTCI had no idea Candyman was set in Liverpool! I’m now imagining that he got the name from always appearing wearing an early 90s Liverpool top from when Candy was their sponsor. Say his name five times in the mirror and he steals your car. 😆

2023-10-10 03:45:14 +0000 UTCI wonder whether any other female shadow wolves sense the sexual violence in the horror of candyman. For me the hook is waaaay worse than the bees. Him lifting up her dress with the hook is horrifying. It ties in with the racist narrative around the backstory in the sequel. And on another note, he is one of the villains that seem To make people incredibly horny.

2023-10-09 23:42:57 +0000 UTCThe urban legend class reminds me I took a class on Zombies in college. It was full of engaged students and we had to watch some zombie films. That’s where I learned modern zombie mythology came from Haitian slave owners who leveraged voodoo to scare their slaves into not killing themselves to get out of their living hell. “If you don’t work until you die naturally, you will be cursed to work the farm eternally as a zombie.”

2023-10-09 19:05:07 +0000 UTCLoved interstellar's score- possibly the best aspect of the movie. Haven't seen 28 days later in 21 years, I don't remember the music at all.

2023-10-09 17:57:19 +0000 UTCDisclaimer: Not a criticism/question. Rodgers mentioned how this score was too on the nose. I agree, and think two of the best modern scores are 28 Days Later and Interstellar. I feel like they were fucking awesome for being new for their respective genre. So Ben, what’s ur take on these scores?

2023-10-09 17:54:36 +0000 UTCThis movie came out at peak Judgement Night era of suburban people being afraid of the city. Cabrini Green was THE symbol of urban decay of Chicago at the time, there were news stories about it almost daily. It was referenced in causal conversation all the time, it was the kind of place your liar 8 year old friend from Schaumburg would claim he and his cousins almost got killed at. All of that context I can remember from when I was a kid really adds to the tone of the movie for me. Maybe some of the rowhouses are still there but the big towers got torn down in like 2009 and now there's a big shopping mall and a target, which is gentrification that would be too on the nose for a movie, which is maybe why they don't mention it in the new Candyman.

" I laughed so hard and my Fiancee who's from the East Coast asked me what was so funny. I told her I've never seen someone capture the Midwest so well in one sentence. It's something I could here my grandma ask my grandpa. Lol He really picks up on the little shit in interesting ways.

2023-10-09 13:29:25 +0000 UTCYoung people just use "stepmother stuck in the dryer" porn differently. It’s a totally different vibe. Where older people feel disconnected from others because of porn, younger people feel more connected. As a Gen Z / Millennial cusper, I can vouch that people are making bookmarks and building fulfilling boners with porn, streaming sites etc. I have a friend who’s a few years younger who I became friends with solely from porn. We live in the same state but different cities so we’ve only jerked off next to eachother 3 times but we’ve been friends online for years and we’re friends before ever meeting. Young people just have totally different boundaries and norms when it comes to porn. You can look at it from a negative perspective and see the bad or you can see the good. I do think porn has done bad — spreading misinformation about MILFs' peripheral vision and dexterity, wasting time, making some people jerk off so much their dick ends up chafed. But we’ve always had that stuff. Anyone who doesn’t get good things out of their porn just shouldn’t use it as much. I admit that even as a cusper, I’ve found it beguiling and jealousy inducing the way people only 3-4 years younger than me use porn. But at least I can admit it’s part jealousy.
