There's just something about that kid from Stranger Things that makes me want to watch him. It is funny that initially you hated his character, but now everyone I know has him as their favorite.

I'm certainly not going to see this in theaters, but I will definitely watch this, probably the first day it is streaming. It looks like fun.

Ghetto thing love interest, guess the pendulum isnt swinging as much as some had hoped

I wonder how long it'll be before Hollywood lets a white guy have a white love interest again?

This is terrible. The edit is really bad, and/or the direction is bad because there are a few nonsensical things that happen. He needed to dial his ghetto up to ten if she was going to comment on it, and naming him after a black Renaissance character that nobody gives two shits about, then saying it's a really famous book is an incredibly odd choice. The story makes absolutely no sense, even for slop, 50's throwback horror, as they establish the rules in the first minute of discussing the thing, then they immediately break them for the rest of the movie.

Apparently, the writer is the fourth-highest-earning Hollywood writer of all time. The script either didn't really make sense to the director, or the editor chopped this up and left exposition details on the floor because some wires got crossed somewhere

The twist is that he's super ghetto and she's hyper refined and knows electrical engineering because she's working on a veterinary degree.

Yeah its one of the rules of this trope. They put a black girl as the love interest but she doesnt act anything like an actual black girl, she barely looks like one.

The rule is very simple. They take the "free-spirited" personality type classically associated with redheaded white girls in literature and movies, but they cast a black girl in the role. The ol switcheroo. Its been going on something like 20 fucking years and I'm still sitting here trying to figure out who they think theyre fooling.
