Here's my Letterboxd review of the very funny film The Blackening. #HorrorMovieMonth

A ★★★½ review of The Blackening (2022)

Much like the Scream series, The Blackening makes fun of horror movie tropes but from a black perspective. A group of friends meet in a rental house in the woods for a reunion but end up being hunted ...

A line from The Blackening presented with no context: "you smell like dick. What the fuck you been doing?"

I'm looking forward to The Chair Company premiere tonight on HBO. Tim Robinson is insanely funny and probably just insane.

Yesterday I got a covid booster and flu shot. I also watched Talk To Me (HBO) right before I went to bed. I didn't sleep well and I blame both things. Here's my Letterboxd review.

A ★★★★ review of Talk to Me (2022)

Shortly into this film I realized it was Australian (cause accents. Can't fool me) and I immediately thought "oh, this might be good." Horror films from other countries often don't have all of the tro...

What a clickbait headline. It would have taken fewer letters to just put the second show in the sentence. TV Line, you suck.

It's time for my annual reminder that a black t-shirt and cat ears is not a Halloween costume.

Coming up next (maybe tonight if the covid booster doesn't put me to sleep) on my #HorrorMovieMonth list is the 2022 film Talk To Me.

If you have AMC+ (which includes Shudder) there's a cool 10 ep series called Horror's Greatest in which each episode discusses a different topic. Plenty of cool clips from the movies. I'm watching the first ep called Tropes and Cliches.

My reviews could make or break careers, I'm tellin' ya!

I don't think it was necessarily a one star movie. I've worked in video production, and studied films since I was a kid, so something that might annoy me might not even be noticed by a lot of others. Other films may have subject matters that don't appeal to me at all. So I don't want to be unfair. 😂

I was watching tv and paused it to go do something and the pause symbol gave this lady a Hitler stache.

David Jett @davidjett.bsky.social · 1d

I wish there were a star rating that meant "I can't really review this film because the directing and editing style annoyed me so much I turned it off after 15 minutes" cause if there were, I would give it to The Substance.

I've always considered it canon no matter what anyone said.

As if downtown Nashville hadn't gotten sufficiently annoying over the last decade, here comes this to seal the deal.

My review of Woman In Cabin 10 gives me a chance to explain what I call a "snuffleupagus movie." #Netflix

A ★★½ review of The Woman in Cabin 10 (2025)

This film has been compared to Hitchcock, which I only saw in passing, so it didn't remind me of Hitchcock while I was watching until I remembered that. The basic plot style is similar but it definite...

I didn't come up with the wording of this movie star rating system, but I follow this for my Letterboxd reviews.

I told the pharmacist "Pfizer always make me stay in the bed watching tv the whole day, but that's my normal state so it didn't impact my lifestyle too much."

David Jett @davidjett.bsky.social · 1d

Just got my flu and covid booster. Every covid shot I've ever had has been Pfizer which makes me feel worn out the next day. My pharmacy had Moderna for the first time this year, so I got that one as I've heard the side effects aren't as bad. We'll see.

I wish I was surprised that Deadline claims it asked questions that were actually asked by me and other journalists at this James Gunn press conference. No one from Deadline even *submitted questions* for it (and I know, because I moderated). This is just brazen and sad.
