Y'all are gonna leave my girl JHUD alone! ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ She is not a good interviewer, we've gathered and spoken about it already. People don't go there for that. They're there for the Spirit Tunnel and whatever the hell THIS is. It works for her.
Representation and visibility are incredible things, and I love them. Township kids can imagine themselves as mermaids and superheroes now.
In my self-indulgence, I would love to tap into a more darker rep: a township sociopath story. We Need to Talk About Kevin, but Black!

Black queer people need to support black queer queer films because nobody else will.
Watch a film about a black man who wants to be a giant Octopus and a film about a black trans woman who has to decide between a life with or without the man she loves.

After years of closures of some beloved print titles, SA's magazine scene is getting one back.
Clipping Point Publishing and Hearst Magazines International will launch Cosmopolitan throughout Feb & March 2027 across digital, social media and monthly print editions.
This pleases me and my homegirls very much! ๐ญ

People still asking where Captain Marvel was during Infinity War missed three basic timeline facts that the movies already explained.
Carol gave Nick Fury a cosmic pager in 1995 strictly for planetary emergencies and Fury didn't actually press the button until the Infinity War post-credits scene, after the Snap had already happened!
The Black Order attacked New York one afternoon, and Thanos snapped in Wakanda the very next day. Unless someone paged her, she had zero way of knowing Thanos was on Earth.
Just days before Infinity War, Thanos decimated Xandar and wiped out the Nova Corps for the Power Stone. As she told Rhodey in Endgame: "There are a lot of other planets in the universe, and unfortunately, they didn't have you guys."
The better question isn't where Captain Marvel was, it's why Nick Fury waited until people were turning to dust to finally hit the pager!

Is crazy that the only person who understood and comforted them was, for her, a version from another universe, and for him, a version that marked the beginning of his creation. The fact that these two are so alike,even in the way they cope w grief is incredible. LEGENDARY LOVERS
An important mention from this month's watch goes to Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace by Rob Diamond, about a sickly little girl who befriends a criminal when they share a hospital ward. It's not the best film you'll ever watch, but it will make you feel things. I loved it.
