M3gan Welcome 2 the Hood

Imagine a father purchasing this doll for his daughter. He is estranged from his wife. The wife is pissed he bought a white doll not realizing the doll is ridiculously expensive and he is DESPERATE to prove his worth. All of the single Black mother tropes are at play. But the kid in a redolently white school. The passive aggressiveness Karens fake woke, the black father feeling like he is losing his daughter literally and spiritually. The important of being present in your child life the influence of social media and technology especially on a young Black girl seeking acceptance.


TOO HEAVY!
It's gotta be less serious for these people to get it.
Maybe the doll looks just like the daughter.
Father is a conservative businessman; mother is a hood thot (got with dude on his way up)
The doll teaches the daughter how to successfully navigate drastically different influences with code switching.
The doll is too extra with it in both directions - stands in for daughter in some scenes to cause drama/conflict to ultimate resolve.

This kind of reminded me of Upgrade in that it's a
low budget blumhouse film that ended up being fun.
They can definitely develop a franchise with this.
Horror flicks are always low budget..horrors and comedies.. they are cheap to make and make good flips.. 1-10 million dollars to make and can flip to 60 mill-100 mill sometimes more.. literally this been my argument forever on here that I would rather get a 200 million dollar budget and make a bunch of low budget horror and comedy flicks and flip them than 1 big budget comic book flick.. you literally make a shitload of content , you literally make more money altogether.. I literally said Netflix and other streaming sites/studios should make more low budget flicks so they could build bigger libraries.. give me saw, upgrade, 3 o clock high, I’m gonna get you sucka, etc over dr strange 2 any day

I thought it was out January 12 how is this slaying anything when it ain’t out? Also dolls ain’t scary what’s so damn scary about a doll? Just twist the head off or smash its head by stomping on it . I’d fuck that doll up

Not this one fam. This is a cybernetic doll. She could kill you in an instant by snapping your neck.



Cooper did a GREAT job with the script aand the direction is fun and scary too. Well done. The folks that redid Chucky are mad as hell right now that they didn’t go in this direction.

Anything coming to life would scare individuals because to them it would be part of the supernatural.. spirits, ghost, possessed things of that nature would cause fear in the majority of people.. than throw in the fact it got a weapon in its hand well most people lack hand to hand combat skills so a possessed being with a weapon would scare the shit out of a lot of people

Wait, written by a black women with an all cac cast? Naw I’ll pass.


Nah famo. She is the real deal. Been around for years. Did work on TRON uprising and Luke Cage. She is a geek aand can write for any audience. Thats what we want out there.


Hollywood will always say if you make something white it reaches a broader audience cause cacs have a bigger population in America.. also if you make it white other ethnicities will still go see it.. but if you make it black, Latino, Asian you pigeon hole the movie and it only tends to target certain demographics.. Megan would’ve been a black movie only black people and maybe some latins and a small demographic of cacs would go see it.. make it white and every demographic might go see it.. that’s literally how Hollywood would explain why they did it this way.. please do not shoot the messenger

This is exactly right. My FIRST TWO screenplays were written with black leads and nobody, black or white, returned a phone call, email or letter. Spike gave me some BS reply letter I’m sure a kid wrote up and Singleton didn’t respond at all.

I changed the leads to white people and the next month a few producers hit me back. Makes no sense and this was forever ago but things havent changed.

It’s just reality of the way white people view the world especially hollyweird.. they only see it through a cacs point of view.. kinda like ny.. they don’t think of Harlem, Washington heights, certain parts of Brooklyn or the bx, they think of midtown, downtown, 5th avenue shit like that..they don’t explore above 86 st and it’s obvious why cause they only care and think of the white areas.. so your scripts didn’t appeal to them cause they didn’t see themselves on the screen and didn’t feel a connection to the characters.. but when you make the characters pale it appeals to them and they could see it appealing to a demographic that they mostly care about which is white people.. this is 1 of the reasons why I be complaining/debating certain articles that were obviously thinking about white people and some individuals on here be thinking they talking about people as a whole.. like if it’s talking about struggling with dating or interacting with females it’s from a white point of a view they not thinking about any other race. But nigs don’t understand these cacs only see a white world

White humanity? Man, hell no. White people created self-checkout and because of it I got 4 lb of broccoli and 4 lb of fresh Ginger for the cost of 2.50.

Walk thru the grocery store produce section and find the number of an item that's insanely cheap by the pound. I picked limes which are $0.33/pound.

When inputting the info, select find produce, weight your ginger, fresh broccoli heads, bok choi, or whatever produce you like that's too expensive for you to pay full price

MAKE SURE THE LABEL IS EITHER OFF OR NOT FACING THE SCANNER OR THE JIG IS UP.

You can't ask them to take it off because you fucked up so you gotta pay full price (happened 2 weeks ago)

Put the item in the bag, pay, and on to the next item. Some stores have item look up, but some items have multiple varieties where one is cheaper (red delicious apples are significantly cheaper than honey crisp) so its better to have that number handy

I put mine in the food dehydrator so it can store forever

How do you keep your screenplays or your stories or story ideas from getting stolen? I know the poor man's copyright does not work I don't know if it ever has, but I have a ton of really great ideas so I was wondering if you were doing an elevator pitch how to keep that idea by getting stolen from the person you're telling it to?

This is a hard one famo. Thats the assumed risk in the business.

You have the mind of aa producer. Those are the idea men.

I never done a pitch but my boy did and he was actually pitching my script to HBO. They didn’t use any of my story but one exec did coverage (examined review with notes) and had compared it to the earlier seasons of the wire. That was a show and mine was a feature. Years later, I’m watching a British show called The Bodyguard and watch the intro to my old script play out before my eyes. :angry:

In a slightly different way with Rob Stark replacing my hero.


There is nothing I can do.

You should see the dozens upon dozens of C grade movies with terrible, shitty effects that literally mimic big budget films. They could try to fight it out with litigation but the cast is too much and the lawsuit actually brings free advertising to the crappy film.

Bro, when I tell you I have tons of ideas, I have literal tons of ideas.

I wrote a short story in 2016 that came in fourth place in an online contest. It is a black Harry Potter-type novel, but at the time it was just a short story written under the theme, "It grows on you."

I've read it various people, including my nieces and nephews to get them to go to bed, and almost every time someone says, "well where is the rest?"

The way I write short stories is taking an idea that is bigger than the allotted space. For that contest, be a lot of space was just 650 words, but how can you get someone interested in something that is 650 words?

You right for something bigger than that.

You write your snippet to be something greater than the 650 words you wrote for. In a sense, you act as if what you wrote is a snippet out of a larger piece. Instead of starting from the beginning, you're starting from Part D.

People read it and almost immediately want more, but there is no more. You started a book writing from the fourth chapter and it seemed interesting because the concept is interesting.

I have more than a few writings like that.

I have one that is loosely titled come up "bin Laden's not dead," that I may share with the board

This was better than I thought it could be. That being said, this movie does serious damage to itself in the last 3 minutes going from funny to GENERIC quickly. No need for a sequel.

So many movies do this. I should have gone to see it this week. So many times it's often because a director is told that 87 minutes is not long enough, it has to be 90. Other reasons is because the director just doesn't know when to say stop
