Unless you use the word "iconic". Then you deserve unsolicited pics.
I do love when people take any tiny opportunity to tear down something that by all accounts is quite good!
You're.... gonna need to rephrase this
I am aware that people have a habit of calling creators pretentious. My argument is that the vitriol being expressed over Jordan having pride in his achievements- down to the point of comparing him to a director with a bad record despite not having bombed yet- is inseparable from common displays of vitriol towards minority creators.
A non-white director stepped into a traditionally white genre.
It was good until the "other family" went into the house. Everything after that was awful.
So I guess the first 20 minutes were good?
The guy doesn't want a shit ton of unsolicited pics, what's the issue?
Why am I laughing so hard at this?
User warned: trolling
Cool, stop acting like your opinion is the objective truth. Add caveats into your language so you look less like a fool.
Edit: Mods don't know what trolling means lol

Cool. Stop being bothered by my opinion of a cheesy Hollywood horror movie. Remove the insults in your posts so you look less like a child.
It's a Halloween costume of characters he created. It's pretty strange he's "creeped out" by it.
It's so weird when people brag about being out of touch with popular things.
Simply letting you know that it's a real bad look for you, sorry!
I think the guy has every right to ask people to stop sending him pics if he doesn't want them for sure, I don't think it makes him an asshole, I do feel bad for people who the movie resonated with who went to lengths to dress up as it and sending it to the creator thinking he would appreciate it and to find out he doesn't want it. When you make something iconic it just kind of becomes part of culture so I could see a lot of good people being disheartened over it. But, like I said if he doesn't want it and he's asking nicely (and he did say it in a nice way) it would be cool if people just said "okay, we won't send pics".
If you're making a pychological thriller or a horror film and your "villains" don't creep you out, you're pretty bad at your job.
Yeah, it's not exactly like Us was the most deep, profound piece of fictional media that's beyond reproach and shouldn't be touched. He'd have a case with Get Out, this though, nah.
Thats not bragging. I've never heard of it. It's weird when people like you cant understand something as simple as that. I've heard of his other movie because it was extremely popular and it was everywhere.
It's not unheard of to receive psychological effects from your own work. Dave Theurer, one of the main programmers behind the old arcade game Missile Command, had nightmares working on the game where he envisioned his home town, friends and family included, suffering constant nuclear strikes.
I'm simply letting you know that you being so mad at me because I didn't like a movie as much as you do is... a real bad look for you, sorry! And I guess now it's time to move on. All this because of a cheesy Hollywood horror movie.
I mentioned Scott Cawthon earlier. Fun fact: He had nightmares of Bonnie being in his room despite the door being locked. That's why he says Bonnie terrifies him the most, and also how he thought of the loss mechanic in FnaF 1 where the door disables if an animatronic gets inside while you weren't looking.
The movie was a disappointment. Coming from the highs of get out it was definitely a more ambitious sophomore undertaking that didn't quite land the landing
Peele: I'd rather not have unsolicited pics of horror movie stuff that's left me with emotional baggage.
Era: Your movie was bad.
Also Era: His trajectory is similar to this other brown director, because we can only compare minority to minority. There are zero white directors to which I'd compare this person.
I love Peele don't get me wrong he's the most ambitious director out there. His ideas and themes, makes someone like George Miller look like a amateur, but Us was still dissapointing
George Miller is an incredible director don't get me wrong it's just his themes are no where near as ambitious as Peele's
Going by a lot of these posts here, if Peele has to jump off social media due to constant harassment, we know who our first suspects are.
NIgga's speaking up for themselves in the face of a flood of unsolicited pics. Might as well be a famous sex working lady and say "I would like to not get unsolicited dick pics. Thank you"
Uppity ass bitch. How dare!!!!!!!
Can't stop the tide.
Lol I see you clarified this immediately but why you gotta do my boy George like that and not some actual hack
Michael Myers was part of something that is considered the movie that revolutionized slashers
Get Out and Us are good movies, but they do not have the same impact as Halloween
i was talking purely themes... in terms of production Fury Road destorys any of Peele's films or any other film of this decade
and is where your so called objective statement that Us has more meaning for black people than Halloween?
You're delusional if you think Get Out won't be looked back on the way Halloween is now. The sound of a spoon scraping the side of a teacup makes you think of the movie immediately and everyone knows what the sunken place is, like do you guys ever leave resetera?
I think that Jordan Peele takes his material seriously. Like to him, 'Us' isn't meant to be a horror movie, but his personal thoughts personified about society and about a different world which he sees possible.
So I don't blame him for feeling uncomfortable about this.
So I don't blame him for feeling uncomfortable about this.
I don't think it will..Halloween literally established most of the horror tropes we see. Teenagers, final girl etc. etc. Get Out is an incredible film I don't see it having the same effect on the genre
why is this even a stance? They are two completely different films.
This is like saying in terms of production LOTR destroys any of the blair witch films.
It's not the same kind of film bruh. And it's a horror that speaks about completely different topics than slasher flicks. Come on.
You all are working SO HARD to devalue this mans work. Never did you do that for any other horror creators themes that you could relate to. GFTO with this shit.
