Comic Con Dress Up: Twin Peaks

I have never dressed up for any convention before, and having obtained tickets this year to Comic Con, I figured I would dress up! The Twin Peaks aesthetic is filled with warm colors and plaid, as it takes place in the great northwest of the U.S. There’s also a pinch of vintage, with the major influence of the mysterious film noir, with the detective in a dapper suit and the women in vintage inspired clothing. I decided to go as Audrey Horne. Here’s what I wore:

Top: Hanes (Amazon)
Skirt: Hell Bunny (Unique Vintage)
Flats: Crocs (most comfortable shoes for a Con!!)

Dale Cooper Pin: TheSilverSpider (Etsy)

Get Out (2017).

Image
Jordan Peele is the director of Get Out. You may know him as one of the lead actors from the hit comedy series Key and Peele. Like Key and Peele, this film focuses on the experiences of a young African American people. It displays the anxieties and traumas that many black men endure in today’s America. This includes topics of poverty, violence, interracial relationships, slavery, and the dehumanization and objectification of black bodies.  The story centers on Chris and his newly founded relationship with his white girlfriend Rose. Rose’s parents invite the two to stay with the family for the weekend at their cabin in the woods. On their way driving to the cabin, the couple accidentally hit a deer in the woods. As an omen of what is about to come, the meeting of the parents is anything but ordinary. The father is extremely interested in hunting, the mother is a hypnotist, and they have two black housekeepers who dress in uniform from the 1950’s. I really appreciate t...

Bird Box (2018)

Bird  Box is an intense apocalyptic horror movie. It is based on the premise of a worldwide invasion of creatures who once seen, will induce its victims into a trance and commit suicide. A real life boggart if you will. Sandra Bullock plays a pregnant survivor, and shows her journey to stay alive along with the various people she encounters. Like A Quiet Place, this film plays on intense situations that allows the survivors to prevail without using one of their keen senses, in this case eyesight. The film has nail biting situations and found it to be well done, but I was left wanting more.  (Spoilers Ahead)  I had hoped for a creature reveal, or more background on the monsters. Were they aliens, or just highly intelligent creatures? Why were some people able to see them with the naked eye? Was there a purpose for this? How was the blind facility able to avoid these people? Overall this was an entertaining movie that could have had more depth in terms of cha...

Hereditary

Hereditary is an independent horror movie released by the movie studio A24, which has produced other amazing indie horror films including The Witch .  This film is a thrill ride with twists and turns at every corner. It has a deep level of emotion in that it touches on the distressing impact of death of a family member, and how numbing life can be in the days that follow. I have not felt the same level of depression and apathy in a movie since The Babadook . The other portion of the movie is supernatural chaos. As I have mentioned in other posts, I am always a fan of films in which you are not sure if the characters are dreaming or awake. This movie made me feel uncomfortable and on the edge of my seat the entire time. The star that shines in the movie is Toni Collette, who plays the main character Annie.   Toni Collette is a fantastic actress in that she is able to display a full range of emotions within seconds. Her facial expressions, voice changes, and body movement i...
