"I've not seen another movie that has our language spoken correctly," said Cynthia Massey, a member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and a cultural consultant for "Sinners."

Massey runs the tribe's Chahta Immi Cultural Center.
'Sinners' Puts 'Truth on Screen' For The Mississippi Choctaws
For many Mississippi Choctaws, “Sinners” is the first time they've heard their language and seen their culture accurately portrayed on screen.

Because it's popular to share sources to build your own refs outside of A/ ridden platforms, here's my drive of pictures I took at armor exhibitions. I took these with my phone, some of them suck but they are pretty detailed. You're welcome to use them as ref.

"Withered Hill" is a sharp, intriguing and unsettling slice of folk horror with a clever and satisfying ending.

And only 99p on Kindle rn, I believe! Dig in.

Why pay for streaming that doesn't offer old movies when you can stream archival materials for FREE? I have an entire thread dedicated to 100% free, no signup silent film streaming courtesy of libraries, national archives, film foundations and more!
Bringing my FREE STUFF thread over.

Lots of archives, national film institutes, nonprofits and others have made collections of silent films available for free, no signup needed.

I have the links

it's particularly weird when people confront a horror creator about their discomfort, because horror is a genre which is specifically designed to make you uncomfortable. you don't have to ENJOY it, but you don't get to say "you did this wrong" just because discomfort wasn't what you were seeking
Discomfort is not harm. Internalize that.

Discomfort is not harm, and if you're made uncomfortable by the work of a total stranger who does not know you exist, you can just process on your own and move on. You do not need to make it anyone's "fault" and no one needs to be "held accountable" for it.
If you dislike something or it makes you uncomfortable, that’s okay! But you don’t need to let the creator know. You don’t need to let anyone know, honestly. You can just ignore it and move on with your life. Fandom is about enjoying the things you like, not bashing the things you hate.
