"Frenemy" is less a song and more a survival statement. It balances vulnerability and chaos, never glamorizing the disorder, but refusing to exile it either. What emerges isn’t metaphor or mask, but a person, fractured and whole at once.“A monster and a mirror. A scream that finally sounds like healing.” Issue: #15 Type: Essay 🔔Follow @NoMoviesAreBad on all social media. Watch Mindy Jackson's music video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U-H3PxS2OY

  2. FRIDAY THE 13TH: Abandoned Movie Treatment from 2017

    FRIDAY THE 13TH: Abandoned Movie Treatment from 2017

    Dear reader, I wrote this as a treatment for Paramount Pictures in 2017. I was hired to take the original story of the movie and make the lore of Jason work with a new origin story. After I concluded the job, I didn't hear anything about it until one day I saw that the movie was unfortunately canceled. All that is left of my draft is this story.You can still find pictures online of what my Jason would have looked like, as pre-production had begun. I'm unsure of how much of my treatment was used in that version, but from the studio notes I read, there was quite a bit of it. I have recently heard from some people in the business that the new series that Peacock is producing actually pulls from the abandoned story from the 2017 reboot. While I'm unsure of how much remained from mine in that iteration, I hope you still enjoi what mine would have looked like. Thanks for reading. - JH🔔 Subscribe for more poetic essays & cinematic reflections:@NoMoviesAreBad on all social media.This issue was brought to you in part by: FEAR STATENew music video out 8/2025

    BRING HER BACK: A Religious Film Like None Other

    In this poetic video essay, we look beyond the trailer of BRING HER BACK—A24's haunting new film that has been seen as a standard demonic possession horror. But this isn’t a movie about demons. It’s about angelic possession, grief, memory, and the subtle symbols that fill every frame. From Christian covenant imagery to a chilling communion of body and blood, this video explores how BRING HER BACK reframes horror through the lens of faith, sorrow, and maternal love.🔔 Subscribe for more poetic essays & cinematic reflections:@NoMoviesAreBad on all social media.

    Sinners: A Love Letter to Music's Resilience (An Essay on the Motion Picture)

    This poetic essay unearths the buried truths beneath the subtext of Ryan Coogler’s film Sinners, building toward a haunting reminder: the industry may crown its chart-toppers and mansion-dwellers, but the music? The music belongs to the people. And like the vampires it honors, real culture doesn’t die. It evolves.
