Horror, much like comedy, is subjective. But even keeping that in mind, it’s hard to be prepared for The Roots’
#JamesPoyser’s favorite scary movie.
#JimmyFallon was blindsided by the keyboardist’s pick on the latest episode of “The Tonight Show.”
“The scariest movie I’ve ever seen has to be ‘The Notebook,’” he confidently said as the studio audience laughed. The crowd and Fallon may have been giggling, but Poyser came prepared with a pretty compelling argument. As the lights darkened and a spotlight shown on him, Poyser took off.
“There’s nothing scarier than the fragility of memory, the potential loss of love and the torment of family disapproval of the person you believe is the one,” Poyser confidently said. “Allie’s choice between Noah, her passionate lover, and Lon, the representation of social expectations, kept me on the edge of my seat the entire film. Ultimately, love is the thing that is the most horrifyingly bittersweet.”
