Pretty much sums up my thoughts. Kaluuya was giving off a Clint Eastwood vibe saying a whole lot without really saying anything. He could raise one eyebrow half a millimeter and convey so much.
I appreciated the irony of the Sheriff Jupiter balloon being the "weapon" that took down the alien. I thought for sure it was going to be Angel wrapped in the barbed wire fence that was going to shred it from the inside.
Tuesday is discount day at our local theater so we hit our, "Sure, why not?" films on Tuesday . Saw Everything Everywhere All At Once and Deep in the Heart on Tuesdays, too. Haven't been disappointed yet. And I get popcorn regardless.

I saw this last weekend, never commented. I enjoyed watching the movie, but it did have flaws in my opinion - mainly found the ending a bit weak. It was like Jaws in that the unknown of what was out there, and learning it was smart, and the building dread throughout the movie was much more fun than the shark blowing up.

I always seem to find more humor in these Key movies than others, I'm laughing when others in the theater don't seem to be. A lot of the Gordy stuff was funny to me.

In the Gordy scene, How was the tennis shoe balancing on its end

what am i supposed to make of that sorcery

---

In Jupe's *waiting for the other shoe to drop* he never looks Gordy in the eyes, and is spared from the chimp's carnage, leading to his complicated relationship with the UFO and his trying to complete the proverbial fist-bump. Jupe thought he controlled Gordy at the end, and thought he could control the UFO in the same way.

Finally caught this on peacock and was disappointed there wasn't more discussion about it. Also curious as to how the shoe was standing up like that.

Movie was really meh to me about the time that the monster thing opened up in to the big giant tarp thing. Looked like geisha hair floating around.

I wanted to like this but it just fell flat for me at the end. I thought the actors were all great. Everything is better when the entity was still partially unknown. When it turns out to be an autonomous, carnivorous textile I just got pissed and I still am. For a movie that I thoroughly enjoyed to take a sharp left turn and become what it turned out to be I am just disappointed. Everything I thought was smart and unique just kind of vanished. It felt like he had a movie that was 80% done but couldn't quite land it. The whole raining blood scene was a rip off of War of the Worlds.

I will say DK is becoming a must-watch actor for me, he's great in everything. And there's this comedic edge at the heart of what he does, I can't look away if he's on screen because I don't want to miss what he does next. I don't know of another British actor that's this much fun playing American characters.

Held my attention but was a long trip to nowhere.

There was a lot of good in this movie but I still don't quite know what it all meant. I do like the Jordan Peele makes whatever TF he wants though and doesn't seem to care if it gets awards or not.

I loved this movie. There was a lot of dread in this. Very effective for me

My thoughts as well.

I think the confusion may be in assuming "polarizing" in the sense that the movie says/potrays some things people don't like and are offended by when it's more referring to "polarizing" in that some may think its a hunk of garbage.

I definitely fall in the latter camp.

Get Out was good, but certainly not an all-timer.

Us was beautifully shot but didn't really seem to stick the landing.

Nope was kind of just a mess.

I especially liked the tweet where the person says it surpasses the Exorcist, then goes on to say it's the best films ever!

Jordan Peele movies always look they are going to be awesome from the trailers but then when you actually watch the movie, the whole thing falls apart.

Based on this brilliant review, decided to look up other tweets….another all time best. Stunning that he has 13 followers.

" REVIEW: BEYOND TERRIFYING & SURPRISING. A very VIOLENT horror pic that keeps you on the edge of your seat & beats you off. This isn't just another scary movie, it's one of the BEST films ever! WOW. A fitting end to her journey while also setting up what's next #SXSW"

Peele is the new M. Night Shyamalan.

Damn. That's actually pretty accurate.

LMAO at the pages and pages of tweets in this thread overhyping this movie and talking about how great it is. Peele is the new M. Night Shyamalan. He's so damn overrated.

---

Watched it last night on Prime and said this exact thing to my wife. I do like the main guy ever since his black mirror episode and Sicario. But yeah the twist in this one was kinda out there.

Killer Kites from Outer Space

Wife and I watched this last night. She thought it was good and the ending was tense. I thought it was meh.

The kids in the barn scene was scary. Didn't really care for the flying butthole. Once we knew it was the alien and not a ship, and not looking at it kept you alive, I just didn't care anymore.

I'm more interested in why the shoe was standing on end. Jupe also had it in a display case.

beanbean makes a valid point about fake Twitter hype. It's really just more advertising. It reminds me of commercials back in the day where they showed regular people claiming how good a movie after just seeing it…if you ever saw a commercial like that 99% of the time the movie stunk.

Obviously there is a ton of hyperbole in these reviews. Comparisons to Jaws in several tweets? Do they send out talking points to these "reviewers".

Jaws is one of the greatest movies ever made, Nope is Ok, but will be mostly forgotten in a year.

Who needs Nopes ending explained? Who is really pondering the deeper meaning of Nope for days?

Here's the kicker, they are most likely bots. So fake ads by fake people about a movie that was a ripoff of Jaws but done poorly people will keep throwing money at Peele to make more so just stop watching his movies and he will fade away.
