The son actually talks about how in that alien book he was reading, the guy's theory was the aliens would send scouts first. I forget the exact details, but that was definitely the intent. These were the scout aliens.
So what we need is a Signs 2 where they come back with protective gear and wipe us all out, then we have closure.
Run! They've got umbrellas!

This got me.

To be one of the funniest dudes around with KMK, Peele's movies are creepy as hell!

I wouldn't worry about it. There's not a ton to discuss about it yet. In a few days the discussion will die down

Seemingly everyone in this thread was expressing their opinions about Signs. I only chimed in when someone ELSE called out the people who don't buy the water thing. And instead of just complaining about it, I went into the logic of why I don't think the water thing works. And then you zero in on me, like you always do, for explaining my reasoning in opinionated fashion, as if no one else in the thread was expressing their views. It's always so weird to me when you do that.
You were picking scabs.

The movie doesn't need defending. It was well-received and Shyamalan's most successful movie behind The Sixth Sense.

People have already given you reasons why they think it was conceivable that aliens could have tried to invade a planet knowing or not knowing the risks of water. You pretty much implied that they were grossly reaching to even try to rationalize it.

And?

I expressed my opinion as to why the logic doesn't track for me. If that's "picking at scabs," so be it. Many others expressed the same opinion, others disagreed, stating why the logic tracks for them.

It's a plot point in a movie that we don't see eye-to-eye on, nothing more.

So why again am I the one getting called out? And why do you care enough to bring this up again 24 hours later? Especially when my post was in regards to Spilner, not you.

Because I'm not on the board 24/7 and I just read your comments. I'm expressing an opinion as well. Perhaps if you hadn't been so brash trying to make your point, some of us wouldn't take offense to it.

Examples:

Quote:
That they mastered interstellar travel and anti-gravity, but somehow either didn't know what water was, didn't know they were susceptible to it, or didn't think to wear waterproof gear or waterproof their craft, is just about the dumbest thing imaginable.

I really can't believe people are defending this or are trying to argue that it actually makes a lick of sense.

My sincerest apologies for calling the end of a movie dumb.

This has been a huge learning moment for me and it won't happen again.

I've got your back TC. It was dumb. The ending of Signs was dumb. Don't give in to the cancel culture!

And for the record I support water's right to exist in whatever form it identifies and feels most comfortable, be it solid, liquid, or vapor.

Still the scariest alien moment of all time, imho.

Somewhere in LA this morning a low-paid staffer for a marketing firm got all excited when some web-scraping algorithm spit out an alert about the unexpectedly heavy traffic the "Nope" trailer is generating on a sports website. Man is she going to be disappointed when she learns that, nope, it's really just a Signs thread.

The title of the film is very accurate. It is a big "NOPE" from me.

Only slightly less disturbing than the trailer for Lamb.

Looks great!

Except Keke Palmer. She might be on the same spaz level as Chris Tucker in Fifth Element.

With all this footage being dropped, is that a good sign or bad? If too much is revealed during trailers, what is left for the movie itself? And using a film technique no one has ever seen. sounds generic and something the average movie going John and Jane won't even pick up on.
I hope I'm wrong but this smells like huge hype machine because our movie is boo-boo.

This is from CinemaCon, where this week every major studio is debuting trailers/footage for all their big movies coming out over the next year or so, to theater owners and press. The entire point is to draw interest/create hype, and to show theater owners what they can look forward to showing in their theaters over the next year.

That, and we've had one mysterious teaser trailer for Nope so far. Today, Universal simply debuted the full trailer privately, for this specific audience. Then we, the public, will be getting the same trailer next month. It's just standard marketing + relatively normal pitch speak, when any movie uses new cameras or tries some slightly new technique or whatever.

That's great and all, but can we pick back up the Signs conversation? I feel like we haven't hit all the points enough times.
