Really liking these comparisons to CE3K, which for a certain part of scared the ever living crap out of 10-year-old me.

Can't wait for this
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

Nope. I cant even tell you what the last movie i saw in theaters was. It's been that long. I used to go several times a month.

Go see TG:M. Like, right now. There is zero chance you'll be disappointed. Then follow it up with Nope this weekend.

Kids, I guess. I have a 7 year old and a 3 year old. I took my kid to see the Incredibles 2 when he was 3 or 4. Bought popcorn, candy, drink, first movie.

10 minutes into the movie and he said he wanted to go home because it was too loud. He was serious. So off we left.

A combination of that and also I dont think Hollywood makes movies that I would am dying to go see, but as TCTTS said, I might have to check out TG:M and Nope.

Man, despite all those reviews being seemingly positive, there were a lot of red flags in the wording of their tweets. "Confusing", "not what you expect", "head-scratcher", "divisive", "taking a big swing", "felt challenged", "enter with an open mind", "meta", "will piss people off". I lost faith in Jordan Peele after Us. I was hoping for a return to more basic storytelling like with Get Out, as opposed to the fever dream of Us, but I'm worried after reading those tweets that this will be more of the same.

Yeah, it's hard to tell. I thought parts of Us - maybe the first half or so - were incredible, but the second half/everything after the big reveal was so incredibly stupid, IMO, and made absolutely no sense. To the point where it made me retroactively hate everything else. Peele's issue seems to be laying the metaphor on way too thick at times, where it becomes more important than the plot, and it's literally 50/50 as to whether it's going work or not. It worked in Get Out, it didn't work in Us. So I have no idea which way Nope is going to fall.

Yeah, the second half of Us was an absolute mess that sacrificed a coherent story for the message, then laid on tons of contextually unnecessary exposition that just lead to even more questions.

This is likely a movie I won't trust critic reviews (I think Us is 94% on RT) due to it undoubtedly taking big risks, being something completely different, metaphor heavy, and having excellent cinematography which all tend to be critic pleasers rather than crowd pleasing aspects of a movie. I'll wait to see audience reactions before deciding to see this most likely.
