Just want to point something out real quick so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle: The life-changing alien experience that Jupe had six months ago was the same life-changing experience that killed OJ and Em's dad and threw everything into disarray. He saw the monster suck up some random dude and decided to buy the show ranch and rebrand it as Jupiter's Claim after he saw the alien. He saw something incredible and decided to stake his fortune on it, risking whatever he had left from his acting career. Whereas for OJ all he saw was of random bits of metal raining from the sky and killing an innocent bystander, the aftermath. (Even Ghost, the most valuable horse on the ranch, got wounded). Also, when I was watching the Otis Senior death scene I imagined that it would be bullets from an Air Force jet that was pursuing the UFO falling uncaringly onto the landscape below. I did not expect a coin on the x-ray.

He's been feeding it every Friday night for six months, in an attempt to train it to show up during his shows. Anyway, the line about ownership of the tourist trap changing to Jupiter is super clear when OJ and Em are driving home after the commercial shoot. Ultimately, it's not a huge point. I'll wait until it comes out on streaming to confirm one way or the other. Speleothing fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Aug 7, 2022 |

Imagine, if you will, the difference between dropping a cherry pit from shoulder height, and spitting it out.

Dr Christmas posted:Just learned about the theory that OJ doesn't survive, which I don't buy at all. At no point in the movie does anybody have any "visions" or dream sequence or drug trips. What people see is what is happening, they just have to interpret it correctly or not based on their biases. So either OJ survives or a reporter just happens to ride up on a black horse while wearing an orange hoodie. It's a dumb theory from people who are eager to have the Horror Movie with a Downer Ending like an Ari Aster flick. Jordan Peele movies have so far tended to end with the heros bloody but victorious*. Also, let's not lie, the final act is way more action movie than horror movie. *This is also why I lean towards the footage from the two hand-cranked cameras surviving. But that's less clear in the narrative.

My exact point about people looking for a downer ending when there isn't one.

Murdering your girlfriend, her brother, both her parents, and their maid & gardener, burning down their house, then driving off in your buddy's TSA cruiser back to New York is also a weird kind of victory. Another weird kind of victory is to murder your doppelganger and escape with your family while millions of other "surface" Americans have been replaced by their underground double. Not sure how that will turn out for the Wilson family in the long run.

CelticPredator posted:No this is good actually. Yes, but you can see how despite being triumphant in that moment, Chris faces an uncertain future dealing with the fallout from septuple homicide with an arson that covers the evidence of illegal brain swapping? Yet we accept the final scene of the movie as being a victory for him. Same thing when Em and OJ face the media.

I had no problem at all with the dialogue, and I usually use subtitles at home. So that was completely a "your theater" problem. Also, totally agree that the digestion scene wasn't scary. Almost comical, except for the screams

That was 100% pure cringe. She was so unprofessional and annoying that I was looking forward to the aliens killing her up until the praying mantis scene.

Baron von Eevl posted:I assume the Gordy's Home stuff was either the entire impetus of the movie or he was developing a story around that and a UFO story at the same time and realized they were both hitting the same themes and messages and combined them. This is a question I would love to see him answer

It's also kind of a "don't waste your time trying to get the video, because I'm going public in 5 days"

Probably the eggs or larvae move through space and the adult form stays in atmospheres. Also, there are jellyfish that can revert to the larval stage when needed. Or it could be of terrestrial origin and just previously unknown.
