Ramen Pride!

This movie really was a treat for me. I'm a bit jaded, but there were scenes where it made me sit up in my chair and talk back at my screen. The way it ties every story point together, and homages so many other works is amazing. I've seen the whole thing twice and replayed scenes constantly. The whole premise appeals to the naturalist/biologist in me. The whole plausible biology of Jean Jacket fascinated me. But there was something more...

Then it hit me on a scene re-watch.where Holst climbed the hill to film Jean Jacket, that Peele didn't make a horror movie, he made a Dragon hunting movie. All of a sudden I was a kid watching Dragonslayer again. And I realized a big reason I was fixated on Nope.

(Possible spoilers in a roundabout way below)

Jordan Peele is a maestro. I'm going to check out his other stuff when I get the chance because his talent slipped under my radar. He's the next Spielberg. :D
