I finally got tired of waiting for Nope to show up on any streaming platform, and rented it from Amazon last night. Only $6? Sure. That's like a third of what I'd pay for one seat at the theater, and we were never given that option because it blew through the theater near us in record time. So I rented it, and I was so impressed! I might actually rate it as better than Get Out, but Get Out is so good, it's probably more of a tie. I'm so glad that none of the trailers gave away that while this was a horror movie, it was also a movie about aliens . I was thinking it might have been about a UFO, given how everyone is pointedly looking at the sky in the trailers, but not knowing what I was in for made the reveal that much better! I also liked the further reveal that the UFO wasn't a ship, it was a creature. My husband was wandering around doing housework, so he caught some of the movie, but at the end he said "You know how I know it was good? You spent a good 45 minutes muttering 'Oh gently caress' Or 'holy poo poo' under your breath." I had no idea I was doing that, but it really was that good of a movie. I did catch myself several times going  when I realized I was sitting with my jaw left open. I want to watch it again, and I also want to check out the Twilight Zone reboot he did, because this movie definitely had that Twilight Zone feel to it at times.

TIP posted:I love Peele but you can go ahead and skip Twilight Zone. I don't think he had anything to do with writing it and most of it is PAINFUL. The facts that a) it didn't last long and b) I saw no positive buzz about it made me figure it wasn't worth it. Thanks for the confirmation. Also Twilight Zone is a perfect series, so I'll just keep watching reruns of it when I catch it on TV. Groovelord Neato posted:The trailers made it pretty clear it was about UFOs but nothing hinted at what it truly was. And some trailers leaned into it being generic UFO/aliens because they show a quick shot of one of the kids dressed as an alien but you only see the top of its head and a clip of Gordy fist bumping looked like it could've been an alien hand.
