Nope (Jordan Peele, July 22, 2022) Movie • Page 16

this is genuinely the movie most closely related to jaws in tone that i think i’ve ever seen. the early reviews made that comparison and i was very skeptical but they were so right

 

Yeah, this was fucking great. Feels totally different from his other two movies but fits together perfectly with them at the same time. All of the performances are great (Kaluuya is an incredible actor, Keke killed it the whole movie and I loved Yeun and wished we got more of him), the cinematography and sound design is gorgeous and I fucking loved the creature design at the end, so incredibly eerie but oddly beautiful looking

I personally think Get Out was Peele's opus that he probably won't top, Us was a lot of fun but kind of falls apart the more you think about it (but the good far outweighs the bad), and this was both hilarious and genuinely thrilling. Peele is building a really fucking strong filmography so far

 

Didn’t really love this. Gotta do some more reading on it, but I feel like things just happened with no real sense of stakes or purpose.

This and Thor are now two movies in a row that ask me to care about characters without doing any of the legwork to make it happen.

 

Akira slide and Neon Genesis-lookin angel thing. Very tight movie.

 

I was thinking about it and I really don't think Peele's filmmaking career is that much of a far cry from Key & Peele, they tackle a lot of the same themes, have pretty similar sense of humor and there were even horror elements in quite a few sketches on that show. Really makes me think that Peele was a much bigger creative force on that show than Key

 

I’m sorry, genuinely. I was being “funny” but it was really just kind of mean and that’s super lame of me.

 

If an entire theater didn’t at least laugh at the two times OJ said “nope,” they were either asleep or distracted on their phone.

 

The best moments of Key and Peele are when the sketches have an extra reveal or twist and all of that feels very true to Peele’s writing style after watching all of these movies. Wouldn’t be as good as a show without those moments, really elevated everything.

 

yo I was also going insane thinking this too lol

 

Remembering the times I laughed:
- When they wheeled the green screen horse prop in
- Chris Kattan as Gordy
- OJ looking up and saying nope while he was in the truck
- When Angel was trying to get into the yell conversation with Jupe
- Em and OJ slapping hands on the porch
- When the TMZ guy went flying off the bike

I thought the humor was definitely well-placed.

 

“There’s no way that guy’s alive”

*distant screams*

got me.

 

LOL yes

 

BEAT ME TO IT

 

The fact that Jordan Peele completely broke Logan Paul's brain with this movie might move it into masterpiece territory for me

 

@DrAlanGrant the villain of chorus dot fm

 

Yet another classic movie homage

 

One critic said the scene of OJ in the car not wanting to look outside reminded them of “The Twilight Zone” ep with William Shatner not wanting to look at the creature on the wing of the plane (which Peele remade for the reboot). That’s a pretty solid observation.

 

Also not a real criticism but pretty sure an electric bike like that would just slow down? Not abruptly stop and buck the driver off lol

 

That’s correct lol unless the front brakes engaged

 

Based off the praying mantis, I'm guessing this thing has some control and influence over the electromagnetic field around it, would explain how it can move so freely and surround itself with a cloud. The other option is psychic connection with animals which works more towards why the horses run towards it, but honestly either works to explain that.

 

The disfigured spectator was a co-star from Gordy, right? Think I missed the explanation there, definitely was faked out seeing her in the trailer.

 

Yep. He introduces her as "an old friend and my first crush"

 

But why is she there

what does that have to do with anything
