Nope (Jordan Peele, July 22, 2022) Movie • Page 29

Might watch this tonight. Haven't been feeling horror this week, but this one straddles the genre line well enough.

 

Eh. Not sure. My player is region A, the blu ray is region A. Not sure what’s going on.

 

Just got a copy of Decision to Leave, also Region A, also will not play in my blu ray player. A player that plays all of my criterion blu rays. Losing my mind over here.

 

Are you sure the issue is region-related? What actually happens when you try to play the blu-ray? Does any error come up or message? Or does it just not do anything?

 

I can hear it trying a few times and then a “check disc” notice comes up. Has happened for both my Nope and DTL blu rays. Really odd. It’s probably obvious but I can’t figure it out.

 

Ive watched this movie a bunch more since the theatrical run, its so good

 

I need to rewatch. It’s a great movie.

 

Yeah, on my list to rewatch soon

 

I just made my friends watch this. It gets better each time I watch it.

 

You guys wanna road-trip down to OKC and rewatch it with me

 

I’ve watched pieces of this every night for the last week. I think it’s one of my favorite movies ever at this point.

 

nah you can come to PA

 

I've got friends from OK that live in eastern PA, might as well make a full trip of it and visit all 3,500 chorus users from there as well

 

I’m from there but am currently in Florida. I am making a trip in the fall though. Let’s line up our trips.

 

alright but we can't talk about star wars

 

I only like Star Trek. So, sure.

 

Can't wait to show my friends this but I gotta build up their horror tolerance first

 

Build up tolerance? This is barely horror, at least from a scares perspective (not a criticism)

 

Yeah I know, they're barely starting out, though. I've got a whole thing planned for them, I've talked about it a lot more in the Horror Thread. I'm getting them through like entry level slasher comedies right now. Nope has several scenes that were genuinely scary in comparison

 

Are they 12? I don’t get it. Or am I just so desensitized from an early age? My dad would watch like Nightmare On Elm St and let me hang out and watch haha so I am not really the best standard to judge by. But I don’t get how adults would need to be like lured in slowly to any type of mainstream movie.

 

They're just not into horror yet! I didn't really get into it until a few years ago either. I've known people who only watch animation/anime and not even the stuff geared more towards adults

 

I’m not speaking to preferences. I just think like 99% of mainstream movies are fairly tame and inoffensive. I don’t see the average adult finding something like Nope to be some like wildly scary thing. Now if we are talking about smaller indie horror films, I can see it. Some of them go absolutely overboard and not dumping them on non horror fans makes total sense. Mainstream is just so take to me. You get the occasional fucked up horror mainstream movie, but it’s rare, IMO. And Nope is not one of those at all. If you and they are enjoying doing it this way, that’s totally cool. You all having fun is what matters more than me understanding.

 

It's relatively tame and only horror-adjacent (who cares), but that digestion scene may have been the scariest thing I saw last year. Genuinely.

 

Claustrophobic that literally just got out of an MRI and my anxious brain had the wonderful idea of remembering that scene.
