Nope (Jordan Peele, July 22, 2022) Movie • Page 6

Really wondering how this one is gonna go. I’m rooting for it

 

Same. I know they probably want to avoid spoilers but wild that pretty much nothing has been published about this. I think the embargo lifts Tuesday? Which is kind of exciting but also (sometimes) worrisome. It’s either because it’s great or terrible, I’m betting on the former.

 

I hope so. Get Out was great and US was very very bad

 

Nah Us is decent

 

Us is good.

Even though the 2nd trailer feels spoiler heavy the embargo doesn’t lift til the night before release, and the cast is contractually obligated to not give away a single plot point in interviews so maybe it’s just super secretive?

All I have really heard is Peele wrote this with spectacle in mind and Daniel Kaluuja has been saying this is basically an action movie. So holding out hope this is a blast

 

Us rocks

 

It really doesn’t. It’s really bad. I’m glad you guys like it!

 

That's cool you don't like it, but that doesn't make it bad

 

I mean because you like it doesn’t mean it’s…. Good? Lol. That’s silly.

 

Us is great. Overstuffed and not everything works, but it’s great.

 

definitely my most anticipated of the year. I’m so pumped. Probably going late Thursday night, at the same theater I saw Get Out in.

 

Yeah I think (hope) this is going to be something special

 

Love Get Out. Us not so much. Way too conceptual without much substance, and all the ideas end up feeling disconnected—the more you think about it, the worse it seems. Whereas with Get Out, it improves as you think about it. At this point, I’d say I’m cautiously excited for Nope.

 

i had fun with Us in the theaters but it wasn't really what i wanted and i've rewatched it zero times since and had virtually no conversations about it since.

i think this looks good but it is a little weird that Peele has seemingly been given the "master" stamp of approval for ... one good movie

 

Us was fine.

 

Us didn’t get the attention it deserved because it was really hard to follow Get Out.

 

I don't know about a "master" stamp, but I think it's perfectly reasonable that people love his style and are highly anticipating this considering how great Get Out was, how good Us was (sorry!), but also that he's been able to bring so much to conceptual horror films as a black director

 

I've noticed this too and the acclaim he gets is done in a way that makes it seem like he's waaaaay deeper into his filmmaking career than he is.

maybe I'm just being cyncical and arrogant but it feels like it's just mainstream media impressed by actual sets and "big" feeling blockbusters that are original IP.

 

I mean he makes interesting and original movies and isn’t afraid to just go for it. He seems like a breath of fresh air. Let him be hyped up.

 

i mean i'd rather see his movies, even when they don't work for me like Us, than something from a dope like Nolan or David O. Russell lol and I'm gonna see this opening night. just seems like his hype is a bit disproportionate with what we've actually gotten at this point. by quite a bit.

 

I wonder if it has anything to do with him being known strictly for comedy and then the first movie he directs is Get Out

 

got an email Mr. Peele will be introducing the film at my showing Thursday. Pretty cool.

 

Key and Peele is great sketch comedy. I think he's proven with that and his movies (along with the stuff he's produced) that he's a competent enough creator, and that he can also make an inspired film (like with Get Out). Sometimes he can let his creativity run amok (like with Us) but like @phaynes12 said, I'd rather see his work over something unoriginal / unimaginative.

 

I have a strange feeling there's a huge twist that we don't know about this yet. Aliens/UFOs just seems way too on the nose, especially with how much the trailers are showing us.

 

these are absolutely things we should be excited about right now lol
