I rewatched Nope (again) this morning and it is, from a storytelling perspective, just. so. incredible.

If you haven’t seen Nope, there’s a huge twist that changes everything and nothing for the characters. Y’all know what I’m talking about if you’ve seen it.

The director wasted nothing. Everything from costumes to background details either foreshadows something, reinforces a theme, or pays off later in the movie.

The characters are great. The dialogue and character dynamics are realistic and relatable. There are some jumpscares in the first hour-ish of the movie, because it’s nominally a horror film. But, like an ogre, the movie has layers. It’s also a commentary on the entertainment industry, while also being a commentary on something i gotta elaborate on after i figure out how to do spoiler text.

The only correct way to remove eggs, duh

I love that you chose to demonstrate with a screwdriver

My parents spent ages trying to get me to hold a pen the “right” way, pinched near the tip with the thumb, index and middle fingers.

No, but I cross my legs while standing so that my feet are close to perpendicular. It’s comfy.

Exactly! It’s called planning ahead, get with it NT folks
