Us? Nope! Get out!

I’m going to have to split my comments up some. I will start by saying that I am happy that you finally got to see and enjoy this film, Jess. My first time seeing it was this month. I had plans to see it in theaters, though unfortunately, the timing fell through. Similar to what you described I didn’t know too much about this specifically. I knew it was sci-fi horror and Steven Yeun was a showman of some kind. That was about the extent of my knowledge going into this. My brother had seen it, but kept mum on specifics, for which I was grateful. Peele delivered a fantastic film. I loved the tone felt an homage to Kubrick, with sprinklings of Spielberg. Essentially 2001 meets Jaws. The performances were great. Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer, as you noted, were excellent at bringing their performances as O. J. and Em which superbly had great sibling energy. Brandon Perea was enjoyable as Angel, lovely to see you quite liked him. Michael Wincott was a pleasant surprise. I caught his name in the credit’s, said, “Oh, shit, haven’t seen him in a while.” Loved Michael’s scene where Holst does his gruff rendition of One-Eyed One-Horned Flying Purple People Eater not unlike Robert Shaw as Quint singing Farewell and Adieu to You Fair Spanish Ladies. Your own reaction to that was great. You had the same thoughts as my brother and I had about Keith David, which was, “Keith David!? Oh, SHIT YEAH!!” then he’s killed, and the thought is, “Oh, goddamn it!! I was looking forward to him being in this!” The random as hell Donna Mills cameo through me for a loop. Saw her name in the credits, said, “Wait, Donna Mills is in this!?” I knew you’d be most excited about Steven, who yes, is proving most versatile. I concur that the tragedy of what happened with Gordy, he just masked his trauma/recontextualized it as a sort of fantasy/ he’s chasing something he can never obtain. You mention the shoe, your thoughts on that. I thought those were good thoughts. A smart move to not spell out why Gordy snapped, though you can surmise that the noise from the balloons set him off, combined with everyone else looking at him factored into it. I would also think that he may have caught his reflection in the camera lens, as filming chimpanzees tends to anger them. Remember that. Brings me to the topic of the animal deaths in the film. Yeah, when I saw it, the animal deaths made me think of you having to react to this, and I said, “...Oh, shit.” I had wanted to give you a head’s up, but I knew you had already filmed the reaction. Also, the type of film that it is, it’s better to go into it blind, and I’d have worried too much about how to phrase a warning without spoiling things. I’m therefore relieved to hear you say that one of your friends gave you a warning, so it wouldn’t hit you out of the blue. And to your point, the death of the horses was more inferred, thus it wasn’t as bad as you anticipated which is something. Your reaction to everything about Jean Jacket’s feasting on Ricky and the others at his establishment, that made an impression; your reaction was quite striking, Jess. Seeing how badly it affected you, to the point I could see the tears in your eyes, I wanted to give you a hug. As it is, I’m watching the reaction, saying, “Breathe, Jess. Just breathe.” You talked about the fear you have of snakes, and their constricting and slowly digesting, which, yeah, I get completely why the scenes in the film got to you as bad as they did. I don’t think I have the same trigger, (Though your phobia of snakes has rubbed off on me, so it is possible.) though I agree of the idea of being alive whilst being slowly digested is a fucking terrifying thought. And it did not help, as you said, when this film then showed the snakes to illustrate the parallels. It is most cathartic when Em has her Roy Scheider moment of getting the shot and killing Jean Jacket. In her place, I’d have gone the extra mile, yelling, “Smile, you son of a-!”

Which brings us to the primary theme of the film. As you described, yes, the film definitely feels like a satire/commentary/critique, what have you, of spectacle, exploitation of horrific/tragic events, and the rather sick and morbid fascination of said spectacle/exploitation. In the film itself, there’s of course, the plot point of Gordy’s Home! and how the public responded to it. Ricky even says he has people spending big money to see his shrines. Then there’s the overall narrative of Jean Jacket. It is great, as you said, how even our heroes aren’t operating out of altruistic motivations, they are trying to capitalize and profit from Jean Jacket, albeit they remain sympathetic in trying to use the hypothetical money to save their dad’s legacy. And it is a thing of the world that we as a species do seem to flock towards spectacles of many kinds. Such as the O. J. Simpson trial and/or, as you highlighted, the Johnny Depp v Amber Heard trial last year. It is as you describe, people just fixated on the trial, following it obsessively. I concede your one point of maybe some people did have sympathetic/personal reasons for doing so. In a general sense, however, yeah, people made a huge deal about those trials. I’m too young to remember the O. J. trial, though my brother recalls a lot of adults being obsessed about it, and the Depp v Heard trial, yeah, was obscene how much even the news was covering it. I mean, I’m a sick man who can have a dark and dreary demeanor, but even I have my limits, and that was a spectacle that I didn’t need to take part in. The height of the criticism of people trying to capitalize on tragedy in this film was the TMZ fuckwit. Finding out he was TMZ, had me saying, “Oh, fuck me, these goddamn assholes are getting involved.” I loved all your reactions to the guy prioritizing his camera over his own safety. I loved how O. J. recognized the reflection in his helmet sealed his fate, and just left him. And later, when we heard him screaming, I said, “Yes. Very sad. Anyway...” Everything you had to speak about the themes and topics of this film was most excellent, Jess. You expressed worry about that, I say you have nothing to worry about. Like I said, you were excellent. You were very well spoken with your thoughts and comments. They may not have been the most polished, but one, they are your immediate gut-reactions, and two, you sound much, MUCH better than I would have been. I can get terrible with the rambling sometimes. You, you sounded most excellent, and this reaction was most excellent. I loved sharing Nope with you, Jess. I do hope the nightmares following you seeing it weren’t too bad. In any event, this was a most terrific reaction, Jess, I thank you so very much for it.

What great timing! I just watched this for the first time this weekend! It didn’t scare me in the moment but more messed with me later when I thought about it more.

You're not alone with how this film triggers you, Jess; since I saw it I've maintained this is genuinely the scariest film I've ever seen. The scene with Jean Jacket eating all those people was the most horrific thing I've seen and messed me up for ages after; I always put myself in character's shoes a lot and I couldn't get the idea of being one of those people there with their loved ones just slowly dying/being digested out of my head. It's also definitely not just catered to your fears specifically, I know myself and people from real life who found it absolutely horrifying as well as seeing people sharing a similar sentiment around the internet regarding that scene. All that said, it's a great film and I'm glad you finally got round to seeing it after wanting to for so long no matter how horrific it is. Also I'm with you on the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard stuff, I wasn't that interested in it and wasn't sure why it got the reaction it did from people online; I get wanting vindication and seeing abusers get their shit handed to them but it was quite overblown. I also love your take on the shoe, I haven't seen any discussions on that really so not too sure what other takes people have or what it's supposed to be if not that.

I have to admit that I fallowed the Depp V. Heard trial.. not to turn these people's personal lives into entertainment, but because I wanted to seek the truth, and the "truth" that was told to us without due process was that, one of MY favourite actors (Johnny Depp), was a heartless woman beater. and I didn't want to believe it. So I fallowed to seek the truth. TBH don't know if I got it.
