Nope

Cal told us over the weekend that he had watched the new Jordan Peele movie, "Nope."  I hadn't realized that it had been released yet, but Cameron did.  I asked Cal what he thought about it and he really liked it.  I looked to see when it would be available for streaming, but the earliest date would be some time in September.  As we really liked Peele's previous movies, "Get Out" and "Us", I asked Cameron and Doug what they thought about seeing it in the theater tonight.  I was glad to hear that they were both up to going.  I hadn't been to the movie theater since March of 2020 and was looking forward to it.

Cameron and I met Doug at Linway at 5:30.   We decided to get a big bucket of popcorn as we hadn't had that in 2+ years either.  There were just about as many people there as there was two years ago before the pandemic (less than a dozen.) which wasn't too surprising for a Monday nights.  

As soon as the opening scene started, we were hooked.  Cal had told us that it was a sci-fi thriller which was a little different than the previous thrillers that we had watched, but that didn't make it any less intense.  They were times that I had to look away and times that I couldn't take my eyes off of the screen.  The last 45 minutes were absolutely riveting and we all like how it ended.  Even though Cameron said that it was disturbing and none of us were quite sure that we would sleep tonight, we all walked out of the theater happy with our choice of this evening's activity.  

Cal called us on the way home and we agreed with his rankings of Jordan Peele's movies - 1) Get Out, 2) Nope, and 3) Us.  We couldn't agree on the most disturbing part in the three movies, however.  Cal and I felt that it was the family standing at the end of the drive in Us.  Doug and Cameron said that it was tonight's scene with Gordy the chimp.  It didn't really matter to us who was right.  It was just nice to be back at the theater enjoying a good movie.
