If you liked Arrival, I bet you'd like Contact w/ Jodi Foster. Have you seen it?

I did enjoy that and have seen it. Been a while though so revisiting would be

I'm glad to hear you liked it. I usually like that kind of stuff but found it

Watch the last 15 minutes of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. It's pretty much the same movie.

No, this one. Watch it and tell me Arrival isn't just a cheap rip-off of this classic.

Yeah I agree with this clip. I think this is what the 3 Nephites do these days.

I love Arrival. It's easily a top 5 movie for me. And the score is amazing.

12/13/19 3:51pm

The movie Annihilation kind of has the same vibe as Arrival

Hmm. I'll have to check that out. Never heard of it.

Didn’t like annihilation at all, honestly. To each his own.

Annihilation and Ad Astra

Ad Astra was interesting with issues it addressed, but it was a really slow burn.

*Bad Astra. I was rooting for the sun to go supernova by the end of the movie. It was visually stunning thats it.

12/13/19 4:15pm

A lot of it didn't make sense, but I really liked it nonetheless

As someone who has had a child pass away, this movie really affected me.

It was an intensely emotional movie for me, and I haven't lost a child. I can only

I thought Arrival was good but not amazing

Mostly think those are fair issues.

In all seriousness, what do you mean by demonization of conservative media?

Interesting. Never in a million years would I have even considered any of that.

Nothing in Jeremy Renner's portrayal of that character led me to believe he'd do what he did offscreen in the "future"

Some thoughts on that

Good thoughts to keep in mind if I ever rewatch

I found nothing slow with Arrival. I was fully engaged throughout the movie.
