Anybody ever watched this? I've been seeing bad reviews, so I had low expectations. Was willing to give it a chance because I liked Jordan Peele's previous movies.
...I actually liked it better than Get Out and Us.
[SPOILERS]
I found it interesting that when the extraterrestrial transformed into its final form, it sort of looks like the biblical descriptions of Angels.
I also liked the part with the chimp being trained and friendly, and then mass murdering a group of people with his bare hands after being triggered by noise. It's a lesson that people these days should take into heart. During the pandemic, owning large dogs as pets suddenly became popular - I've seen small women in malls being led around by pitbull terriers, and they think "Oh it's okay - he's a lovely, gentle giant and wouldn't harm a fly." but when that dog gets triggered and instincts kick in, it's probably going to drag them around while it murders the shit out of someone's small dog, or someone's neck.

neil!! i actually saw 'nope' in the theater with a friend, and i don't see nuthin' in the theater anymore. i really liked it. the monkey horrified me. chimp i should say, since most monkeys, baboons for example, are largely docile unless you marry them & steal a bunch of their money!! sorry babu. but chimps snap a lot. i don't want to say much more about that part but they are capable of horrific shit. but yeah, a fantastic movie. all the actors were great. my friend knew nothing about the other movies, key & peale or any of that, so i showed him 'us' & 'get out'. he liked 'get out' the most, and 'us' the least. he's a smart guy & kept asking me 'us' stuff i was too stupid to understand. but finally it sunk in. the thing was, 'red' (the real addy) kept saying she was tethered. she was not tethered! 'adelaide wilson' (the real red) who took her place & the adelaide identity was tethered! yes 'red' could've taken 'addy' out with he. but 'addy' who was not bound by tether rules could have walked out at any time. the other tethers wouldn't have stopped her. she could've gone to a police station & said, i can't find my mommy, or whatever and ended up in a nice cushy foster home. madonna might've adopted her! that's all i got. anyway. welcome back neil!

*sperlers* one more nope comment.
the thing flying around with a bunch of stadium people in it's gullet, including the asian kid-tv-star cowboy guy (who i kept expecting to have escaped & would show up at the end) his wife & kids, assorted elderly spectators, and especially the monkey mutilated lady from his old show -- screaming in terror (with theater sound) really got me. anyway, i highly recommend it. a lot going on there.

One more scary thing about chimps is that even that averaged sized one in the movie is supposedly several times stronger than a man. They can literally tear a physically fit human apart, would probably have even less trouble with a 40 year old lardass like me.
They're also really evil motherfuckers. In India, they've started forming gangs. I heard that it started when a dog bit one of the monkeys, so the monkeys have started forming groups and kidnapping dogs so they can drop them from heights. They've also started beating up on human children. And the worst part is that a lot of people there don't do anything about it because the animal is sacred.
I'd like to see them try that thing on a place like, I dunno - Chicago or Texas. They'd get wiped out fast (at least, until the monkeys learn how to work a handgun. Then humans are definitely fucked.)

I saw this thing where this guy had raised a chimp from the time it was a baby and it still turned on him. When chimps attack people, they'll bite off their nose and ears and rip up their privates. The chimp had turned this guy into a castrated Skeletor and he was still moaning the loss of his chimp. If that happened to me, I'd be like the Punisher to primates, breaking into zoos to execute chimpanzees!

I also saw a documentary that posited a scenario where other animals miraculously developed human-like intelligence and it became an all out war between different species for domination of the planet. They posit that lions, tigers, elephants and such would still lose out because they don't have hands that can handle tools and weapons. But humans will still get wiped out by chimps because aside from being significantly faster and stronger, they also have the potential to learn how to use human weapons and vehicles.
Imagine a chimp dual wielding pistols and going full-on The Matrix on a room full of soldiers. Scary stuff.

sounds like the public domain character Six-Gun Gorilla. A cowboy gorilla. How is this not a movie?!
