I can understand that separating art from artist is very challenging for some people, but it has never been a challenge for me. A boycott is a personal choice, after all.

Well, I guess I'm inconsiderate then. But, thankfully, you have no say in what I do or don't do. Yeesh.

What?! Why? It's not like I'm barefoot. I'm not sticking them in your face. Maybe you just have a weird hangup about feet?

Just answer the question. My feet don't smell, if that's your problem.

Fair enough.

Why can't I take off my shoes?

Why post if they aren't?

Omg please stop searching for things to be offended over. It's pathetic.

I don't care if i am considered an ally or not, really. Not anymore. Not since that started to entail my strict adherence to a code prescribed by people like yourself. I'll support in the ways that I feel comfortable, regardless of whether or not you or others want to call me an ally.

A lot of us genuinely believe the reaction to the stories, and, more recently, the game have gone way overboard. It's fine to make the personal choice to boycott something, but don't shame others for enjoying a fantasy story.

I realize, to most of the people I'm talking about, the viewpoints of others matter very little, anyway. But, just know, the rest of us feel the same about you.

Get out is definitely the closest to horror in my view. Us isn't far off either, but it's just got a lot of comedy relief that detracts from the scariness, imo. Nope felt a lot like Jaws. The thing OP said about Gordy is spot on, though. Best part of the movie and definitely the creepiest.

Suspense/Thriller. In the case of Us, it's got comedy elements as well.

Your first mistake was going in expecting to watch a horror movie. It's not horror, and neither was Get Out or Us.

I can agree about most of what you said about the characters.

As for the monster, I'm happy they left a lot unexplained. I think it's bad when a film explains everything about those kind of elements (one of my main gripes about Prometheus and Alien Covanent).

A lot of people refer to Nope as Sky Jaws and I think that's pretty accurate.

Timothy Oliphant was barely in OUATIH...

Leo is an extremely good actor. Never seems to phone it in.

If you really stop and think about it, the whole idea of her being so reticent to share her past or get to know Cage is kind of nonsensical. I get that she is trying to spare him pain, but it's not like she is going to remember and he can't help but feel something for her no matter how little she chooses to share.

I think the arcade thing was real but the Peyton thing was just him being playful, because they both know it isn't true.

The sugar scene is just to push forward the plot point where she realizes he's been stalling in that barn or whatever it is.

He is just probing and showing her that she has, in fact, already told him some of her past.

The three sugars thing is just an honest mistake, I think.
