    I hope you enjoy the second! I find it even more compelling than the first! The opening level of Peragus can be a bit tedious, but the game becomes much better after!

    I actually loved Skinamarink, and in large part for the very same reason you find it exciting. So much was left open in my imagination and in my experience by the filming techniques. I thought those techniques, as well as the voice-acting/dialogue, added a great deal of tension throughout the film that made the movie feel like a never ending countdown that doesn't reach 0.

    I would say, perhaps, it's that same lack of resolution that a lot of people don't connect to with the film.

    I left the theater being pretty disappointed in Nope. Primarily because it didn't seem to have a larger conversation, or at least a clear one, like Peele's other work. However, on rewatching, I found myself thoroughly engrossed, entertained, and able to pick apart the finer details that pointed to the larger conversation I missed the first time around.

    I'd contribute missing them the first time to the film's on-the-nose spectacle in which the more subtle themes seemed to get lost. But that film has really grown on me since the theater.

    I just watched and thoroughly enjoyed The Popes Exorcist last night. Not going to top any lists, but it was a very fun time.
