Since I have been at work, sadly, I have not seen my children as often as I would like which is a change from the two weeks with them. I saw them more today when I was working from home, but was not able to interact with them as much.
My daughter has been stressed as it is results day tomorrow.
So, I arranged for some fun after work with us watching a film. My son and daughter watched Bullet Train, which I had no desire to watch, while my daughter and I watched Nope. I regret that decision.
Nope started off quite well, and then became much too slow. This did improve when it became a horror film in the middle of it, but then it changed to science fiction and ended up a below average film. It did have interesting characters though. While there are loose ends in why certain parts of the film were in, notably Gordy's Home, I think that a good horror film should have treads to the plot that are red herrings. What was interesting was comparing the communication attempts of Gordy and also of the alien.
I am glad I watched it in the big screen as with some of the scenes being filmed in the dark, this would have had to be watched at home at night to experience. But I doubt that I am going to watch this again, or even recommend that others watch it in the cinema.
On the plus side, it may have distracted my daughter from her results tomorrow for at least a short period of time.
