It was fine. I don’t think it needs a sequel, but it wasn’t a bad movie at all. If they decide to make a sequel, it’d be interesting to see what they do with it.

I don’t mind an alternate universe. It’s not exactly outside the scope of Ghostbusters to simply say it’s happening on another plane and they could cross-over at some point.
There’s definitely a real terror in abductions. I agree. I couldn’t bring myself to watch The Fourth Kind and the one or two others that came out since then. Did you see those?
That’s a good observation. Maybe it was part of the buildup to Y2k/millennium fears. Funny enough, I remember Weekly World News being on the checkout magazine stand next to the Enquirer and other tabloids. It’s like when 2000 hit, pop culture put down WWN and picked up the Enquirer.
I’d like to see more than this still. It looks vaguely wolf- or fox- like to me upon first glance. I could also see something like Luke Skywalker carrying Yoda on his back.
Just saw the trailer before Top Gun: Maverick on IMAX last night. As someone who spent 4th-8th grade very into UFOs in the mid-90's*, this trailer freaked me out. The movie title is apt.
Grandpa looks like if Wario was a Smurf, which is kind of his personality anyway so I’m game.
I found that too when I actually tried to look it up. I have a slightly faulty memory. At least I was right about strudel, but it’s just a strudel wave.
He’s one of a few people who have enough pull on both sides of the political spectrum to get people to listen to him. He’s also apparently smart enough to understand that no politician is going to take his ideas seriously. So, since in some weird way he kind of represents liberal Hollywood and conservative Texas, he’s…
I hope not. I just keep thinking about how I’ve been told that interstate highways got passed as a matter of national defense—a straight mile every 3 miles so planes can take off and land as needed. Since hearing that, for some reason, I’ve had it in my head that tying something to national defense helps get it passed.
I wish that wasn’t funny
Silicon Valley reference?
They should roll this into defense spending.
I’m surprised it’s not standard practice to just have a pop-up selection early on that says “click here/press [button] to display potential trigger warnings or click here/press[button] to skip.” That way the folks who benefit from them have access and the folks who want to go in blind have that option.
I don’t know. How old are you?
I had it wrong. It’s caused by Helmholtz Resonance, nicknamed a “strudel wave.” The term ‘buffeting” shows up in some discussions. The term “strudeling” is not for that phenomenon (though it’s a term that could be redeemed from some of its NSFW uses).
I found it! It’s called a “Strudel Wave.” Apparently I have a tendency to make verbs that should not be. Anyway, here’s the video:
Update: It’s called Helmholtz Resonance. The term ‘buffeting” comes up in this article about it as well:
I heartily recommend running to Walmart for some Famous Dave’s sweet and spice pickle relish. Great for burgers and hotdogs.
You’re probably right. I thought I heard Adam Savage use the term for the air pressure thing. Any more graphic connotations of the term are unfortunate and unintentional.
