Saw "Us" today on a whim (friend randomly texted and asked if I would go see it with him) and my brain is still whirring from it all.

And just when I think I "get" the message/commentary, someone tweets a different viewpoint that totally works and my mind is blown.

Jordan Peele is quickly becoming a favorite writer/director and a national treasure.

Post with more substance later, I am still processing it all...but if you've seen it, we can spoiler talk in the comments!

STILL ON MY LIST. I meant to go last Thursday but it didn't work out for ~Reasons. I probably won't be able to see it properly until next Sunday, but I'll be here in spoiler-ville then!

I avoided all the spoilers, didn't even see the trailers so it was just all "WTF!" for me. Really good. I thought it just came out this weekend? I rarely see a movie so close to the release date LOL the theater was PACKED though and most showings were sold out.

Yeah, but "weekend" usually includes the prior Thursday and Friday, but a midnight showing on Wednesday depending on how big a blockbuster they're expecting it to be. I couldn't find a matinee. 🙁 Soon, though!
