I saw Annihilation last night, and I want more people to see it and talk with me about it to help clarify what I thought. (It was really good, but very thinky. So I need more people to think about it with me.)

But Black Panther was definitely more fun.

I have already seen Black Panther. I know I want to see it again, but maybe not today and I have to think about the IMAX 3d options.

OK, Annihilation it is. Thinkiness pending.

That was interesting and disturbing. I am not sure what to think.

It's occupying the same headspace for me as Arrival, even if it's nowhere near as good. I wish it had spent more time on the interior lives of the other characters - I think the themes about identity and choices and self-destruction would have been stronger if Natalie Portman hadn't been our only POV character.

Still need to see Arrival.

You make a good point. Tessie Thompson and Gina Rodriguez characters were interesting and made intriguing choices, I would have liked to have known more of what they were thinking.

I also wish that "refracting everything" idea was explored a little more. That's a pretty deep well.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Still need to see Arrival.

It's currently streaming on Hulu.

I know, it's been sitting in My List for ages. I just needto feel like I have enough brain to take it in...

I'm so bad about things sitting in My List/Watchlist forever. One thing I really like about Mubi (which I finally tried once I realized my DVD player app gave me a $1 3-month trial) is the fact that each film is only on there for 30 days, so I actually make a point of watching things. And, since I can't get Filmstruck on my TV, it is a good substitute for arthouse/indy stuff.

The problem with getting physical screeners is it's possible to let things sit around literally forever. I put off seeing 3 Billboards for MONTHS.
