I love both of them, but the previews for that looked so stressful! Was it stressful?

I don't recall it being that stressful, but also, my favorite movie thus far this year has been The Drama, so I might not be a good judge of all that.

I am not into the whale movie because I read a short story a while back about a whale fall that was really good and this movie looks nothing at all like that story, so I resent that it has that title.

In fairness to the movie, it is based on a book. With the same title. Whalefall, not Stupid Whale Movie. I haven't read it, and thus I cannot say if it is Stupid Whale Book. People seem to like it, I guess?

I have read Klara and the Sun, however, and if Taika's back in full form with this one, he's an excellent match for the source. The book comes right to the edge of "any movie would be a disappointment", but thankfully, unlike The Power of the Dog, doesn't go over that edge. I hear the movie for the latter is great, but the writing in the book is so mind-blowingly amazing that I just couldn't watch it.

I've had Klara and the Sun in my TBR for a looooooong time. I may get to it now that there's a movie...

Whalefall the book is definitely not what I read. I cannot remember the title of what I read but it was more SF, just an entirely different story. I am being totally irrational in rejecting the movie for not being the story that it is not in fact based on.
