Farming is so labor intensive, I can't see how its possible.Archie Gallupnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-53206839327607591552018-04-26T12:19:17.349-04:002018-04-26T12:19:17.349-04:00My thoughts while watching the movie (SPOILERS fol...My thoughts while watching the movie (SPOILERS follow):<br /><br />- This little kid is annoying and a liability. The family will be better off without him.<br /><br />- Kid dies: I feel no remorse.<br /><br />- Clever writing to have one of the kids be deaf. It makes sense that this family survived, they were already used to communicating through silence.<br /><br />- There must be very few dogs left. Cats, however, will most likely outlive humans, especially wild cats. They are masters of silence.<br /><br />- God, why is every kid so clumsy? Wait a second, <i>I</i>'m very clumsy. I would be one of the first to die in this apocalypse.<br /><br />- Lady, why are you pregnant? Crying baby will be of no help. Women, don't get pregnant <i>during</i> the apocalypse. Men, don't impregnate your woman during the apocalypse. Straight people, control yourselves during the apocalypse.<br /><br />- Aw, I want the girl to be happy. She is so tortured. I like her.<br /><br />- Is this creature related to the monster of <i>Stranger Things</i>? They must be cousins, they are very similar.<br /><br />- Come to think of it, where did these creatures come from?<br /><br />- Oh my god, old man, don't scream. Poor old man.<br /><br />- Yes, the labor scene. The scene I was looking forward to the most after watching the trailer. I'm so tense right now!<br /><br />- I can see it, the fireworks will go out right when the woman screams. Tension is over.<br /><br />- Well, that turned out to be a super quick birth.<br /><br />- This is turning into a series of unfortunate events. Poor family.<br /><br />- Uh, sound travels faster in water, I cannot buy that this woman is still alive.<br /><br />- Kid, don't turn off the ear device.<br /><br />- He loves her, he really loves her. Tear. Now I know how to say "I love you" in sign language (that's a lie, I already forgot). Bye, dad.<br /><br />- This family has a new source of noise and is one grownup down? They will all be dead by the end of the movie.<br /><br />- Okay, so no one, no scientist, no engineer, no musician, not anyone figured out that there was a frequency that upset/scared the monsters? Right... Forget that, Lamounier, this is a small scale story.<br /><br />- Oh, yeah, the ladies are going to kick some ass!<br /><br />- Can we have a sequel where the mom dies and the siblings fight for their survival all by themselves?<br /><br />--<br /><br />Great review, Fangirl. I liked the movie a lot and I look forward to rewatching it... in a quiet environment, like you said. Loved to know that they cast an actual deaf actress to play the role of a deaf character.Lamounierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00225447169375363236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-10372575501259187242018-04-09T14:35:28.331-04:002018-04-09T14:35:28.331-04:00"I couldn't quite figure out the signific..."I couldn't quite figure out the significance of the red lights, and that bothers me way more than it should."<br /><br />They were meant as a silent alarm system. Something other people would notice, but the creatures wouldn't.<br /><br />I thought the movie was pretty good, but I agree the characters behaved foolishly at times. The basic decision the parents made that led to the final crisis (trying to avoid spoilers here) was pretty stupid under the circumstances. How did they think that was going to end?TheShadowKnowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073693648569864707noreply@blogger.com
