What movie did you see today?

I read the book, and wasn't impressed. It was too ... kiddy ... too much like it was written by an excited teenager.

Yet the movie is getting great reviews. Might be one of those rarest of occasions that a movie is better than the book.

I didn't even know there was a book, but I thought the movie was entertaining enough. The cultural 80s references were a little bit odd in the time the story played, however, may just about have been relevant to the instigators of the 'adventure'.

They were the hipsters of their generation
Seriously though the story does try to explain this in 2 fashions, one of which you picked up on. In the beginning its explained that people just stopped trying, which would explain the lack of creative innovation (and the dilapidated state of pretty much everything in the real world); and the story revolves around a group of gunters, whos entire purpose is understand the mind of a man who grow up in and loved the 80s, that type of dedication is bound to wear off on you.

A quiet place; a movie with so little dialogue that it could almost have been a silent movie. Entertaining thriller that sometimes dips a toe into gory horror but never goes too far. John Krasinski director and in the lead, opposite Emily Blunt. I like both of them a lot, though probably John just that little bit more
