Right.

Maybe not, right?

But it's a movie.

In this film, though, particularly in a film made by filmmakers that have this type of expertise, what you expect is at least thematically

in a scene for the stakes to be ratcheted up and then there to be some actual thematic uh resolve to that and they just don't seem to be able to do that they seem to be able to like they're cobbling together a movie where shit happens like he can use the thing to get into her brain the mcguffin doesn't make sense and then at the same even with that right

I would have thought that that entire time that she would have become this clear and present threat to him.

Then she goes through something and she understands why she can break that type of tether that she has.

It never happens.

It's just kind of a thing that needs to exist to get the story from scene to scene, which is why in that regard, it reminded me of the Super Mario Brothers movie a little bit.

Oh, wow.

Just listen.

The Super Mario Brothers movie is not like you were looking at what was happening on the screen and that it wasn't fun.

What you were saying was they just got to this planet.

How the fuck they just got out of it?

And Disclosure Day kind of does that throughout the entire film till it gets to an ending that you're supposed to be really moved by, but you're not quite sure that you are.

I get that.

DT didn't look like that.

True.

And let me tell you something about E.T.

It didn't really matter how he looked.
