      Tonight's movie: Arrival (the 2016 Denis Villeneuve movie, not the completely different 1996 Charlie Sheen movie) Once again I will say: go see this movie, see it cold, don't watch trailers or reviews or anything, just go see it If you like science fiction, go see this movie

      Didn't love it. Wanted to love it. Love linguistics. Love aliens. Love first contact stories. Not sure what didn't click.

          Well, [trying really hard not to put spoilers in the timeline] it's not REALLY about any of those things, is it? And what it actually is about is kind of... squishy. You're not a big fan of squish, I believe.

          Did you like Predestination? aka Heinlein's All You Zombies, the movie?

          The weirdness of the "here's some random right-wing weirdo who is going to fuck up the human race's first contact" was odd for me Gotta have some weird right-wing bad guy, even if it makes exactly zero narrative sense

          I get that. For me, despite that being a critical plot point, I didn't *take* it as a critical plot point. I absorbed it as part of the general background noise (which itself was super important), i.e. "while we're focused here on the object the entire world is falling apart"

          I liked it, but in a weird way I think it could have worked better as a stage play.

          Interesting! It was adapted from a short story (which I haven't read). Now you're making me wonder how I'd stage it. I think the *film* only works as a film.. I mean, tautology, right, but I think part of what makes the film so *good* is that it's a good *film*. Craftsmanship.

          Reminder that that misread the short story they adapted it from. Gwen has a breakdown of it on their website.https://www.gwern.net/Story-Of-Your-Life …

          I'll have to read the breakdown after I read the story. :)
