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.

The Bechdel test, inverted. I try not to watch movies with women who speak. (Alien and Aliens have very little dialogue).
