I saw the movie Nope last year with a friend who loves scary movies. I am NOT a fan of scary movies but thought this was going to be more of a comedy or parody of a scary movie. After seeing this movie, i have an extreme fear of clouds and find myself analyzing the sky constantly thinking I’m going to be eaten by the clouds (much like in the movie).

Anyone else have this problem 😂

That movie was overall not too scary for me but man it has a few unsettling scenes. Love how it was basically jaws in the sky

Every time I saw the monster, I thought of the song "Hovering Sombrero" by They Might Be Giants.

not cloud but drones. Have you seen the war in ukraine? There s a video of a drone destroying a drone destroying weapon. Bro, like there are drones flying and you may not even notice. Did you see the last terrorist dude they killed? He was Ayman al-Zawahiri. They smashed him with a drone knife. Like clouds? Cool story. Movie shit. Drones? Im somewhat paranoid. I look at the sky like im high on drugs.

There was a story on tape I listened to as a wee kid. About 8 years old. About a little girl who loved looking at the clouds.

Then, one day, she looked up and noticed a face in the clouds. She thought it was just the shape but noticed that the longer she looked at it, the more real of a shape it seemed to get.

When she was going to school, she glanced up out of nervousness and noticed that the cloud was bad and now it was watching her. It had nestled between two other clouds, and she could see the stormy gray eyes watching her every movement, and worse of all, it had a very defined face now...

As the week went on, the sky grew darker and cloudier until one day she was at school and saw the face, no longer hiding partially, staring hungrily at her. She paniced and screamed and screamed. Her teachers could not calm her down, so her parents were called to pick her up.

As they drove home, a thick fog rolled through the town. She kept begging for her parents to stop driving and get inside, anywhere, but they thought she was being hysterical...

Then, out of the fog came the face. Its cloudy teeth parting as the car drove closer. She screamed as the sound of crunching metal and breaking glass defeaning her...

She woke up two days later in the hospital. She had been pulled out of the wreakage of their car, which was found wrapped around a tree. Doctors blamed the fog but were puzzled... puzzled by the fact her parents were nowhere to be found...

But she knew the truth...

The episode on this cassette ends with her looking outside to see a single cloud in the blue sky...and she could see that face, ill defined...staring at her... and licking its lips...

That made me terrified of clouds.

Everytime I look up at big clouds, I imagine Jean Jacket hiding in them

First, they hang over your house, and then - follow you while you are driving.

Nope is not bad

I wouldn’t say it’s bad, but I also wouldn’t go to bat for it and say it’s good.

It has some neat ideas and moments but is a bit muddled IMO.

I saw nope with 2 people. One of them was asleep within 10 minutes and stayed that way until the movie was over. The other one was apparently the most movie illiterate person I’ve ever met, and ranted and complained about how the film made NO sense and was totally stupid. That really brought down my experience.
