I think its firmly both. There are a lot of great ideas in the movie, and they come across really well when you discuss it. But its also a mess of a film that cares more about allegory and metaphor than narrative.

Yeah, the first three are supposed to be one series. Sum of All Fears was a reboot, as was Shadow Recruit.

Bad people can make good art. I’d never want to meet him, but I can’t say he didn’t kill it in Signs. I’ve never seen it, but I hear amazing things about Braveheart

Two things can be true. Makeup can be a healthy form of self-expression for people who use it AND a brick in the overall wall that is gendered oppression.

It goes like this

1. create 2 distinct numbers by isolating the last digit from the other. For example, 154 becomes 15 and 4.

2. double the number derived from the last digit. So, the four becomes 8.

3. subtract from the number derived from the preceeding digits. 15 - 8.

4. the resulting number is 7. Seven is divisible by 7, so we know 154 is divisible by 7.
