The Invisible Man (Leigh Whannell, February 28, 2020) Movie

weirdly didn't see a thread for this already (don't say it was also invisible)

 

missing this tonight to see emma

 

reviews for this have been really good so far.

 

Love me some Lizzie Moss. Definitely checking it out once I shake this damn bout of bronchitis.

 

Nice of them to show the entire movie in that trailer

 

some people who’ve seen it already say that’s not the case

 

Honestly ive been looking forward to this lol.

 

Yeah I won’t be seeing this movie due to my love and adoration for the original (Whereas this one just looks bland) as well as Moss’ relation/endorsement to/of Scientology, which after starring in the extremely overrated show that is The Handmaid’s Tale, is another ironic role she’s somehow starring in (I also just don’t find her to be lead actress worthy)

A couple of my friends along with their s/o’s had the chance to see this and they said it was a run of the mill horror film. Though tbf, one of them said they still had a fun time watching it and would watch it again

 

Every indication that this is great. Can’t wait.

 

i’m quite excited for this

 

i thought this looked horrible based on trailers, reviews definitely have piqued my interest tho

 

Oof had no idea that Moss was into scientology

 

Also, I'd argue that Moss is maybe THE most exciting actress working right now.

 

i like her acting quite a bit. her being a scientologist sucks big time though.

 

still haven't seen her smell

 

Is this the Unpopular Entertainment Opinions thread?

Her being a Scientologist does suck, though.

 

It should be noted she was raised a Scientologist which I think makes it slightly better

 

I agree with this. Honestly I don't see it as THAT much worse as being raised a Catholic and still defending the Catholic church. It sucks, but that shit is hard to scrub from your life completely. I think I'd call myself a pretty solid atheist but I'm still pretty positive I'll deathbed convert and am still mildly afraid of the idea of a hell.

 

That's a fair point. As far as I know, she's never been vocal about her support of Scientology and being in the middle of a pretty big career, would have to worry so much about the harassment she would face from them if she did come out against them.

The comment she made about her religion contradicting her religious beliefs was pretty much a non-answer and just said "I'm a feminist and I support Freedom of Speech," so I don't think she's comfortable speaking on it.

 

This made me look up a list of some celebrity Scientologists and I'm sad to see that Michael Peña is also on that list heh

 

Yeah, as a member of a cult, raised and indoctrinated in it, she’s also brainwashed and a victim — while that doesn’t necessarily excuse some behavior of such ones.

 

I say it’s worse only because of how captive it is and some of the tactics they use.

 

Absolutely. And the aspect of utilizing financial classes to further indoctrination, doesn't paint her in a positive light as she probably is given a higher "level" than other because of her social/financial status. It's very gross and exploitative, moreso than the Catholic church. But its getting into the weeds of the matter

 

hopefully seeing this tomorrow
