10 Thoughts We All Had During And After Watching The Movie 'Us'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tzFRIQfwXg

As we've all heard, Jordan Peele's newest cinematic roller coaster, "Us", has made its big debut in the theaters this past weekend and boy do I have questions. Before we dive right into the chaos that was my thoughts and prayers I had during the terrified (let's just be honest here) experience, I have a tip for all you movie go-ers out there: come prepared. I don't just mean emotionally and mentally, but literally. I mean bring blankets so you can hide, get snacks because all that nervous energy has to go somewhere, and bring a friend because you may need the support system after. So buckle up and grab your security blanket because here are 10 of the many thoughts, questions, and comments I had during the movie. Big spoiler alerts, FYI.

1. First off, can we all agree this happened because of Adelaide's dad?

Universal Pictures

Let this be a reminder to everyone to watch your children because you honestly never know when they'll wander off and get switched with their evil clone and take over the world. Just saying.

2. "I'm scared", "Let's go home", "Whose idea was this?"

Very common phrases you'll hear. Just wait.

3. How annoying were the twins? Besides very.

https://worldwideinterweb.com/the-twins-who-played-emma-on-friends-are-all-grown-up-and-starring-in-the-horror-movie-us/

Even their normal, human selves were annoying. Is it bad to say I like their Tethered versions better?

4. The boy-dog? The creepy and totally unsettling boy-dog?

https://www.dreadcentral.com/editorials/291489/spoilers-the-double-twist-in-us-you-totally-missed/

I don't even know what to say. I guess I'm just glad my dog doesn't wear a mask. Or copy what I do, smile at me all creepily, or play with fire.

5. Speaking of the boy-dog, Jason is one of "The Tethered".

https://www.slashfilm.com/us-movie-ending/

This is one of the only things I'm certain of. This explains the seemingly stronger bond between him and Adelaide, his weird obsession with his mask, and why he saw and drew a picture of the Jeremiah 11:11 homeless man. The same homeless man Adelaide saw. Coincidence? I don't think so. Oh, and not to mention the very last scene in the ambulance after we find out about the ole switcheroo when Adelaide looks at Jason and gives him a little smile.

6. I found a lot of relief in the (little) comic relief.

Obviously, I know that's the point. All I'm saying is in dark times like that, whatever little dad joke was thrown in there is so helpful. We all know this is the funniest part of the whole movie. Keep this in mind when things get scary.

7. Can we talk about how creepy and terrifying she is?

Giphy

I feel this in my soul.

8. The once classic feel good song, "Good Vibrations" is now ruined for me.

Just like you can't unsee the scene, you can't unhear the song.

9. Why was Adelaide snapping off- beat in the car?

Giphy

We all know at this point that she is actually a Tether (again, sorry for the spoilers). So while they're listening to "I got 5 on it", she tries to help Jason get into the rhythm. But her snapping and beat was way off. And we learned she was a dancer. So wouldn't you assume she would be able to pick up the beat?

10. Finally, Adelaide's outfit in the last part of the movie.

Her clothes were once white and ended bloodstained from the various encounters she faces, matching the red jumpsuits the Tether's wear. This implies the double meaning of her identity.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
