I’m rewatching Arrival after having watched Mickey 17 yesterday and going “what was that movie where they try to talk to the aliens”. It’s cracking me up that the top realdebrid result is from a torrent titled “41 best movies to watch when stoned (all High IMDB)”

I really couldn’t remember so much from this movie though, so it’s kind of nice watching it all over again. Can’t believe it’s 9 years old

that’s a great movie in so many ways, the science of it, the philosophy of it, the social impact and the personal decisions

and it’s visually beautiful

  As someone with an interest in linguistics and semantics I absolutely loved it - especially in a family full of men who only think maths and engineering matters

    Suzette Haden Elgin’s Native Tongue series would be right up your alley

    Ooh thanks for the recommendation, it really does sound exactly like what I’d be interested in. Will hunt it down on libraries
