Nope Jordan Peele - Tumblr Posts
Absolutely in love with this fan art 😍😍
Recently I watched the movie Nope, and I loved it so much! It’s probably one of my new favorites, and if I had to pick a favorite character it would have to be Jupe! I’ve been dealing with some art block, but then I remembered something about using a screencap of a scene in a movie to create a color study! So that’s what I did, with one of my favorite scenes in Nope. The eyes were definitely a struggle, but I’m happy with what I managed to create. The suit is definitely my favorite part of this piece-
Here’s the scene in the movie for comparison:
Can we also just agree Steven Yeun kills it in this cowboy getup?? Like hello-
Dressed up as Jean Jacket from Nope for Halloween this year! I made all of the costume myself, and as #1 JJ kinnie I think I did pretty okay.
And also my good friend RustyTusks as Gordy :)
SO.
I finally watched Jordan Peele's Nope that was released in 2022 on Prime Video and is the fact that I'm like a year late to watching it gonna stop me from ranting?
Nope! (Har har)
HOL-EE SHIT. Jordan Peele has once again done an outstanding job. I personally find this his most scariest movie yet, and yeah it might be because UFO horror movies that are done right scare the hell out of me (War Of Worlds) because there's always that unspoken thing of how helpless human beings are. You can't fight it you can only run and hide, and Nope shows that PERFECTLY.
The Star Lasso Experience is HORRIFYING. All of those people getting sucked into Jean Jacket's throat and slowly being swallowed and judging by those squishing noises right before the blood rain maybe even chewed is absolutely terrifying. Jean Jacket's sounds? That popping noise? Fucking creepy as hell!
Most of the movie taking place during the day in wide open desert with no cover from the giant extraterrestrial predator flying over your head and trying to suck you up into it's maw? YES.
And Jupe, I feel so fucking bad for his character and how he turned his trauma into entertainment, and fatally exposed himself and others to the same scenario he and his costars were with Gordy. I've read abour the symbolisms with the other shoe dropping and victims' traumas being turned into clout and I love that Jordan Peele addressed these things but did it in a way that people could figure it out without being told directly.
I could go on and on about this movie, it's just, SO, GOOD.
The Widget app is fun, yes you can have little plants and pets that you can take care of and all, but I'm more in it for the out of context, dumb doodles I get to send my friend that she has yet to notice and also having them greet me on my home screen every time I open my phone like this little Jupe here. :)
