Remember When It Was About Silence?
Remember when you saw A Quiet Place in the theater and that Culdesac Cathy had all the neighborhood kids playing along with the characters in the movie and trying to be quiet too, going “tee-hee-hee” while they gently crunched their popcorn and M&Ms?
Remember when you stood up, threw your chicken bones at the screen, chugged your beer, yelled “Fuck this stupid shit!” and walked out because A Quiet Place was one of the stupidest movies you’ve ever seen in a long career sitting through stupid movies?
Remember how Culdesac Cathy mean mugged you? Remember how the children cowered and cried as you exited, muttering profanity under your breath?
Remember how that one kid with the weird haircut, probably from a broken home, grinned giddily at you, happy to be back in his chaotic normal?
Maybe that was just my AQP experience.
They Loud Now? They Loud Now!
In the sequel to the smash hit of 2018, we cover familiar ground:
Following the deadly events at home, the Abbott family must now face the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight for survival in silence. Forced to venture into the unknown, they quickly realize that the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats that lurk beyond the sand path.
“Deadly events”, huh? Does that mean dad is dead? I think it does.
Let’s all check out the new trailer called “Fight”:
That is an awful lot of talking and noise.
Allow me to posit this theory: the reason why they are making so much of a racket is there’s no husband or father around to tell them to shut up.
A Quiet Place II will make more than enough money to guarantee A Quiet Place III and IV when it is released to thunderous applause in theaters on March 20th, 2020.
A Quiet Place shared cinematic universe, anyone?
“I set up a couple of tiny little Easter eggs in II that not only explain more about I, but would allow for more mythology. But, being a Boston Catholic, I can’t be like, ‘Yeah, of course, there’ll be a third!’ No, not at all.”
