Random Question, Amanda. What cat-featuring films would you review? i mean.. films that has a real cat as a silent sidekick or constantly a concern for the protagonist? like how there's that one cat in A Man Named Otto/Ove?

[@alexv3372]

Are you willing to watch the Borderlands movie ??? It’s really bad… and I think you would love it!!!!

[@RaccoonsTrashVault]

Fun fact, Lupita was scared of cats before she agreed to being in the movie, and she ended up loving her kitty co-actors (two cats played Frodo)

[@valenfr01]

and she's a cat mom now too!

[@kinyacat5919]

Woah two cats?? I wonder why they need two though

[@ChristopherSadlowski]

​@@kinyacat5919 most modern movies usually have an animal understudy. In the event one of the animals gets sick or needs to decompress they can continue the shooting schedule with little disruption. I don't recommend you research the history of the use of animals in film if harm to animals is a trigger. If you don't want to, or can't, look for yourself just know it used to be horrific and now it's not as bad.

[@RaccoonsTrashVault]

@@valenfr01 Wait really?! That's amazing!!!

[@lnt305]

Also, cats aren’t that trainable, so you usually need a cat for each job. One cat, who is good at lying still, one cat who is boss at walking somewhere on demand, etc

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I did like that the cat had a moment at the premiere

[@kimberlyterasaki4843]

What was the moment?

[@dash-x]

I love seeing the animals these days on the step and repeats. They did it for the new Sabrina, they also had the kitty from Ms Marvel do an interview, and even the actor who okayed Dog pool did the step and repeat and was at the premier 🩵😹

the cat actually did take me out of the movie/suspense quite a lot: not making sounds, getting lost and them getting back like no problem, cat not being scared and hiding forever

[@theinvisibleme4104]

Yes!!

[@yulebones]

I had a bit of that stress at the beginning too, but I'm starting to get the impression that most directors will only, uh, take out animals or small children at the start of the movie, if at all, because people just hate seeing it and it feels like a cheap source of tension. Most of the time. (I still haven't seen Bird Box because what happened to the dog in the book still gives me nightmares. Same deal with Knock at the Cabin.)

[@JosefinaQB]

them deleting the scenes with josephs character is insane, the whole time im telling my friend "i think hes just following her and the cat cuz he has given up and the cat is all he has now" and i was literally correct- i wish they had kept that scene cause without it it makes it confusing why he is the way he is and you have to infer instead

[@JosefinaQB]

@@ssharkbait no not rlly- it can be easily inferred cause that’s a normal response from anyone in an apocalypse but the extra scene confirms and specifies it in a way the rest of the film simply does not- it’s not hold handing it’s character development

Just trying to make the bed makes my cat meow because she doesn't wanna get up

[@ziggystatdust6008]

My theory on why the Death Angels don't kill when hearing beating hearts is because after a while, they distinguish sounds of nature from much louder external noises. So noises like insects crawling, sounds of rain, and other noises, like human and animal heartbeats they understand are natural parts of the world they've entered. Unless that heartbeat makes an external noise, they'll not go for the kill.

[@tarnishedsoul2749]

That is such a smart theory!!!!

[@mrdavman13]

@@tarnishedsoul2749idt it’s a theory. It’s pretty much said outright in the movie

[@tarnishedsoul2749]

@mrdavman13 I actually hardly ever watch movies or TV at all. But Amanda the Jedi videos, ALWAYS! So 95% of the time, I watch her review things, knowing full well that I will never actually watch it myself, as is the case with this movie. Her personality and charisma are just top-tier, and I truly love her content. When certain media becomes popular enough, I am able to pick up enough breadcrumbs to at least develop a somewhat reasonable understanding of the premise and plot, so I can still appreciate her analysis and opinions.

My chatty tuxie yells constantly, and sometimes it's in English! He says Mama, hello, and my mother swears she heard him say bull sh*t. He was upset cause we wouldn't let him outside. He has no survival instincts and wants to be friends with everyone (including the cats that would rather claw his face off.)

[@terra__incognita]

I've got three. They'd all get me killed, but in different ways. One would just immediately vocally complain. The second would not say anything but would accidentally knock something over - or just fall off of something, the giant, ungraceful dummy. The third would also not say anything but would knock all the things over ON PURPOSE.

[@terra__incognita]

I forgot to say that I love them more than life itself. I do, very much so, I'm just very aware of their extremely individual personalities. They're actual siblings - from the same litter, even! - but they couldn't be more different from one another. Okay, cat babble over! Just worried that my original comment didn't get the love across properly. You know, in case they ever learn to read and use the internet.

[@boram_a]

I could get injured by my cat if I go like that, not by monsters 😬

[@mooncow-io]

Just a note on your hospice comment- you can be on hospice care and still have your own place! My grandpa had in-home hospice care at the end, and it was just a little hospital bed and machinery setup in his apartment, with a nurse who'd come and care for him for a certain amount of time a day (my aunt was there the rest of the time). He even had his little chihuahua with him, too.

[@hartthorn]

I could also imagine, if she's got a place on rent control, she might have been trying to figure something out and getting the apartment over to someone else as just an F-U to the landlords.

[@impposter560]

Yeah, en d of life care can and often does happen in-home. I think its actually the most common hospice, but its not talked about as widely as facility hospice so people don't know about it

The Quiet Place series is a good entry point for people who fall under the “Scared of Horror Movies but Love the Concept of Monsters and Killers” category. Outside the horror, the themes of family, sacrifice, and humanity are the true friends we made along the way. 😌

[@hwile]

Your point around 2:30/2:45 was the same issue I had. The newspapers he had seemed to imply that it took time to disocover how they track/took some time for the creatures to completely take over. But this movie seems to say, nah, we figured out they track with sound/can't swim in the first day. Edit after watching the whole vid: I'd be dead as fuck, one of my cats meows occasionally, but the other one is the neediest, loudest, cutest bitch alive.

I thought the military was evacuating the city and blowing up the bridges because they weren't all over yet. I thought it was implying new York was the first place to get hit by the aliens

[@thefriesofLockeLamora]

My theory is the newspapers weren't printed in new York or major cities. The death angels hadn't arrived and colonised the world in every place yet. But I don't see how distribution would have been possible

[@hwile]

@@thefriesofLockeLamora It admittedly has been a while since I've seen the first movie (still haven't seen the second), and I could give you this. But like the first commenter said, printing and distributing newspapers would be... a feat.

What a shame they cut that scene developing Eric's character. Perhaps if he shows up in a future A Quiet Place film (which would be awesome) they could develop his backstory there. I know this movie isn't flawless. I am disappointed they didn't fulfill the day one chaos and mystery and help us learn about the monsters... but it was emotional, and I damn near cried by the end. When you have fantastic performances on screen, with an emotional baseline underpinning action, great vfx; I'm more than happy to ignore just about all leaps in logic.

[@biazacha]

Would be a waste of characters not have both Eric and Frodo show up in the upcoming one.

[@neonnecropolis]

As a person (and Black woman) who survived an aggressive cancer a few years ago at a young age, I am just so tired of people dying of cancer in movies tbh. I get it! It's an easy plot device. But I remember it was so exhausting going through chemo and the cancer person either died or is a John Green style manic pixie cancer patient. It's a trope I wish movies examined, I promise there are other illnesses! Also my cat who got me through chemo would not survive a Quiet Place. My current idiot... well. Remains to be seen. He is spiritually an orange cat.

Personally, I love this movie and all three of them, exactly because there is no background story for anyone, no big talks, no lore or narration which explains every little detail to the viewers. They tell the story with subtle looks and gestures and it makes every single detail so much more meaningful and deeper for me. I had no idea about Joseph's character's background story, but I loved the ambiguity of it. It's cool to know, but I didn't really need it, I still went through a roller-coaster of emotions XD

Huh…my demon cat is actually very quiet when being held, even his purrs can be very low. The problem is, he doesn’t like being held unless you’re near constantly rocking/bobbing him like he’s a baby 😅 If you stop moving around for about 30sec-1min, he’ll start screaming and trying to wriggle away with his claws out, if you don’t immediately start rocking him and don’t let go, he’ll start biting. But if you manage to rock him before he bites, he’ll go back to be a quiet baby 😂 My other cat likes to just talk in general though, but he’s leash trained at least? He’s a black cat though and specifically likes to blend in with the dark and than throw his meows around so you can’t tell where he is….so maybe that would be useful? 🤣

I don't know, Amanda. You bring me joy with your review style and you also tend to make me think about the stories from new angles. Plus you add things - like the cut scene - that I wasn't aware of. I think there's a great deal of value in someone that not only lifts others moods but also mentally feeds their brain in interesting ways. In a world as fraught as ours currently, things that aren't heavy and are engaging are worth a great deal and you deliver both in a relatable way. I would trust you with my cat if we were ever in New York being invaded by aliens. Even if I don't currently have a cat or live anywhere near New York.

you talked about the movie cat so much, so now I wanna talk about mine. I have an old man who's hard of hearing, and he's always been a very vocal cat, but he's gotten louder and also likes to yell inside closets. Instant death. I have a grouchy girl. She complains about everything (being picked up, other cats looking at her) and is the 1st to scream when she thinks it's meal time and she will not stop until she has food in her mouth. Instant death as well. A little old man who is very chatty and does a lot of trills. Not overly loud for human ears, but definitely too much for aliens. Instant death. A shy girl who doesn't speak often, but when she does she only knows SCREAM. Delayed death. And lastly a little dust cloud who never figured out the human range of hearing and she meows super softly or even completely quietly. So it's nice to know I have one cat who would survive this specific apocalypse.

For me, the movie wasn't about the monsters. It's never been about the monsters is about humans. I think the first movie is about family and the sacrifices we make for them. The second movie is about growing up, the two kids finding their own strengths, and also sacrifices. And this movie was about life, what it means to live a full life, that its about connections. It was about her going through the steps of grieving but for herself. I think that's why the first and last ones hit harder because they had deeper meanings.

Frodo is the chillest cat to exist, maybe ever, in fiction or reality.

[@justheretocommentokdontwan685]

Mildly unrelated but as a dog lover I felt that way rewatching Widows yesterday, movie kept putting that sweet angel baby in peril

[@CamWinks]

Walking out of the theater my family and I were trying to figure out which of our shared 7 cats would survive and only two. An orange tabby (the mister in yellow) who barely makes noise and a black cat (chat noir) who would survive until he was hungry. Then he would scream and be taken XD.

[@HAVgiraffe]

i was expecting it to be a "bigger" movie but it was just as small as the others...i was expecting more from it, but maybe the fourth one will deliver

[@izzyrose2424]

I appreciate how Amanda is mirroring my energy and concerns about Frodo.

[@talic-os5899]

The dumb sounds that do not attract the monsters, and it makes me crazy, is steps. Like, the monsters hear some super quiet shit, but then don't hear normally loud sounds...

[@Elora445]

That's why I can't watch movies like this one, they are not consistent in how the aliens work. Can they hear even the smallest sounds or not? If they do, then humanity would be screwed, period.

[@BewareTheJadePhoenix]

if my cat feels ignored, including when i'm ASLEEP, she starts tossing shit off my desk. I've woken many a 3 am to the sounds.

[@quirkyquail7672]

They propable decided to cut the suicide plot to keep ratings low which is disappointing

[@limerence8365]

Most horror movies aren't scared to kill off the majority of the cast but apocalypse movies actually make you happy they survive in the end, especially this one where it's about human connection.

[@waywardscythe3358]

I feel like a World War Z (novel) deconstruction of the A Quiet Place universe would be way more interesting. Show us the military setting of air raid sirens in a town remotely to draw the death angels in and then nuking them. Show us the successor state forces in padded gear with fully silenced subsonic single shot 20mm rifles with exploding bullets. Show us the modified Abrams tanks with extra armor sharpened tungsten spikes and speakers to serve as mobile death traps. Show us how larger settlements soundproofed and fought off initial waves. The domed cities and government mandated sign language training. Or a future city where they still have noise level mandates long after the threat is gone.

I very much loved this installment and I wasn’t expecting to. The emotions were so genuine, the performances by Lupita and Joe were fantastic, I felt like over all the theme and message were written beautifully (especially that little moment where we see that the yellow sweater belonged to Sam’s dad!). I don’t think any installment is going to be better than the first but I felt like this one wasn’t trying to outdo or replicate the original, it felt like it was really pulling its own weight to be something that stands out on its own while paying reverence to the idea and heart of the first film

[@TalenynWren]

I love the ending for the same reason that comes up in the previous movies of going out on your own terms, making a decision that feels worth it instead of senseless (like an inescapable monster or cancer)

[@mandyb2245]

I'm with Lupita in this movie. My mind is on the pizza. Ugh, my allergies would kill me right away. I cough and sneeze several times while I'm awake. I'd be dead right away. Frodo is the calmest quietest cat I have ever seen!

[@literallyimtrash7975]

What makes it easier for me to handle animals in stressful situations is remembering they are paid actors. Like that cat most definitely got its fair share of treats and attention.

[@madbyinstinct]

A lot of Cat, and no Kids as main characters. As a mom of kids and cats, I approve and applaud this choice. The first two movies and all the babysitting around aliens are way too stressful for me to go back to. Let the kitty cook 😌

[@whitey00112]

Saddest part about this movie is the implication that Eric doesn’t live. Because he was with a known survivor in the future but was, himself, not seen there.

[@Emilaria]

The main thought I had the whole time was how the crap did they find a cat who never made a sound. I've never known a silent cat. I also wondered how the cat held its breath.

[@justlikethewizard]

I'm all of the people running while the cats are yelling for sure. Honestly I wouldn't even get to running, both of my boys meow when I pick them up. RIP us I guess.

[@xen0bia]

I have the perfect cat to survive in this universe! She's not mute (she purrs and makes very quiet thrills), but she may as well be as she never vocalizes - she uses her front paws to express needs, it's the cutest thing ever! ...My second cat on the other end... Yeah, we'd be dead pretty quickly.

[@MadGrubble]

A quiet place: You fart, you die 💨

[@akabutu7565]

One of your videos popped up in a search I did about a weird movie I watched and loved your review.....so naturally I binge watched more of your videos and had to subscribe 😃

[@maxTheTimeSlasher]

22:05 I think they're just trying to let the survivors know that they're leaving. Which makes sense since they stop once they saw Eric running.

[@lunavioleta001]

I think I might like this more than the first one. I definitely liked it more than the second one. I do not care or want scenes of characters talking about "what these are". Is not necessary. I'm glad they just focused on the "now" and moved on. I'm also glad there weren't any action scenes.

[@youreverydayrae]

That's what I love about these movies. I don't really care about where the aliens come from or why they're here I care about the characters and the drama and I hope that's what they continue to focus on in this series

[@blaze14ZX]

I would have loved that deleted scene. Quinn's character is still someone I feel for by the end but I was constantly asking myself why is this dude so clingy. I gotta see if they have any justification for taking that scene out, the runtime isn't even that long.

[@Dinozzzaur]

I think I didn't mind the world building missing some aspects since we already got that in the previous movies. I do wish there was a scene along the lines of rats scurrying around near the death angels, without problem, then one of the rats squeaks and BAM! Creature says no way José.

[@TD-vo2ew]

I have 4 cats. Bobby is constantly talking! Cannot get him to shut up and when you do, he purrs sooooo loudly. Draco screams whenever he sees me or there's a chance for food or treats. Rex is a quiet boy, unlike his twin Bobby. And Riddle only meows once a day but he eats really loudly and is the only of my cats who has a bell. Either way I'm dead.

[@kblixt]

All three of the movies have been killer for me but this one and the first one are my favorites.

[@nikitabreslin4568]

I can't believe I didn't realise until I watched this... Sam has a cat called Frodo. Sam has to carry and protect Frodo.

[@bradyweed4124]

God bless my mom for telling me the cat survived in the end, only way I made it through, I was so stressed

[@ashleeray2862]

I considered all of the newspapers a plot hole for the first movie. Because there was no way those printing presses wouldn’t attract all the aliens

[@dash-x]

I’m glad you did this. I already had written it off despite being curious because I can’t handle seeing a kitty in even fake dangerous situations. Its too much for me to handle ✨🩵✨ Bless your fluffy heart for doing this for us 😹🩵

That librarian joke was gold
