I'm not the biggest fan of DeLillo -- brilliant writer, no doubt, but he tended (back when I was reading him) to explicate his themes rather than trust the reader to suss them out. But what I disliked about White Noise the novel -- it was about too much -- I actually liked about the movie. It was kind of a mess, but a zany, enjoyable mess.
I always appreciate Scott's insight on a film, but I didn't share his appreciation of M3GAN. Everything I expected to happen, did happen and then the credits rolled. I was hoping for something a little more outside the box than what wound up on screen.
WHITE NOISE combined enough Altman, Baumbach and Gilliam vibes to work on me. I could easily forgive it's shortcomings because of all the good in there: Driver's performance, every scene with the professors, the dual lecture, the way that cloud eclipses the Shell sign at the gas station and the end credits scene.
who wins in a fight: M3GAN or S1M0NE?

I guess it being mainly a comedy helps explain the crazy idea to make a companion doll that inherently looks possessed

How in God's name did White Noise cost $100M to make?
