Don't Look Up (Adam McKay, December 24 2021) Movie • Page 15

Yeah but the ones “in charge” are not oblivious. Industry knew about man made climate change and generally what it would do kept if we didn’t rapidly reduce emissions many decades ago. The politicians have known about this too. It’s not that they’re idiots, they’re corrupt. There is a ton of wealth and power involved in the world’s reliance on fossil fuels.
This movie is just a terrible satire of climate change and what needs to be done and most of all who is responsible.

 

Practically my entire extended family is obsessed with Yellowstone, a show I only know about from them telling me about it

 

Honestly I am curious about checking it out

 

I’ve been told it’s Succession but for Republicans.

 

It’s like sons of anarchy set on a ranch in Montana. It’s not good but it’s entertaining.

 

The new Sandra Bullock movie is like the definition of ok. Something that felt like it was made for tv. Nothing memorable or good but millions of things that are worse.

there are a few hilariously misplaced scenes that definitely were accidentally left in after other scenes were cut or moved around in order. One so bad that even my step dad who can’t remember or follow anything noticed.

Edit: I’ve sat here for like 10 minutes and I can’t come close to thinking of the title and I watched this like 2 weeks ago so that should sum it up lol

 

Seems pretty in line with Taylor Sheridan, a guy that seems to lean left with “Hell or High Water” and “Wind River”) and right (“Sicario” and seemingly this)

 

i wouldn’t say sheridan appears to be strictly speaking a republican or that the show appeals to them at all but i’m also not willing to die on that hill

 

In what way is Sicario right wing? It is a movie about how fucked up the CIA is lol

 

Random, but I wish S. Craig Zahler wasn't a right-winger. Bone Tomahawk fucking rules

 

People with bad politics can make good art and people with good politics can make bad art. It happens

 

Sicario portrays Mexico the same way Tucker Carlson does.

 

“Sicario: Day of The Soldado” (a movie that basically doesn’t exist) is much worse. It starts with a Mexican terrorist bombing a grocery store and just goes from there.

And by no mean am I saying people with bad politics can’t make good art. I love some of Sheridan’s stuff. I just am baffled by whatever politics he has because it seems all over the place.

 

Love all his movies

 

Comparing art to political ideology is hard. Right-wing politics is so much about obeying authority and carrying on tradition that it stands in stark contrast to art's goal to challenge and question. At the very least, it is much harder to be funny on the right.

 

Wow yeah this was really awful, I had low expectations but god this dragged on so long. So many scenes felt like the characters just retreading the exact same stuff that they talked about in the prior scene. Halfway through I was just looking forward to the spectacle of the comet hitting lol

 

Arts goal is not limited to challenging and questioning, art has the power to encapsulate and express the entire human spectrum of experiences and emotions. Honest, powerful, and interesting displays will always overcome its creator's politics.

 

Same. Can't wait to see what he does next.

 

I read this in Nicole Kidman’s AMC ad voice.

 

oops

 

there were endless tweets *joking* about him doing exactly this!!!!!

 

hashtag like a J6

 

christ

 

I fully for a second thought they meant that Billy Ray Cyrus was going to be in the movie

He could probably play one of the stormers

 

This had its moments, but it was borderline painful to get finish. It should have been an hour shorter. The messaging was far too heavy-handed to be impactful.
