Clarke Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Decent parody/satire. Mocked Trump from start to finish (nepotism, shovels, anti-science, lock her up ~ don't look up etc). dial_100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hilarious I found this one funnier, and it's on a similar topic (US politics, vote banks and some of the news cycle) in the pre trump era. The Will Ferrell character is a total riot with good support from Zach & Dylan. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1790886/ Edited January 3, 2022 by Clarke Vijy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gattaca Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 The movie has a hidden message about global warming. The temp of our planet rose 4 deg c during ice age and it melted the ice and now we are seeing similar temp rise. US is still leading producer of co2 it is the inaction which is similar to global warming. The movie is portraying how US is not doing much to improve.

He stole the show for me Clarke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnterTheVoid Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Ron Pearlman shooting at the asteroid shouting "You can't take my freeeeeedom" or some nonsense to that effect had me in splits Reminds me of all the idiots during COVID who complained their freedoms were infringed. Because they had to wear a mask. Or because they couldn't get their hair done. Edited January 3, 2022 by EnterTheVoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_rules Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Meh, lame attempt by Hollywood libtards, made by Dems, for Dems and To Dems’ consumption only. Satire or parody can’t be done by everybody.

I thought it was rather one-note as well, and tended to be rather smug about its own "enlightened" outlook at times. I liked it, but can't say that I would rate it highly.

EnterTheVoid Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) The last couple of years have been so bizarre, I've forgotten what "normal" looks like. First, there were the bush fires. Than COVID. Each time, we don't listen to the scientists. We listen to idiot talk show hosts, we spread stupid memes that underline the message. Every time there is some calamity, one camp believes it, one camp denies it (conspiracy theorists), one camp tries to profit from it some way. There is this one really sad/funny scene: When Leo tries to warn of the incoming asteroid, one of the chamchas goes "this one needs media training" Edited January 5, 2022 by EnterTheVoid sandeep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McCoy Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Most hollywood/netflix movies are not that funny at all if you look at what they promote. Maybe some immature guy finds them funny and it is marketed to dumb people and is one of the causes to dumb down the masses. They also mock the "peasants" as unscientific if they don't go by the movies' agenda. why would you even watch them or pay your hard earned money to watch them laugh at you. Most people in Europe don't find american movies funny at all. You see many people from Europe find it fascinating that americans will laugh at anything. Indians are no better because we consume american entertainment either directly or their copycatted ones in "bollywood". I read reviews on this very thread about this movie and it proved my conviction. global warming promotion in movies are never funny. asteroid hitting earth and scientist blah blah is so 90s. NOT FUNNY!!! Swag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't follow American politicians. You take any pressing issue the world is facing today and it's the same story. Ignore the science. Undermine the scientists. Make enough distracting noise and hope the problem goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good satire movies are Thank you for smoking and Wag the Dog. Really? I thought those two were very average The movie had a stellar cast. But all the roles were dumbed down. They had to be, I think. The point they were trying to get across is that dumb people stopped at no lengths undermine the scientists (Leo/Jennifer Lawrence) until it was too late. Kate Blanchett nailed the role of the annoying morning TV show host. You know, the ones that are happy about everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariyam Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I found the premise odd. The president of the most powerful country had 6 months to destroy a measly comet but instead chose to get refrigerated for 20k years and return to a new Earth with Alice in Wonderland style fauna?
