I never laughed during Don't Look Up. Finally turned it off 45 minutes in. I wanted to like it but I just didn't.
I did rewatch of Lost with my wife about 5 years ago or so- she had never seen it. I really enjoyed watching it again and the ending was much more palatable the second time around when I wasn't expecting it to change the world.
I thought it was OK. Really agree with the message, but it just never grabbed me. Though topless urgent care and will there be a Super Bowl were funny. Not Idiocracy funny, but funny.
I’ve seen “Don’t Look Up” twice now and I give it 3 stars. I really enjoyed the premise and I think the performances by Leo, JLaw, and Jonah Hill were very good. I didn’t enjoy the editing, and I think the satire/farce elements were lazy, not because they weren’t accurate, but because they were focused on satirizing the Trump Presidency, which at this point is hack, and not only was the White House commentary tired, but the satirization of Trump voters was hack. It felt to me like that lame “Death to 2020”- Year in Review show, except with a sci-fi plot.
To summarize, watching “Don’t Look Up” felt a little bit like masturbating, it’s enjoyable while you do it, but you’re already very familiar with your own penis/vagina, so it’s not a revelatory experience that you learn from or take anything away from.
Your ogboads handle indicates a formidable understanding of your dong. I'll accept your movie review.
Yeah, The Alpinist was good Free Solo, Alpinist, and 14 Peaks are all interesting looks into the types of personalities it takes to do that kind of thing. All those guys have a bit of a screw loose that makes them do it, but all seem connected to something greater than themselves, even though it comes with personal accolades, etc...
