How was it? I’m not sure if I want to check it out

But bc I love trash tv, know I already finished Emily in Paris and have some thoughts

[dodgingwork]

ONTD for whatever reason hates it, I loved it. It's just a very obvious satire about how we react to crises as a society today. Think Idiocracy but the subject is not "morons" but "science-denial". It lampoons everybody, the left and the right, the corporations, the governments, the media and the people. It's not trying to change minds, it's just trying to be a mirror, and it succeeds all too well. The comet is climate change (and Covid) and the way people react(ed) to both is pretty flawlessly depicted soooo 🤷🏽♀️

I laughed a lot. It also had a surprising amount of heart, mostly in the form of Timmy C and brief cuts to the beauty and the glories of the world. The final scene got me emotional fr

[coolio_iglesias]

I completely agree with everything you said. At moments it made me feel very emotional especially the end.

Saddest moment was Yule asking Kate if she wanted to hang out and be his girlfriend like 5 hours before the end of the world. Feels man

i teared up at the end tbh

[heaventrembles]

This sounds amusing in theory but the fact that it was filmed in the middle of a whole-ass pandemic seems a little ironic and makes me feel like the creators have no room to fucking talk lol

[dodgingwork]

Tons of movies have been filmed during the pandemic, it's been almost two years now. As long as they all followed COVID protocols and were tested I don't have a problem with people doing their jobs. Was the whole industry supposed to shut down until the end of the pandemic? I got family in theater and this period was hard enough tbh

[heaventrembles]

I'd argue that we're still in a pandemic nearly 2 years later BECAUSE rich people decided it was their god-given right to continue making money at the cost of their employee's lives in spite of vaccines not being globally available. There's no way to safely film a movie with a giant ensemble cast during a pandemic. I'm sorry, but I'm done pretending that a 50% accurate test done on someone who wasn't even quarantining for two weeks beforehand means shit.

But I'm well aware that trying to shift opinions where Covid is concerned is always a losing game so w/e. Hope you're having a happy and omicron-free holiday, hun. I'll be burying my youngest uncle this new years.

[dodgingwork]

Yes, I disagree, I don't think theater and cinema needed to shut down for the entire pandemic with no restart date in sight.

I'm sorry for your loss.

[heaventrembles]

waiting until everyone has access to vaccines before we start gathering in large numbers or simply not filming a movie with a giant ensemble cast in the middle of the US's most deadly Covid spike yet =/= no theater or movies for anyone ever again

thank you, I know it's been a difficult couple of years for everyone and I truly do hope you and your family stay as healthy and safe as possible.

[agentsoup]

Oooh boy you really missed the point.

[dodgingwork]

Oh boy, you're being flippant on ONTD, must mean you're really smart... take this: 👏

🙄

[theblackwidow]

I also loved it

[solsty]

I loved it too. I thought it was sad actually.

[dodgingwork]

Yeah the last third hit hard for me. The movie went really fast into "well, guess this really IS going to happen". The quick shots to random bits of the world, from bees to the Buddha's statue to a city to the baby getting a bath, it just really drove home how horrifyingly sad annihilation would be/in some ways, will be. And the family dinner at the end was really masterfully acted. Left me feeling Melancholia-levels sad.

[lolzerz]

its sad because its reality
