 10 Items or Less, with Morgan Freeman, and Don't Look Up with Leo DiCaprio.
Some great dark comedy in both.
Look Up is more Social Satire than Sci-Fi, and not off the Mark by any means.
Loved the ending!!!

 was great!
And I fore-saw it!
I thought most of it was funny, even hilarious.

Good shot of the Space Ship leaving while Earth was exploding.
And Mark Rylance is a Fav!

 

OK, oops, spoiler. Watch it anyway! nt, posted on December 26, 2021 at 08:59:35

I did like the Bill Gates parody character - with his slipping into falsetto [nt] ;-), posted on December 26, 2021 at 15:24:48

 Definitely not gates hes the only gazillionaire not interested in space

 

That's true - however the parody in this movie is so broad and scattershot. . . , posted on December 27, 2021 at 01:26:20

 . . . that that may not have mattered to the writers. Here's another one for you:

There's a theory that President Streep was intended to be a female version of Trump. Yes? No?

 Yeah, I'd say Streep's character shared something with The Great Denier, as did Jonah H's with one of TGD's sons.

 another review from over a week ago.
Figured people were already watching it.
Still, it will still work when you see it in context!

 

There's more to it! It will Still be a great last scene! nt, posted on December 27, 2021 at 11:35:25

 Fun stuff but I KNEW about... the Trumpette's end and just... had to wait.

No hard feelings...

My wife was VERY surprised!

Did you stay long enough to know which character this tune applies to?

And on further reflection, I'm thinking that Streep's character is also a composite, posted on December 28, 2021 at 14:27:36

 Trump and Ivanka, more likely. I mean, he even said he'd date her if she wasn't his daughter. That, I'd argue, is one of the creepiest Dad comments of all time and I can't think of one other one, actually...

 I enjoyed it! It was a real surprise! Great ending!
I think the Pres was more of a Hillary clone. She even had a photo on her desk with Hillary and Bil.

 We struggled to finish it.

Is this the best the US is capable of producing these days?


 

Hell may be many things, but hardly boring... nt, posted on December 30, 2021 at 09:19:12

Are you asking about the movie or the characters it portrays?

If both, I'd say no and yes as opposed to yes and no.
