Boring as hell - Victor Khomenko 06:42:36 12/30/21 (2)
We struggled to finish it.

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

  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.

I thought seeing The Pres get killed and eaten - oldmkvi 08:56:45 12/26/21 (14)
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 - oldmkvi 08:59:35 12/26/21 (13)

      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. . . - Chris from Lafayette 01:26:20 12/27/21 (4)

        . . . 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?
        
        Parody has to be somewhat "broad," or else it's caricature or mockery. - tinear 07:48:18 12/27/21 (0)

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

        And on further reflection, I'm thinking that Streep's character is also a composite - Chris from Lafayette 14:27:36 12/28/21 (1)

        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...
  - Thanks... - musetap 11:33:16 12/26/21 (3)
    Dumbass.

    - I thought it had been out for some while. There's - oldmkvi 11:33:39 12/27/21 (2)
      another review from over a week ago.
      Figured people were already watching it.
      Still, it will still work when you see it in context!
      - Watched it last night... Rylance was more brilliant than usual in a Jobsian manner... - musetap 14:49:14 12/27/21 (1)

        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?
