i guess its a new movie, kind of a parody type movie with a comet aiming at earth going to destroy the world.

I guess my point is, the dumb arse corrupt president involved with the global tech companies in movie is the republican side and the truth seekers are the democrat liberals in movie.

Is it me or is this totally fricking backwards? Jesus frick this pisses me off.

The analogy of what our current administration is doing and saying is palpable.

It’s analogical with climate change being the asteroid and it stars Meryl Streep and Leo Dicpario.

Did you not expect it to be a leftist circle jerk?

I think it’s meant as a global warming analogy, but Covid analogy is more accurate.

Shout out to Clob94 on Texags...

Streaming now on Netflix.....



Stop reading if you don't want to know.







You've been warned.







So Leo and Jennifer Lawrence are astronomers that discover a comet that is going to hit the earth in 6 months and kill us all. They go see President Meryll Streep and Chief of Staff Jonah Hill and explain to them that we are all gonna die. Prez Streep blows them off and they go to the media. The media laughs at them and calls it a hoax.

The internet lights up with hoax memes and idiots on tic tok doing stupid videos-- nobody is taking the "threat" seriously and it's driving the scientists nuts.
It's a parallel of "global warming"........ disguised as a comet.

So the US government finally does the math and realize it's coming-- the comet will hit the earth.

So they load Ron Pearlman up in a space shuttle and lanch off 100 nuclear missiles to ride along side him to deflect the comet.

But a super rich Bill Gates type guy convinces the WhiteHouse that the comet has 140 trillion dollars worth of rare elements in it that can be mined for profit.

So they devise a eay to split the comet into smaller pieces before impact, so the entire planet doesn't die-- just "some poor people" and then the rich corporations are going to mine the comet pieces and get rich-er. Do you see how the story line parallels global warming?

Then the media and Whitehouse spin it to the point that half of America believes there is no comet, that it's all a hoax......It's officially politicized at this point.

And then DiCaprio has a freak out moment on live TV where he drops F bombs and screams that everybody is going to die.... blah blah blah-- riots ensue...

So half the world believes its real and half thinks its a hoax.

Then a few weeks later the comet can be seen in the night sky. The internet goes nuts with people telling everyone to "Just look up" to see the comet is real........ and Prez Streep starts a campaign (while wearing a red baseball cap) telling people to "don't look up" in order to deny the existence of the comet.......the "don't look up" crowd are all fat rednecks wearing red baseball caps.....

Hollywood and the music industry get on board with the comet coming and Arriana Grande sings a song about getting your head out of your arse and believing the science...

Russia, China and India send a joint mission to deflect the comet-- it fails miserably.
Super rich Bill Gates guy sends his drones up to save the day and they fail.

Long story short-- it's a global warming/climate denier/MAGA hit piece.

Most scientists in the physical sciences that would know about some impending disaster like a volcano, asteroid, etc are moderates slightly on one side or the other, or far more commonly libertarians in my experience. In movies they are almost always portrayed as lefties, and not the moderate type.

I found the 'don't look up' as more prominent in theme as to what our current situation is.

They were being told not to pay attention to the 'outsiders' of the government.

SPOT ON. Yes, it IS "backwards" -- by design.

Predictive Programming. (yes, that's all "entertainment" is at this point)

They are mocking us (as usual). Need a break from life's insanity? Satanic Hollywood cackles: "NOPE. Bwaahaa! There will be no rest for the weary."

Are y'all saying "Don't Watch It"?

Kind of like the suggested theme of the movie, eh?

So would you say the movie is more "a cat turd covered in dog vomit" or "a pile of human feces with used syringes as ornaments"?

Yup. (The same Meryl Streep, who once boasted to the world that serial-abuser Harvey Weinstein was a "god").

It’s an ok movie. I would pay to watch it, but it’s a decent Netflix movie.

i won't say this.

I would also argue that its so fricking absurd as to who they are pretending is in bed with the global forces and tech companies controlling the world and to lie to our fricking face acting like its the republic rednecks that was BANNED FROM SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS is pretty fricking hysterical. Like fricking acts of civil war hysterical. This folks is literal proof of how dumb they think their sheep herd is.
