Watched House Of Dynamite this morning. Definitely an entertaining thriller. No spoilers.

Unfortunately, they had to sprinkle in the wokeness. They surely had to make sure the President was black. They also featured Angel Reese, which was not surprising, but obviously would have been a better role for Clark. And of course, the powerful women had to be inserted into several key roles.

I’m not sure how accurate any of it is in regard to real life operations, but if it is anywhere close to being accurate, it really gave me the feeling of how much of a bubble those folks really live in. Their lives revolve around power. From the staffers all the way up to the cabinet members.

Would still recommend watching.

Watched a season of silo, the wokeness didn’t stand out like most series, other than the silo has its on Bible called the pack, and the obvious lack of anything referencing a God. I normally expect them to introduce the homo storyline by episode 2-3, but I made the whole season. But there it is s2 episode 1, lesbos

The Establishment has been working overtime to make Angel Reese a "star" and a big deal. Google is always promoting her in their headlines.

Which is a shame, because there's absolutely NOTHING special about that race-baiting skank.

I liked it due to the insight it gives of how we would be dealing with an unknown launch. Let's face facts, chances are things would unfold pretty much like the movie (people would be all over the place and hard to reach).

It is like they went over budget and said screw it we’re done.

Except the premise of an unknown launch of a single IBCM with the sophistication to accurately strike a U.S. from the opposite side of the earth.
I found this movie is a low tier tom Clancy “thriller”. Dawns Early Light was better

The FEMA director character really screamed DEI to me. I don’t know if it was a bad actress or just a bad character. That character really just felt forced.

It was a fascinating concept, but that ending almost made me break my TV with my fists.

Considering the fake as f senerio that was the only viable option. IMO even more so considering the woke targeting package

There would actually have to BE an ending for it to be able to qualify for worst ending of all time!!

I was pissed after watching that movie. All that time watching things from all the different point of view and that ending. Waste of time.

What was woke? A black president? We’ve had one of those lmao. So hilarious how such little things drives yall crazy. Desperately needs to touch grass outside sometime.

The movie was shite because of the terrible structure and ending. Nothing more.

This movie is comparable to patronizing a strip club, blue balls is all you get
