i think im just spoiled in that there are shows like trueanon/tafs/TWSU/RWN/TMK/blowback/ghost stories/ or even fuckin' bein ian that are just absolute constant bangers and don't do weird stupid poo poo and then you got this one podcast that typically good stuff but then just enough entirely fail AIDs goony sex fanfic episodes that make me question the entire series i guess chapo had that god awful zayguana fanfic or w/e episode that was horrible but that those are least 3 standard deviations away to not be entirely negative, i did like their recent cambridge analytica episode

It just seems like weirdly strict adherence to judging every aspect of the movie solely from a comedy perspective because it's the Netflix category the movie is filed under. It apparently cannot be viewed, considered, or appreciated as anything other than whether I'm falling out of my chair laughing in which case I'd have no choice but to agree- it was far more serious than that- but done very well overall. It sounds like a failure/refusal to understand the meaning or sentiment of the film beyond yuks tbh

The algorithm being an oracle of Delphi metaphore was fun. I laughed when dude went up to the president and said "You will be eaten by a snorfblat" and at the end of the movie she was Which is a good joke that hampers the idea the movie was making about how algorithm astrology is just smoke, mirrors, and more data on a human than possibly imaginable. So I get your complaint. It's just, I can't imagine the movie being even more dry than it already wasm

i enjoyed it but the satire felt pretty toothless when it basically concluded with "half the country wants to ignore the comet and half the country wants to stop it, so nothing gets done" how do you do those painfully accurate scenes about the media and ignore the fact that the only politically viable alternative to "let it destroy earth" right now is "make a nonbinding pledge to reduce the mass of the comet by 40% over 30 years"? most of the people choosing to Look Up might like to try and blow up the comet with a rocket, but maybe a little one that doesnt increase the deficit too much and only if the effort to build it doesnt negatively impact the economy a serious satire would have ended with the Just Look Up Party winning in a landslide, accomplishing every single promise that they campaigned on, blowing up half the comet, diverting to rest to the Indian Ocean, and then there is a 10 minute splitscreen montage of everyone in america cheering and clapping and popping champagne juxtaposed with Day After Tomorrow catastrophes obliterating Yemen, Bangladesh, and the Philippines

Fellatio del Toro posted:i enjoyed it but the satire felt pretty toothless when it basically concluded with "half the country wants to ignore the comet and half the country wants to stop it, so nothing gets done" Like that’s the whole point of the stupid “just look up” campaign, to satirize that in fact no, even the “stop the asteroid” half of the country isn’t even talking about stopping the asteroid but instead *awareness* that the asteroid is in fact coming. It wasn’t the best movie by any stretch, but for a movie with a message it did a pretty good job balancing between delivering the message and being something people would want to watch. No one would want to watch a realistic movie about climate change, and a funnier asteroid movie would quickly stop being a strong metaphor for climate change.
