It's a biopic starring Meryl Streep, not a documentary.

There should be a dark, depressing documentary about this topic, though.

Vice is shallow, incoherent, and maddeningly glib; the topic (and the deceased) deserve a better effort if one is to be made at all. To claim that it's somehow representative of competent satire is disingenuous, at best. gently caress that movie and the people who shill for it for no other reason than to gain internet prestige.

Didn’t you say earlier that you didn’t even watch Vice? Or was I misunderstanding and you said you wouldn’t watch Bombshell because Vice turned you off to it?

The trailer starts with Kat McKinnon's character just straight up saying that part of working at Fox News is demonizing minorities. Like maybe the film will suck, but the trailer literally tells you right off the bat that everyone there is ethically compromised.

It's just so devoid of anything interesting. I don't know why they bothered pulling up short and don't just have little intermissions every fifteen minutes where the characters stare right into the camera and read off a litany of their sins. Show that their morning standup meeting is just a competition for who can tell the most racist joke. It's purely masturbatory for the Fox-hating audience.

It's like Ready Player One, except instead of constant nostalgia, it's constant reinforcing of how THESE WOMEN SURE IS EVIL! Somehow more pathetic and pointless.
