Don't look up cackle cackle

Netflix offers new movies: I thought the star studded Don't Look Up would be good, but instead of a movie about good people trying to save the earth and the people on the earth in a time of crisis, it's mainly a satire on the media and social media in the USA...

In other words, another "belly button gazing" movie from the narcissists of Hollywood who hate American culture and want to put the USA into a bad light.

The UKGuardian didn't like it so it's not just me.

There are just too many stupid parts of the movie: I mean, could you just try to be a little bit realistic in your film?

So no one else saw the comet? and instead of emailing it the information, they had to go personally to the president?  and then get intereviewed to try to get the cable news programs to take the threat seriously?

But what really annoyed me is the idea that only the USA was able to try to destroy it? Don't tell China or Russia... 

or Elon Musk. As Behind the Black notes:

The leaders in the 2021 launch race:

49 China
31 SpaceX
22 Russia
6 Europe (Arianespace)
5 ULA
5 Rocket Lab

Well never mind.

at least they got the NASA patch correct, even if Space. com notes the satire is about people not believing in science of covid or global warming and how these crises are trivialized.

In fact, the same patch not only appears in the movie, but it is highlighted on screen to emphasize that it is indeed real — one of only a few real-life details that are not stretched to the point of (hopeful) ridiculousness to serve the film's tone and multi-level message.

Actually I gave up watching half way through after the self centered clueless blond president with a cackling laugh interviewed them. Meryl Streep should be ashamed. Usually blond presidents are Hillary Clinton clones, but Hillary would have been more pragmatic and is able to take things seriously (sometimes too seriously).  

Which made me wonder: Maybe the president isn't supposed to be Hillary: So what other clueless self centered female politician with a cackling laugh who might become president in the near future did they have in mind when they wrote this character? 

Presumably the world ended but the important story was about the ratings war. 

But in a globalized world, it seems to be a script written by and for the US Media elites who are embedded into the matrix bubble of fantasy, where the rest of the world doesn't exist or doesn't matter

So goodbye Bruce Willis and hello nihilism.

Ironically, China has it's own movie about this, and guess who saves the day?
