POOM POOM DOOMI can't get over how a part of this movie is what it criticizes just off the strength of the cast. Even when it points it out with the Chris Evans cameo.
Y’all keep saying this but don’t acknowledge the Ariana song which is celebrities begging you to be aware

WisdomThis is the End (movie) took a s*** and the fungus that grew off of it was this movie.
This Is The End was a way better “death to everyone” movie. Cleaver, hilarious, and dramatic.
Comparing this to this is the end means you really didn’t understand the reflection of reality this movie was trying to do

Jan 9, 2022·1 replyRoosterShooteroverrated as shhhhhhhhhhhhhhit.
plot made no sense.
thought that if they kept certain lines going there would be more room to parody real world events in an exaggerated form but idk..just seems like the movie was scared of its own potential.also J law is .....NOT good here. she doesnt sell the character that they were trying to go for...AT ALL.
tim charlamagnes ending prayer was the best part of this movie
There was one main plot. The world is ending and people were too worried bout other s***. How dense do you gotta be

That's kind of what I'm saying though, I get that my "criticism" is basically the equivalent of the "you hate capitalism while still partaking in it" meme, which is to say that it is ultimately not a real criticism at all.
But it's still worth noting that this movie somehow accomplishes being too meta, while also not being meta enough? Even when it points at itself, and I think the Arianna song is a good example of that.
Jan 9, 2022·3 repliesthis movie was insane. I never took Adam McKay as more than just the Will Farrell movie guy, but this put him in the upper tier with Nolan, Scorsese, del Toro, and Bong Joon-ho for me.
The whole movie was hilarious and depressing at the same time. The "we don't allow politics in our home" moment really hit me hard. And for such an over the top silly movie, the ending made me cry even though it was extremely predictable

It’s literally the movie Contagion but a different end of the world scenario. I swear y’all wouldn’t have said all this about celebrity criticism for that.

This movie has more in common with Dr. Strangelove than it does Contagion.

the most ironic thing is a movie criticizing purely symbolic opposition of climate change, capitalist/consumerist culture, and celebrity worship while somehow being all of these things itself
This makes no sense
wym
its a movie criticising celebrity worship, then using kid cudi and ariana grande to boost numbers
its a movie criticizing consumer culture, yet it's been produced for the purpose of increasing/maintaining the Netflix userbase.
its a movie criticizing purely symbolic gestures against crises, but it itself is purely symbolic. its just a movie, it won't change anything.
I don't think thats a crazy claim to make or particularly hard to understand either

So what if paramount put this out instead?
you’re literally looking for s*** to complain aboutit itself is purely symbolic
Bruh, an inconvenient truth is over 15 years old. This is still fiction despite being impressionistic. Stop complaining that fiction isn’t doing with nonfiction does when nonfiction is available.

what?
dude ur missing my point lol relax
all im saying is the movie makes a point of criticizing capitalism, but it's fully a part of the capitalist machine
the movie makes a point of saying "making movies about crises is worthless" and is itself a movie about a crisis
doesn't mean u gotta throw the film out the window or whatever, separate the wheat from the chaff and all that. im just offering my 2 cents on the movie

You sometimes have to play by the rules to be heard. Also, anticapitalism doesn't necessarily mean you despise everything capitalism has produced.

not having some sort of unified worldwide response to this in the movie was imo a missed opportunity. IRL thats definitely what would have happened.
If you genuinely believe that, then you gotta have zero irl experience. Every reaction in film to the comet isn’t even made up, it’s based on decades long reactions to global warming and recent reactions to Covid.

Jan 10, 2022·1 replyThe most realistic scene was the centrist movie director talking about "don't look up or down".

I love stuff like this but it's also really frustrating because the right people aren't going to see this movie. And if they do they won't see themselves.

“B-but because that was Chris Evans it invalidates the message”
