    My only objection to Don't Look Up is the rednecks realized they'd been had at the end. In reality, they never will. They will all go to their deaths incapable of recognizing they have been victims of the most obviously transparent con.

      I love it.


      *edit* What a great film. It nailed it, and of course the "media" is gonna hate the accurate thrashing they took in it.

      I almost missed Chris Evans cameo. Brilliant sendup of Amageddon-esque films.

      Also, Jonah Hill's post credit scene was *chefs kiss*.
      I agree with all of this. I loved the movie but it spun me into a depression for a week, I think because it showed exactly how Americans would react. Ignorant, willfully ignorant masses more concern d with hell’s kitchen season 146 and what underwear a singer is wearing vs reading actual books. It was devastating.

      A+ to DeCaprio and Lawrence.

      I still despise Jonah Hill who I just have never found funny in anything.

        Really? I'm just the opposite, I've liked him always. He's just been in some horrifying movies (Knocked Up, This Is the End).

          I’m just generally not a fan of the movies he’s done and I’ve never laughed at his jokes.

          having said that, he may blow me away as Jerry Garcia next year in Scorsese’s new film. Who knows… I used to not like Jim Carrey, The Truman Show changed my mind.

            Have you seen Man in the Moon? I hate Carrey but that was Oscar-nomination worthy.

            I thought Hill was excellent in Don't Look Up because his character is so hideous, so he can really lean into the annoyingness of his presence. The guy is genuinely intelligent, I think, and he's gotta know part of his Hisness is like biting on tinfoil, it's just ghastly. He's the kind of person you'd trip in the airport for no reason. So that role was perfect.

            The only role where I honestly liked Hill's character was Superbad, but I found everything about that movie to be a love letter to my friends in junior high school.

            • Superbad was excellent for what it was and I thought he was good in War Dogs and Moneyball.

                Except for Buckaroo Banzai and Airplane!, I have never enjoyed a movie more. Pure fun.

                    I'm talking about the experience of seeing a movie for the first time, in a theater. Nobody saw Road House in a theater. It is the quintessential repeat viewing home tv movie. Its only competitor is Die Hard.

                          Oops, yes! I forgot about that one. His portrayal of Kaufman was definitely Oscar worthy imo.

                          Good point on the leaning into the character. Which I’m assuming is supposed to be Eric Trump? Or whomever of orange man’s kids.
