    Don’t look up was that movie for me. Almost everyone praised it to high heavens, with me smirking at maybe 2 lines / scenes throughout that entire slog.

    Each to his own, I guess…

      Nah, me too. Felt like the whole movie it was looking over at the audience like “Ehhh, Ehhh? You get it?”

        Yeah, it was just way too much “in your face”. Ppl said it was a great, thought-provoking parody, all I saw was a tryhard attempt at forcing through a rather bad attempt at that

      I enjoyed Don’t Look Up for the comedic pacing mostly. Where every time you seem to get a feel for the mood and direction it has something subversive to throw you off. Definitely could’ve been less on the nose with the allegory but some people just need some things shouted into their face for a chance at getting it

      I get it, I liked it but it was kind of up it’s own ass, but that recurring gag about the general asking for money for free snacks was great. There was one scene toward the end in particular that was all serious then Jennifer Lawrence brought it up that killed me.
