A recurring motif in children's movies is the apparent "good guy" who winds up being a psychopath who has secretly been acting in concert with the "bad guys." Obama is basically that. A communist Trojan Horse. A snake-oily front man for Satan. No surprise his and Big Mike's movie turned out to be such stupid propagandistic shite. Thanks for suffering through it on our behalf and reporting back to us, because I was curious to see it (in the same way you'd be curious to see a crazy car wreck) but could not bring myself to watch. This just strengthens my resolve to never subscribe to Netflix ever again.

Very welcome to be of service. It is sobering to know such stupid, venal people are in charge of the empire. I don't think they are capable of sustaining it, the only question is, how much damage will they do on the way down.

Exactly. They've done a lot of damage already, and given their levels of stupidity and malice, I'm guessing they'll do quite a bit more, probably as much as they possibly can until they are finally forced from power.

If Biden loses they are going to allow the burning of blue cities. It will be one of the greatest self-inflicted wounds ever, the whole world watching.

Stunning how these elitists have never learned the old adage “never s**t where you eat.”

The blowback when enough of their rank and file supporters finally get it is going to be epic.

The message of especially liberal elite and the woke is, fear, sadness (misery) and anger. A more appropriate and healthy message would be joy, happiness and peace.

As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.

It’s tragic really. We all our susceptible to malign influence, and it takes conscious effort to not be overwhelmed and subsumed by it.

The junk food of the modern infotainment industry not only hurts the already broken minds of the white affluent feminist liberal, it adds revenue to the propaganda war chest of charlatans like the obamas.

Thanks for the humorous review of two hours of woketopian garbage.

You are very welcome. I do wonder what goes on in the liberal white female mind, watching this sort of unreality madness? Does the sight of those deer doing CGI woke male fever dream stuff tweak their primal nature, like there is something very wrong with this picture, too much cognitive dissonance? What am I doing with my life? My good genetic material going to waste?

I've encountered at least one here on Substack who's favorite part would probably be the teeth falling out of white boy's head.

Thanks for saving me from watching this, not that I was in much danger. Your alternative, however, was a delight! As campy B-grade horror flick, I think this works well. The scene of Julia screaming and flailing her arms at the deer was priceless!

Some good analysis! But the truth is that Julia Roberts is a tranny, with her character aptly named "A Man, Duh," and all celebrities and politicians are part of the death-cult. They are programmed by highly trained handlers to play specific roles that seem almost normal . . . until you play Toto and pull back the curtain.

So I'm really glad you did this critique, because it shows that the sheer hubris of these Luciferian exotic-technology-worshiping anti-life "people" is coming into the real light. They are drunk on their false-white-light "awesomeness."

We can see that as well with the insane bullshit of "Disease X." It's unfathomably hilarious, but we still need to remain hyper vigilant. They will do anything to remain in power.

Seems like a typical Julia Roberts movie to me.

I know she loves Dr Anthony Fauci with a schoolgirl-like crush, so I suppose I should not be surprised.

I've only peeked in at some Julia Roberts movies -- while the wife watches. There was one where she played an art teacher at a private women's school which pretty much attacked everything traditional in a heavy handed way. She "enlightened" her students by getting them to stare at a Jackson Pollock painting for an hour. It was like a scene from "That Hideous Strength."

And when she smiled, it was like an emotion, it was more like the Death Star preparing to blast a planet

That does sound hideous, even if I appreciate Pollock, at least a lot more than Roberts. Having not watched much film of any kind in years, I suppose my feeling about these actors still lingered from the 90's, when I still believed in their basic humanity.

Anyway, I don't give a shit about actors, I expect most of them are empty. It is the writers here who are the primary target of my ire, along with the Obamas and their galaxy of racist marionettes.

Perfectly stated review. My wife and I watched the movie and I remarked that the Obamas must loathe Musk, given how his cars were used for attempted murder. Another quibble though, why did none of the Teslas burst into unquenchable flames? I imagine smashing multiples into one another would result in at least one battery fire. Guess the budget didn’t permit it...

Thank you.

Half the film was CGI so I figure it wouldn't have cost too much. But maybe a battery fire was too much reality for them, since they seem allergic to it?

Everything about this was sheer dreck. If you had the slightest curiosity about how elites feel about us “ useless eaters”, you’ll learn everything you need to know by watching this. Every white personal is stupid. Or paranoid. Or closeted racist. Or greedy. Or untrustworthy. And they tell you that straight to your face.

Every leftist trope is used en masse. What does an EMF attack have to do with a huge culling of deer? Nothing but we MUST get the climate change fear porn in there somewhere.

Also apparently white middle aged women dance like fucking morons.

Good times. Good times.

Sounds really dumb. Wasn’t going to watch it and this review will make that decision final. I agree with your assertion, these people don’t understand how anything works and aren’t capable of taking care of themselves. They believe their anxiety about this should be your problem.

Public substack had a good piece on projection today. Everything the elite and much of the left do is increasingly false, a lie and authoritarian, and then they claim the likes of calm, grounded, reasonable not-aggressive you and me etc rolling our eyes at them are the threat.

Interesting to consider just how and when we decide to suspend our acceptance of reality for the purposes of entertainment, aka fiction. I don't recall the real number, but somewhere I read there are only 5 or 12 or X real plot lines that are available for literature or history to portray. I suppose humans are complicated, but not that complicated.

When we see a science fiction story, say using rockets for interplanetary travel and wormholes for galactic or intergalactic travel, we suspend judgement since we don't know such things are absolutely impossible. Move over to cartoons where the laws of physics and medicine are violated all the time and we accept that because doing so is part of the "fun" (Wiley coyote runs over the cliff edge, hangs in space for a time, and then plumets to a death defying end; etc.).

And we most revere those actresses and actors who can manage to get into their characters deeply enough that we forget they are also these name brand stars. These are the people that we acknowledge as being the superior actors. The better the ability to hide their real identity, the better the actor. [Did the credits identify who was in the lead malevolent male deer suit? :-) ]

When we can use it, ridicule is our best weapon against the "superior elite syndrome". Then again, sometimes a stereotype serves a useful purpose, encapsulating complications with which we would rather not have to deal.

Films and books run into trouble when they demand we accept a reality that is fundamentally contrary to reality. That was a continuous factor in this film, very little about it reflected actual reality, while claiming to be reality. That and the undercurrent of anti-nativist, reverse racism.

Biden probably needs help, at least. Probably a walker, by Nov. The drugs are not having the desired effect. Methinks they can't run M Obama 'cause the T thing has legs, lol.

re: phantom fears. I recently had a HEATED back and forth with a prominent femblack substacker "power couple" and left them with "you and Sancho are professional windmill tilters. Hopefully, you had a little Cervantes in your indoctr...er education."

Nice. I always try to remember when I get into it with such people, I'm not trying to change their mind, I'm speaking to those who read this convo and do not comment.

I watched the first clip out of curiosity, with the ship going onto the beach. It just looked so fake, and the acting was terrible. I feel sorry for your brain that you watched the whole thing ;).

I was reminded of a book trilogy by S.M. Stirling; the first book is called "Dies the Fire". The premise is that there is a sudden "change" is the laws of physics which make electricity and internal combustion engines no longer work...so planes literally do fall out of the sky. Anyway, the focus is on what happens after that. I thought it was quite entertaining and an interesting thought expirement.

That is the thing, as a thought experiment, such concepts can be very engaging. This film is more like trying to change people's consciousness with a hammer.
