Netflix now streams Don't Look Up: Brace yourself for impact!


Wazzup Pilipinas!?


Netflix can have an early present on Christmas Eve... as a treat. Adam McKay’s #DontLookUp is now available to stream on Netflix.

Writer-director, and Oscar winner, Adam McKay made the best 'look in the mirror' mockery of Trumpublicans and the anti-science, anti-truth, ratings-driven shit show of our politics today in his new comedy sci-fi.

This riotous satire that follows a team of scientists as they stare down the end of the world. It's a fine metaphor for the general public's COVID-19 denial and apathy to mass death.

NASA and other world space agencies have been studying this possibility and the forecast for near-earth celestial objects for years. Their efforts helped inform the new film 'Don't Look Up!' The Netflix feature film features the real NASA Planetary Defense Coordination Office's emblem.



"Honestly I’m still in shock we got these megastars to do this. I started realizing people wanted to do something that reflected what we were all living through. You could feel it. They wanted to laugh."

The star-studded cast includes Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio, Rob Morgan, Jonah Hill, Mark Rylance, Timothée Chalamet, Scott Mescudi, Cate Blanchett, Chris Evans, Ariana Grande and Meryl Streep.

I’m 10 minutes into Don’t Look Up and OMG …….. LOL! It's definitely a realistic representation of the government so far. The scary thing about "Don't Look Up" is that I'd have even less faith in our real governments to save us from a cataclysmic comet than the dopes in the Orlean Administration...





The wildly varying reactions to Don’t Look Up are just a function of:

A. How ridiculous & terrifying do you think the world is right now?

Divided by

B. How ridiculous & terrifying the world ACTUALLY is right now.

Don’t Look Up is a parable about the climate crisis, a mirror held up to the modern moment. The movie is a necessary look in the mirror, though I wonder how many people will actually see what it’s showing us.

We need to look around, the end of 2021, another hottest year on record–the climate crisis is already here. Really: what are we waiting for?

"We are left with a prescient warning: about the hubris of billionaires, the corruption of politicians, a myopic American culture that gives rise to both & a nation woefully unprepared to lead the world in the face of any existential risk."


 
The black comedy makes for quite enjoyable viewing because it balances with reality. Reflects what our world has become,was fun from beginning till the end.It's not over the top at all, sadly. Its absurd humor but it is also very very true. All living things are doomed and noone cares. Well done. Humor is all we have left. Would definitely recommend.
