Uhhh let me be clear, it sucked ass. If you ever thought “Man I’d love to see an extra libbed up version of a Jordan Peele movie” then this one is for you.

I thought the movie was meh before I learned it was produced by the Obamnas. After learning that it is pretty infurating. Geez if only someone with a lot of power and influence could have done something to prevent the end of the world. Aw shucks.

Anyway fuck Obama. The movie is called “Leave the World Behind” for the record.

    oh thanks, I’ll avoid it. actually I was probably gonna skip it anyway because it’s 2½ hours, and why would a home invasion thriller possibly need to be that long?

    It reads as parody so much that I was actually kind of enjoying it. I mean the scene with the Teslas crashing, Havana Syndrome, “Death to America, I remember it from the videogame”, the 13 year old girl quoting West Wing, all the nonsense pontificating about random bullshit like Friends, the camera zooming and twisting for no discernible reason, I thought I was picking up on some deep contempt for lib neurosis and vapidness and it got a laugh out of me a couple of times. Pausing it to check out who made it was a mistake, soured the rest of the thing. It might have been ruined by the runtime anyway so no big loss.

    A fever dream fantasy of America collapsing was great fun to watch.

    Seeing ‘rational’ liberals posit that a kid’s teeth falling out is because of Havana Syndrome and then treating it with antibiotics was 😘🤏
