Comment: Hollywood has always been a bastion of narcissism, greed and utter shallowness for the most part - but given its marked decent towards identity politics and pathological values over the last few years - the dream factory has recently been churning out incredible amounts of pure s*** at a level even we're surprised by.

codis I've been watching for some months now too and just saw this one recently. I don't remember if it's in this one but I think it's funny when he does "The Message!" with the pic of the woke scrawlboard. The Critical Drinker does a lot of thoughtful and humorous reviews and I like his overall perspective and tend to agree with what he says.

I enjoyed most of his reviews, and found our taste in movies has some overlap ...
... but I think it's funny when he does "The Message!" with the pic of the woke scrawlboard. ...As other, similar stuff in his videos, it is his way to circumvent censorship. You just can't say some (a lot of) thing on YT without getting cancelled. Or demonetized.

I watched a Russian super- hero movie called "Attraction 2" last week. It was made in 2020, and had the same superficial character development of the leads as Western superhero movies.
However, the movie is rich in character development, and some of the supporting actors are incredible.
Basically the movie is about propaganda, specifically machine algorithms via alien tech, that take over the communication infrastructure of Moscow and control what people think, and how they react.
For instance a Russian Spec. Op. is presumably talking to his wife, seeing if she's OK, but it's really a machine algorithm simulating her voice.
The hero is some kind of Westernized alien in love with the heroine who symbolizes Russia.
The hero wishes to leave alien spaceforce and be with heroine.
The AI threatens to destroy Earth if hero doesn't come back.
At one point all of Moscow is under water and emotionally confused.
A Russian general uses good ol' cold War tech to circumvent the AI. and the Hero sacrifices himself self on a one way mission to destroy the Alien satellite tech.
He does.

Nathan Carney Interestingly written synopsis. Based on some very deeply philosophically vague plot similarities that my mind has made complex comparisons to I am reminded of the movie Independence Day.
Yes and no,
It's Russian.
The humor is darker, deeper, and more understated, thus more enjoyable.
It's notable that the film seeds the public, and in retrospect prepares the public for media blitz.
Super-hero movies are so action driven, a Keanu Reeves, pull back personality type works best to counter-balance the moments when character development is needed or the film may suffer (the need).
Westernized personality archetypes just don't cut it.
Otherwise it lacks maturity, or ...smash two cars together, make big crash, on fantasy island.

Nathan Carney meant Westernized personality types playing Super-hero archetypes doesn't cut it.
Nathan Carney I agree, most often superhero movies provide shallow representations of honorable heroic archetypes garnished in glib glitz and glamour. The masses are fascinated, not knowing they are slaves to farcical fascists hypnonitacally and hypnopaedically manipulating their imagination and belief systema while implanting artificial figments and reducing their attention spans resulting in awestruck memory loss and a general senseless compulsion to adhere to the movie's subliminal message.
I think I understand your perspective and share it.
Don't mind my maybe out of character sounding verbosity lol. I sound something like Ned I guess. I hope. He rocks. Beer, weed+tobacco, and shrooms will do that to me.
Lyrica.. not today. Only had that once in a rare blue moon. I hear it causes nightmares in a lot of people over time from guys in jail who took it and knew other people who did.

Nathan Carney I'm ill prepared for the the apocalypse but have some supplies for me and unfortunately necessarily for my immediate family potentially resulting in my starvation because they won't take me seriously, those I want to keep alive the most. I just visited with my mom and brother (he brought the pinch of magic) yesterday. It's 1:51 where I am. Rum lol. Zigzags and tumbleweed. Just revised, 1:54 Colt ammo stock up

Solutions will present themselves if you keep the faith.
I think I know where you are coming from and it may seem cold on your part but it is not--respect.
I sometimes ask, why is it some open their hearts and yet I struggle to?
Yet whether loyalty is of a sentimental or emotional nature, it is still given, and forever
You see I'm like that;
And for those I care about it, or at least have some understanding of, it is fierce, because after all, it is the right, even only, way to live.

So you nailed really, decisions have to be made about family,
And lol it is a decision each must make on own.
So yes, I would love it if my bio-bro embraces me as family, but he doesn't, and it's his decision.
Don't call me Ishmael, call me desperate, yet my true family is also not desperate
and is essence of humanity.

I just have a phone. I'd have to look up and copy accents.
Back to music. Cheers buddy. You just provided me with much amusement.
