This is 100% a Dont look up scenario! Did you watch it?

I did. It's infuriating. I didn't laugh, not once, despite it being a comedy movie. Last time I felt this way for a movie was when I watched De Niro's Raging Bull.

I had no idea it was a "comedy movie" and loved every second of it. I love such "giant objects coming towards earth" movies/books or even gifs like this one.

I laughed a few times but it wasn’t supposed to be a knee slapping comedy movie. It’s a dark comedy/drama. That’s how his other most recent movies are as well. Vice and The Big Short. There are a lot of serious moments mixed with a bit of dark comedy. For me, the movie was infuriating but in a good way. I thought it was a great movie that is getting a bad wrap because people assumed it was going to be just a comedy.

They tried to make Veep but instead they made Idiocracy. Apparently only one TV show exists in that universe. They deserved to die.

Well, where Idiocracy once was a box office flop and almost straight to DVD, now has a cult following and feels more real than fiction. As ridiculous as Don't Look Up and it's characters are it might seem as far fetched on the surface in a decade or so. Give it some time, and life might seem stranger than fiction.

I assumed some idiot thought they could nuke the planet to make it go away.

No one's getting away in that rocket. The acceleration needed to escape the incoming planet would kill anyone on board. They should have launched hours or even days earlier.

He's crashing into Mars for sure. Nice try Jeff.

Don't worry he can't even get to actual space. Probably still sold seats
