I know this gets brought up a lot, but man, watching it again after everything we went through is wild. The accuracy is just eerie.

It has absolutely everything: the contact tracing, the lockdowns, masks, vaccine lotteries, quarantine, and people dropping dead. It even perfectly captured the internet conspiracy grifters pushing fake cures, and the virus literally originating from a bat.

Movies take years of planning and writing, so whoever mapped this out a decade before COVID happened deserves a lotto win for that "imagination." It’s classified as sci-fi/thriller, but it plays out like a straight-up playbook of reality. Anyone else still get chills rewatching this?

Super entertaining and funny movie with a great story, it’s overlooked and never mentioned, it’s a dark comedy satire about kids shows hosts in New York,

I recommend this if you like R rated comedies like Bad Santa or Thats My Boy, its twisted and much fun

​I finally got around to watching Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up on Netflix, and I honestly don't know whether to laugh or have a full-blown existential crisis. It is a wildly divisive film, but if you look past the chaos, it is an incredibly sharp mirror held up to our modern world.

​The premise is straightforward: two low-level astronomers (played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence) discover a massive comet that is on a direct collision course with Earth. They have exactly six months to warn humanity.

​What follows isn't a traditional, heroic sci-fi movie where scientists and politicians unite to save the day. Instead, it’s a brilliant, dark comedy about what happens when the apocalypse has to compete for clicks, algorithmic engagement, and political polling numbers.

​Here is why you should watch it, completely spoiler-free:

​The Terrifyingly Real Satire: The movie doesn't target just one group; it eviscerates everyone. It looks at a 24-hour news cycle that treats world-ending news with the same weight as a celebrity breakup, politicians who only care about the upcoming midterms, and tech billionaires who see a global catastrophe as a financial opportunity. It is hilarious, but it's the kind of humor that makes you winced because it feels way too real.

​An Absolute Powerhouse Cast: The lineup is ridiculous—DiCaprio, Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Cate Blanchett, and Timothée Chalamet. DiCaprio is phenomenal as an anxious, stressed-out academic thrust into the media spotlight, and Jonah Hill steals every single scene he’s in as a smug, deeply punchable Chief of Staff.

​The Emotional Core: Beneath the loud, fast-paced comedy, there is a deeply moving undertone of grief and frustration. It perfectly captures that specific feeling of shouting a blatant truth at the top of your lungs while the rest of the room is looking at their phones.

​It is loud, it is anxious, and it is intentionally frustrating—which is exactly the point. It doesn't need a massive twist to hook you; the tension comes entirely from watching human nature collide with a cosmic clock.

​If you haven't seen it yet, go in expecting a sharp political and social satire rather than a standard disaster flick.

​To those who have watched it: Did it make you laugh, or did it just leave you deeply stressed out?

Watched this movie accidentally few years ago (I casually turn on tv and this movie was running) and till today, this is my fav movie ever.
movie was released in 2012, and I think I have been on internet somewhere around that time, so in span of 10-11 years not even once i have seen anyone on social media ever references the movie in any way, shape or form, its one of those movies that you have to scroll down for half an hour to find, cast are relatively unknown too (with few exceptions), story itself is so surreal, almost like fever dream...

Not a movie, but a show. Its on Netflix, two twelve episode seasons. It has themes such as Uploaded Intelligence, (UI) what it means to be human, everything at once, nothingness, war, ect ect. It has diversity in race and character, and the ending is criminally underrated. Everything about it is. Probably the most mind boggling show I've ever watched and I'm baffled it is yet to have any recognition or rewards. Its still kinda underground, maybe a couple thousand global fans.

Something insane about the show is that they take what the widespread of UI would eventually lead to in the real world. It fits multiple stories together perfectly. It's managed to make you think you know where it's leading, then it zooms out 100x more. Each reveal is one layer of a larger picture, it's such a good show.

I'd definitely recommend giving it a watch or twelve. 🙌🙌🙌

This comedy movie starts with the camera aimed too low and a rough sounding narrator and then it goes to dark and empty but pretty places like a city and a beach and a supermarket. The scene where they dump the dude's head in a toilet was funny but cruel. The intruder in the dude's house seemed confused before they left. Then it goes to a well made scene with slow motion bowling and it has a nice uplifting song called What a wonderful feeling. But the dude is too obsessed with the guy that peed on his rug. It is a stupid part of the plot for the different characters with the last name Lebowski to be mixed up because other than name there was no similarities. One was a young potty mouthed man w a beard in his thirties or forties  who is unemployed and lazy and lives in a cheap home and his main hobby is bowling with his friends and drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana. The other  Lebowski was an older disabled millionaire in his sixties or seventies who works and has a young blonde wife named Bunny who's prob in her mid twenties who likes to be in a bikini near the pool. 

The scene were the dude's friend Walter pulls out a gun and threatens an older guy was unnecessary but I like how the dude criticized it and when in the car he told him to take it easy. 
Then the same absurd criminals who peed on his rug kidnap the Lebowski''s wife and leave a weird note. Then at the bowling alley the camera stares at the characters staring at some guy who is supposedly a sex offender while the camera blurs everything else in the background.  

In my opinion it’s offensive they named the offender Jesus. Then criminals go in his house and punch the dude in the face which makes him see crazy things and the camera focuses on rapid shots on absurd things like a bowling ball running em over and seeing only what can be seen thru the hole of the ball on the other side like the alley.

It seems this movie likes to use a technique during the characters conversations that stare at the important details and blur the stuff that isn’t relevant to the plot. I like the camera angles and the lighting of the movie but the plot is illogical. There was some good tension when they were driving and because of bad driving a crash happened and stuff flew out of the car including a gun that kept firing which is ridiculous. The scene where Walter and Dude and Donny walk through the alley until they get to the parking lot and find a car missing filming them walk from the front was a creative idea. The walls were poorly decorated during a scene of good tension where the dude was walking and the camera between him and what's in front of him and then he gets scared by a seductive lady who was above him on a zip line in the ceiling. Then this lady Maude turned on a television screen of a scene from a naughty movie that the directors put in the movie to establish the careers of Bunny and the nihilist man. 

The part with the severed toe was a shocking and creative idea. I liked the scene where the three criminals broke into the dude's house and put a ferret in his bathtub and how his body moved in the tub was astonishing. The car smashing scene was anxious because of how the characters were having a showdown and yelling at each other.

The scene where the dude was on bottom looking at an unbelievably big case of shoes that were much taller than him felt like art. The scene shot to be dark in a black filter w 3 guys in red running with scissors to scare the dude was well made along with the sound it used to build comedic tension.

The end parking lot brawl was a pretty good scene that me laugh and how absurd the nihilists are.

The Big Lebowski is a  textbook example of an artistic movie with stunningly beautiful cinematography that keeps you entertained and is occasionally funny and the plot doesn't matter at all to enjoy this movie and I can understood why people like the Big Lebowski

This is why it is an underrated master of art and photography.
