Don't Look Up (2021)
Decent movie, excellent society reflection
If I was rating this movie only by its merits as a movie, I'd say this is 6-7 on my scale. But when you factor in the reflections of the society in which we live, it becomes brilliant. News not telling news and politicians caring more about elections than doing what's best for the people feels really familiar and the Elon Musk-ish character claiming to have answers to everything is really the crown of it all. The latter also makes it pretty clear why we should focus on saving life on earth rather than dreaming up some messed up plan of a future on Mars.
Penn & Teller: Bullshit! (2003)
Objective viewing?
God this is terrible journalism. I can't see the point of discrediting actual issues by mixing them up with spiritual goofs and use eccentric fanatics as front figures for let's say global warming. When you get so many hurricanes in one year that you run out of names, there's something going on. The last show I saw, they tried to wave away the dangers of passive smoking. I'm curious about who's really paying for this show. I get the feeling that there is some hidden lobbyism in this program.
I used to consider Penn & Teller two funny magicians (except for the lousy acting in "Sabrina"). Nowadays I think they are sellouts who's obviously not doing well with the magic business (cause then they wouldn't have to take part of this crap, would they?). I mean, who listens to a magician when it comes to global warming and long term problems with genetic manipulation?
