Climate propaganda film "Don't Look Up" makes less than $1 mil in box office

[Ralph Wiggum]

Remember this golden oldie from last December?

"Don't Look Up" is the perfect thing to say in response to "Let's Go Brandon"
 
It encapsulates so much of what the easily duped GOPlague believes in 1 simple phrase.

Now, the original post was deleted.  Perhaps noticing its irrelevance.

Onto to the present day, this Leonardo DiCaprio and a cavalcade of woke-tard idiots flick was nominated for four Oscar awards, including best picture.  Yet this dreck has earned less than a million dollars in box office revenue:

Don’t Look Up

Another TV movie (Netflix) that earned a measly $784,681 at the worldwide box office.

Normal people don't like to waste their money to get lectured to by pompass leftists

Wow.  I'm guessing the reviews didn't contain many 'spoiler alerts'.  It's not worth the red ink.

I highly approve of Hollyweird moneypits. They hoover up $$ that would do greater damage in other uses.

Personally, I watched the movie and thought it was great if you look at it as a satire of the current state of the mainstream media and the political view of never letting a good crisis go to waste. Set aside the climate change allegory aspects of the movie and think of it as casting light on CNN, MSNBC, and the Biden administration.

Ozark is a better series to watch on Netflix.

Interesting.  Have no plans to see it as I don't have Netfilx, but I'll just stick with "Idiocracy" as an allegory toward our future.

It's absolutely all about perspective.
I did see the attempted messaging of course, but I also saw a lot of exposed hypocrisy in it as well.

Stupidity and heavy-handedness in "message movies" has been a Hollyweird tradition for at least 5 decades.

The first one I am old enough to recall was "The China Syndrome", which came out as an anti-nuclear power movie in the late 70's.  Actually a good movie but pretty much left-wing tripe.

Big fan of soylent green of the same Era. Dunno if it's really pushing a narrative much

Early message movies were less ham-handed, though the implausibility of the anti-nuclear "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is pretty obvious. "Soylent Green" was dystopia Enviro-style - due to pollution and over-population (The Population Bomb) people were being "recycled" to feed the living.

"Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" was a great political commentary on the cold war and showed how satire can really make a statement when used properly. The movie Mash was more satire and used to make a statement on the Vietnam war using the Korean war as a backdrop.

Those were message movies (also "The Mouse that Roared"), but at least they were decent stories, and for at least 2 of the 3, quite funny (I didn't see "MASH", but if it was like the book, it also was somewhat humorous and let viewers  draw their own conclusions).
