Don't Look Up

🎲

Recent film criticized for its performative self-awareness, fourth-wall breaks, and obnoxiously flashy editing that makes it seem apologetic for being a movie.

"Of "Don't Look Up"'s 75M budget, 55M went solely to DiCaprio and Lawrence's fees. This is why I won't ever feel bad pirating Hollywood products. Worst case scenario, DiCaprio gets paid 28M next time instead of 30M."
"There was Don't Look Up maybe, but that one didn't seem to have lasting cultural relevance: not a single line or joke made its way into popular imagination like the comedy movies of pre-2015 used to."

"Don't Look Up is just this generation's Idiocracy right? Watched it the other night and enjoyed it but I can't help but think we're in for years of it being referenced by people who want to look like the smartest guy in the room because they watched an incredibly popular movie with an extremely simp"

"I think its a good show but its very repetitive and the dialogue is funny but its also very Don't Look Up. It will age badly, every line has to be some reference to something and all the characters speak in the same crude sex obsessed way which is funny if you're a 12 year old boy."

"At the risk of sounding like a massive larper (known big no no in rsp), we need a new Ted (not me though) to start mailing in tree bark letters and blowing up coal plants. I know I'm ranting and sound like the guy from don't look up but this drives me insane."

"A lot of new movies these days have this weird air about them, as if they're trying to be apologetic for being a movie. Performative self-awareness through fourth-wall breaks, references to real-world pop culture and memes, obnoxiously flashy editing and forced epic bacon Rick and Morty type humor.."
A new breed of movie I dislike · u/W_Bussin_Rizz · ↑46 · 2023-02-06
"They don't know shit about subtlety which makes their most "serious" films to be such a fucking drag (Specially Knives Out 1, 2 and all the future sequels and don't look up)"
I hate Rian Johnson · u/ohjackiepantomime · ↑45 · 2022-12-26
"I liked it. Looked it up and apparently Adam McKay is a chapotard."
"I haven't disliked the discussion around a movie this much in a while, especially what the creators are contributing to the discussion. Somehow if you find the movie heavy handed, irritating, and not especially illuminating about our society you are 'part of the problem' or are 'a character in this "

"Totally insufferable but also watchable in a "feels like it was made in a lab" way. that one tech guy's character and performance genuinely unnerved me though."

"Don't Look Up is not a lib circlejerk, it's basically a bunch of Felix jokes rolled up into one movie"
"It felt like Bong Joon Ho took the end credits scene of Don't Look Up and stretched it for over 2 hours."
