well most people here seem to hate Don't Look Up, which I enjoyed lol. I guess it was kind of lib with its poking fun at Trump and MAGA hogs, and the writing was cringe at times, but it at least went as far as showing that rich psychos teaming up with status quo politicians is one of the biggest hurdles towards societal progress we face, which is a lot better than most movies coming out of :amerikkka:.
One other smaller thing I liked about it: outside of leftist circles, nobody ever talks about how "the elites want us to be divided, man! we gotta team up bro" rhetoric is never a sincere attempt at unifying the proletariat and is pretty much always a coded way of saying "if you're politically on the fence, you better side with us libertarians, otherwise you're one of those overly-woke sensitive snowflake purple hair SJWs" which, with the way Americans are conditioned, would pressure most to simply fall in line with the reactionaries (to be clear I don't have a problem with people who could be described as SJWs).
my chud cousins talk about how the elites want to keep us divided, but when they say elite they mean an imaginary trans professor living in San Fransisco who teaches media studies and when they say us they mean to say everyone on the fence should unite with white small business owners who own large trucks
How much of the movie is full of attempts at being witty/cool? The trailer makes it look like that's 90% of the film, which is what made me bored during the Big Short. But if they tone that down then I will give it a go.
imma be honest, it's like 70% of the film. they make the jennifer lawrence character an alt girl who likes smoking big doinks and listening to 90s style hip hop(?) though they kind drop it halfway through, but bring it back again towards the end, but in a more "punk rawk" way.
Ahh that's probably gonna be something I'll find annoying. But I am alone with time off and covid cases are going up so I'll probably end up watching it anyway.
Yeah those were probably the biggest things I found annoying. I didn't watch Vice though, because both the premise seems lib and I was expecting more of those smirky asides.

throwback to that redditor who said they consider members of the local school board as ruling class and elon musk as working class
I legitimately had to lie down for two hours after watching that movie because of how much climate rage it stirred up in me.

It's definitely less than half a Sorkin.
It doesn't really have the smirky asides that the director used in The Big Short and Vice, if that's what you mean.
The recurring bit about the snacks was kind of good, honestly.
That bit had Iannucci vibes, I'm sure Veep had a big influence there
