Movie review: "Don't Look Up"


Don't Look Up" is a flawed but useful movie that comprehensively and necessarily satirizes Stupid America. 

Cons 

I'd say 4 out of 5 jokes, especially in the first half of the movie, missed their mark. The key to good satiric humor is subtlety, yet McKay chooses to bludgeon us over the head with a comedic club: from a cowboy being sworn in as Supreme Court justice, to a presidential sex scandal Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Ken Ilgunas  (?)

“Perhaps there’s no better act of simplification than climbing a mountain. For an afternoon, a day, or a week, it’s a way of reducing a complicated life into a simple goal. All you have to do is take one step at a time, place one foot in front of the other, and refuse to turn back until you’ve given everything you have.”
Ken Ilgunas, Walden on Wheels: On The Open Road from Debt to Freedom

“It was strange how it was always the poor who picked us up [hitchhiking]...They dwelled beneath poverty lines and were undereducated, but they were...more civilized than the finely bred..for there is no demographic that has a sharper instinct for empathy than the downtrodden.”
Ken Ilgunas

“We need so little to be happy. Happiness does not come from things. Happiness comes from living a full and exciting life.”
Ken Ilgunas, Walden on Wheels: On the Open Road from Debt to Freedom
