I cried at the end of "Terminator 2" at age 12. That was the manliest thing I ever did...until I cried at the end of "Furious 7" at age 22.

For many months, despite my high skepticism of this remake, the only component that kept me remotely intrigued was the involvement of screenwriter Tony Kushner. You don’t hand off this text to a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright and get a complete retread of the original, there’s just no way. I’m thankful to report that Kushner delivered as hoped, imbuing this resplendent restaging with thoughtful additions and surprising revisions all presented by a master of the form operating at a deliriously…

Don’t Look Up is Dr. Strangelove for the mid-Succession, post-Trump era. Its satire is sometimes undercut by some Ferrell-era humor (and its length), but at its best it represents the best blend of McKay’s sensibilities since The Other Guys. As far as the filmmaker’s second act is concerned, I still prefer The Big Short - nothing will compare to the surprise of seeing McKay zag so hard and succeed so gloriously.
Leo, Hill, Chalamet all hilarious.
