This is the bleakest movie of McKay's foray into his more sober, activist movie-making (The Big Short, Vice). I laughed at several points, some of it good cackling, and the movie is dark to its bitter end. It's about choosing ignorance and greed, about deferring to our worst instincts, and those in power who profit from inaction. It's fit as a climate change allegory but COVID-19 or any scientific crisis could be applied as well. This movie is animated with seething rage about the state of the world and the cowardice about facing obvious problems head-on. It makes a person want to stand up and scream about priorities, and that's McKay's point, one that will be bludgeoned again and again.
SPLIT MOVIE TORRENT REDDIT TV
Not the media where morning TV co-hosts (Cate Blanchett, Tyler Perry) are more compelled by music star breakups than pressing science. Not the greedy CEO (Mark Rylance) of a tech company.
Not the president (Meryl Streep) and her inept chief of staff/son (Jonah Hill). Jennifer Lawrence plays a doctoral student who discovers a comet heading for direct cataclysmic impact with Earth, and she and her astronomy mentor (Leonardo DiCaprio) are trying to sound the alarm but nobody seems to be listening. With only six months until the comet makes impact, managing the 24-hour news cycle and gaining the attention of the social media obsessed public before it's too late proves shockingly comical - what will it take to get the world to just look up?!Ī scorched Earth satire that flirts with a literal scorched Earth, Don't Look Up is writer/director Adam McKay's star-studded condemnation of everything stupid and myopic in media, politics, and pop culture.
Oglethorpe (Rob Morgan), Kate and Randall embark on a media tour that takes them from the office of an indifferent President Orlean (Meryl Streep) and her sycophantic son and Chief of Staff, Jason (Jonah Hill), to the airwaves of The Daily Rip, an upbeat morning show hosted by Brie (Cate Blanchett) and Jack (Tyler Perry). Turns out warning mankind about a planet-killer the size of Mount Everest is an inconvenient fact to navigate. The other problem? No one really seems to care. The problem: it's on a direct collision course with Earth. Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) make an astounding discovery of a comet orbiting within the solar system. These, then, are the biggest, ugliest movie leaks in history – the times when digital piracy ended up sinking budgets, changing scripts, ruining careers and causing international incidents… 1.Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence), an astronomy grad student, and her professor Dr. Hollywood fights back with watermarks, time-stamps and the occasional lawsuit, but leaks do happen – and sometimes they can be devastating. As soon as a film is finished, the net is cast even wider to include PRs, moneymen, hangers-on, journalists and friends of friends – making it pretty surprising that any movie makes it to the cinema without everyone and his dog having already streamed it. Since most movies are now stored and distributed digitally, it's worryingly easy for someone to 'accidentally' press the wrong button and instantly spread a film all over the internet.Ĭopies of next year's blockbusters are already sitting in thousands of hard drives around the world because editors, artists and techies all need a version to work on. If you wanted to steal a film – pre-release – before the early '00s, you had to actually run away with a disc, tape or giant stack of reels. Movie leaks weren't really a problem in the old days.
