This “Enlightened” New World utopia isn’t turning out to be all it was cracked up to be. Society is disenchanting, but are the only alternatives hiding out in the hills or burying yourself in books? With an air of levity and a touch of humor, John Heers teaches how to examine the confusing New World by calling upon the mind and wisdom of oft-forgotten Old. Heavy Things, Lightly.

Damien Walter of the Science Fiction Podcast has a very different Baudrillardian take on Civil War that's worth a watch.

[@Liv1ngTehDream]

In fairness there's a weak element of something like a more general commentary in the film. Not sure what bias led him into believing the situation is much different outside America.

[@YooToo69]

BLA is a great guy.

[@ignatiusgreen]

So we’re saying that Leo DiCaprio hasn’t done a funny role? How about Django Unchained? How about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood? How about Don’t Look Up? Or Wolf of Wall Street? Cmon y’all. Dark and twisted comedy, perhaps, but that sh#t is funny.

[@joshw3010]

I scored a 10 on the test, and I do love my garage gym. 😂

[@oscaralejandrosandoval2680]

Sing Sing was a worthwhile film.

[@ignatiusgreen]

The speculation that Alex Garland must have had to make huge concessions to the script of Civil War is incorrect at least based on his own telling of how the film came about during the Q&A at the SXSW premiere. He said he gave the script to A24 and it was the quickest greenlight he’d ever gotten and they had no changes.

37:59 they cry out as they strike you. Oy vey!

[@Wraithninja1]

When are we gonna hear you give the light-o-meter to an old world person? I think it would be great to hear the thoughts behind an authentic old world response

Christ is Risen! 🇬🇪

First!

I haven't been to the movie theater in 7 years and films fell off way before then when they turned into video games. Tron Legacy, The Hobbit, Star Trek - all garbage!
