Chapo Trap House - Irresistible Movie Review

[@mitchellzemil4890]

All these uploads have been great for me, a guy who never watches movies but wants to know what I should think about them

[@philesq9595]

Me too. I always end up feeling like the gang says what I would think, had I read or seen the source material, and merely provided more factual/historical context to my opinion.

Ikr. Did something similar with Heart of Darkness; decided to just watch Apocalypse Now instead but then realised that all I really needed to see was an overweight Marlon Brandon mumbling "the horror, the horror". You can't tell me that isn't peak pop cultural consumer efficiency.

[@justcommenting4981]

These are for movies you shouldn't think about because they're bad. Besides Joker and Starship Troopers, have they reviewed any good movies? I don't know, this one has that guy from The Office so maybe it's adequate. If only a video reviewed these videos to tell me what to think about them.

Kept getting reminded of Swing Vote while watching this. That shitty political comedy from over a decade ago where Kevin Costner plays some country bumpkin whose vote ultimately decides the presidential election. Just the most painful Obama-era vaguely hopeful nonsense. Really think there's something to the theory that Jon Stewart wrote this while on The Daily Show.

[@WanderingIdiot81]

Swing Vote should have had him vote third party at the very end, leaving everyone scratching their heads on what happens next

[@PurushaDesa]

I think the better version of this film - “Hey small town, the game is rigged!” - is Matt Damon in _Promised Land_ . But I’m sure they’d hate that too. It’s also got the novelty of featuring a pre-CIA asset John Krasinski.

[@redlightmax]

1:58 Jon Stewart directing a movie for Amazon, of all companies, would be a tragedy - but from what I've read, Amazon had nothing to do with making it.

There's going to be a MILLION of these fucking establishment lib political movies accrued over the next ten years. I'm honestly shocked they let Sirota write one.... But I guess climate change activism has been deemed "acceptable" dissent. It's going to need its own Netflix category.

Bullworth has a very silly premise, but many astute points of how corrupt our politics and society had become. The Candidate starring Robert Redford I think is the best political movie that really represented the true nature of a campaign.

[@TheKeyser94]

Timothee Chalamet, the idol of the boomers and the milk toast generation, he really hard try to do meaning full movies, but not willing to actual takes risk, just cheap virtue signalling movies, like Don't Look Up and Dune 2021, that actually have nothing to say and water-down version of previous adaptations, all platitude and cliches, nothing of substance, and that actor is from Generation Z, but the only people that like his movies are over forty.

[@Riley-nq3tc]

The posters for this movie are a indicator that the studio knew they had a piece of shit. They're all the worst kind of bland, cheap crap they have some intern whip up because it's not worth spending real money on. I do agree with the notion that this script was cobbled together from bits and pieces that Stewart had been hanging onto throughout his Daily Show run. Bits or observations he couldn't quite work into the show that never took off his bulletin board. It's too bad because his directorial debut is a fairly decent little piece of work. No great stakes but it definitely seemed like he might develop into a solid filmmaker one day

[@JStack]

Lol it generated 470k in revenue. Maybe Jon just felt like lighting a production company’s money of fire

[@Bisquick]

But even after such a noble attempt, money lived on happily ever after. *_*star-wipe to black_**

[@nothing-2-live-4]

the wisconsin vibes are all the way off in this movie. first of all wisconsin towns dont have german sounding names or architectural themes, but the movie takes places in a bavarian looking tavern in a town called deerlachen. The town would either just be called "Deer Lake" or something french like "Fon Du Lac" "Portage" or "La Rue." Or of course something native sounding like Pewaukee or Sauk Prairie. There's a joke about poutine, we don't eat poutine. Nobody here eats poutine. There's lots of jokes about people in wisconsin still having literal phone company dial up. That's a dead giveaway that the movie was written in 2006 because that's about the time Charter started taking Wisconsin as an early market before it became the telecom giant "spectrum" it is today. Jon Stewart sent someone to Wisconsin in 2011 when the right to work thing happened and thought "I know literally everything about this culture now"

To his slight credit, at least from the limited amount I've seen/heard, he _seems_ to have at least somewhat re-found the thread (if he had the thread to begin with #brilliantcallback #gottem). I'm thinking specifically of his somewhat recent interview with Jamie -demon- Dimon in which he passive-aggressively (and far too respectably/under-confidently unfortunately) pushes him on the actual content of socialism, ie transparently obvious decades-long class war. Maybe he was overtly embarrassed by this ep. In fact, he definitely was, let's go with that cuz it's funny.

[@redlightmax]

Yep, Jon's become too Kumbaya. John Oliver is far better now.

[@MJH-kr4zg]

I don't think he's been "on point" for quite awhile. The Rally to Restore Sanity I think really showed what he was all about. Doesn't make him bad, but his brand of politics haven't been what's "needed" for a long time now. I don't think his future work will be of much relevance to anybody because of this.

Films like this is why I hate the films lf Frank Capra, because they all make their films like his, where America and politics are idealized and there are no blemishes within in and only a few rich people are the ones trying to make everything bad. Everyone wants to be like him without realizing that the times today have outgrown that type of outlook and are self aware that America is nihilistic and cares more for commercial goods being sold than the people buying them.

[@Arby631]

Anachronistic

[@jayessarr1]

It sounds like the movie they wish this was was a little seen 2015 or 2016 film called HITS, which was David Cross' directorial debut, where Matt Walsh's character (the UCB comedian not Daily Wire freak) goes viral after lambasting his city council for not filling in potholes and becomes kind of a local hero and legend, only for it to be revealed in the last act that he's a white nationalist. Terrible movie, but at least it attempts to be subversive.

[@Martinroadsguy]

John Stewart was never funny. His entire schtick in the 2000s was just playing a clip of George Bush and then stopping it to make a goofy reaction face for a few seconds. Bush being elected was the best thing that ever happened to his career.

[@MJH-kr4zg]
