Still interested in it even though this thread devolved into an apparent s show.
But if you'd ever like to debate the fact how exactly wrong your statement is and that it's the exact opposite of reality then you're more than welcome any time.

You may not like the actors, doesn't mean the cast wasn't a factor.
Brian Earl Spilner said:
Sure, but plug in a "regular" cast and we're definitely not talking about this viewing record.

Uh, that's what was being discussed when you responded to me.

F84 is where the cult lies, bud. I'll chalk up the fact that you have no argument to support your complete fallacy and move on.Sapper Redux said:johnnyblaze36 said:Don't want to F16 this thread.

Where? F16? No thanks. I gave up arguing with cult members years ago.

Thought it was funny. Good but not great. Felt like a sequel to Idiocracy.
Everything was so obviously a metaphor for climate change the same way Aslan was a Jesus metaphor in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. But I think that was Adam McKay's point, for it to be over the top obvious.
I understand not liking the movie but everyone bent out of shape over it are probably the same people who think climate change is a liberal hoax, i.e. the people McKay depicts in the movie. So I'm sure they felt it was too preachy. The whole point of the movie was that we (the public) dont seem to give a **** about a problem until we can see it directly in front of our faces. And that greed will always trump doing the right thing for the good of the people. Definitely a depressing social commentary.

That scene was a good one. Made me sad thinking about sitting around the dinner table with my family knowing we were all about to die.unmade bed said:
Been a few days since I've seen the movie and I gotta say upon further reflection I really enjoyed the damn thing and it has stuck with me, especially the ending where they are having a family dinner together and Leo says, "we really did have everything, didn't we." For me it just drove home the point that despite all the noise in our world (and the film did a great job making fun of all the noise), we can find happiness right where we are.
Okay, I said my piece, now you can get back to hating on the movie and arguing about politics.
Except it has been the mainstream position of plenty of conservatives for decades now. The language has shifted a bit in recent years because even the deniers are having trouble explaining the changes, but the basic principle has not.ABATTBQ11 said:larry culpepper said:

The problem is that those people are nothing more than a trope. The idea that they, "think climate change is a liberal hoax," is a straw man. The opposition to the politics of climate change is much more nuanced and has legitimate points that people like McKay delegitimize by by boiling them down to, "You disagree with me, so you're just a yuk-yuk idiot."
It's not preachy. It's offensive.

Oh yes, highly trained medical professionals are the REAL cultists… remarkable. Thanks for reinforcing why I avoid your nesting grounds like the plague.
Glad you came and posted on the thread about it. Everyone was eagerly awaiting you to come say that you have no desire to see the movie, and now we can happily go about our lives knowing that it's no longer a mystery. Such a great addition to the conversation.La Bamba said:
I didn't watch it but given the comments here about the liberal propaganda bs and global warming preachiness, guess what? I still won't watch it, I'll say I did, and then tell everyone I know that it's a crap movie and that's it's not worth their time so they dont watch it either.
i'm sure they exist, but i don't know a single conservative that doesn't think climate change is real. i know a few that say it's not man made, i guess.Sapper Redux said:Except it has been the mainstream position of plenty of conservatives for decades now.

most people don't deny it's existence, they just don't think changing tax code is really an effective way to fix it.

I always see this as an excuse not to do anything. We are a huge contributor. So yes, it does matter what we do.

Really? The standard-bearer of the Republican Party claimed it was a Chinese hoax.
And even now 36% of Republicans believe it isn't happening. Again, that's an improvement over recent years.

Not even remotely, and that is even true DESPITE the fact that the entire scientific community sucks at the political teat to push this crap, and has been since the corruption of educational institutions really picked up in the 90's.Sapper Redux said:
I'm sorry, but if you're just completely dismissing every bit of scientific research into the question as politically motivated (which no other government in the developed world, conservative or liberal believes), then what exactly would you accept? Because the scientific consensus around anthropogenic climate change and the dangers it presents is about as rock solid as anything else you'll find in science.
