Wow, you really hung in there, champ.

I feel like this is kind of the start of the next movie that needs to be made. The political idiots and business sharks only get in these positions of power because we have voting citizens who can't defer gratification long enough to make it through more than the first ten minutes of a middle-brow movie.

We have created a country where many think mainly with "gut" and can't handle focusing on anything that doesn't give them an instant dopamine hit with limited intellectual investment. End stage capitalism - a life so easy and comfortable that a movie that doesn't grab attention immediately in first ten minutes is doomed with a subsection of society.

Or maybe it was just boring?

Is science boring too?

I was dying laughing when they told Leo “no math” when he was going on TV. DH is a physicist and he said at the same time as Leo, “It’s all math!”

Totally agree. We could not get vested in it and found it weird and not very interesting, switched to a different show a half hour or so in. Glad others enjoyed though. Different strokes and all that.

I liked it.

Leonardo DiCaprio is 47. If he got married right out of college and had kids a couple of years after, those kids would be 23. It wasn't an unrealistic movie age-wise.

I guess they also won’t be reading any of the classics, since the first chapter is usually “boring.”

Yes, we love to laugh at how absurd you are.

Keep looking down, PP. It works wonders for your ilk.

I had not heard of it prior to watching, so I was pleasantly surprised by it. It was cute, and I did like the star-studded casting. Grande was my favorite. Dicaprio overacted a bit and Lawrences' character got on my nerves.

It made me depressed but it was good. It’s what we did with the pandemic and probably what would have happened if a comet was coming.

Also, as a scientist it is all math, but they’d never let you brief a President like that!!

It’s interesting that there wasn’t much emphasis on end of the world mentality in the movie, since few believed it I guess. I’m contrasting this movie in my mind with On The Beach, where everyone believed the end was coming and suicide skyrocketed and ruled no longer mattered. In this movie, people seemed to work pointless jobs until the end, crime remained low. On the Beach showed a different more depressing mentality which I think is more realistic.

The world is ending aspect reminded of the movie Last Night with Sandra Oh

And Melanie Lynskey is 44 and has a 3 year old in real life. I guess her character could have physically have a 25 year old, but that's unlikely as a university grad with a Ph.d studying husband.

But she is a far outlier. Most 44 year olds do not have toddlers. Its pretty ridiculous TBH.

25 may be a few years too old, but I have HS and college friends that had their first child when they were 22/23 and their husbands were the same age and in med school and grad school. I think that was supposed to be part of Leo's character.

Not that much of an outlier, especially around here. I had a 3yo and a newborn when I was 44.
