Aren’t we already in a civil war? We certainly are internally which is ever worsening externally. Megyn says since this is an election year it could well be that the media and democrat politicians will spin this Chicago shooting on the south side as yet more evidence of white racism, “systemic racism” in AmeriKKKa. How about the fact that some of the cops involved were black? Doesn’t matter. According to left such cops have simply internalized the anti-black racism which permeates our society. Democrats hype things like this to get blacks to vote for them since they claim to be committed to “anti-racism.” Video is worth watching. Megyn shows clips from police body cams of the shooting. Pretty wild but he was obviously a thug and an example of why these black areas in all our major cities are war zones. It sure would be nice if blacks would take responsibility for their own neighborhoods.

It is rather amusing that the journey of “journalists” is the device used to advance the plot. As if there are any real ones left anymore that aren’t propagandists for oligarchs, stoking this very fire.
Appreciate the heads up; hard pass on this movie. If you like scenes of violence in the martial arts realm, a fun revenge movie I did see on Amazon Prime was an excellent take off on Zatoichi, only with a Chinese themed Blind Swordsman. The movie is called Eye for an Eye, with English subtitles.
Once again, movie makers have lost the bubble on how to make a story that entertains - and who fail to see who actually pays to watch their movies. Movies are meant to be an escape - to live other lives, to learn new experiences, to live vicariously in another world. But Hollywood and all the folks that are linked with them want to just make us change into something no one wants to be and - fun fact - we won't enjoy having that weird stuff shoved in our faces and we sure as hell won't pay money to see it.
Just to inject some reality into the discussion: if a war broke out among us - one where the FBI, NIS, CIA didn't actually know the participants and plans ahead of time - and it got to level portrayed in this silly movie, we would be immediately invaded by China, Russia, and maybe Iran too, while we were in that weakened and distracted state. It's a vastly different world since 1861 and the distances that protected us from outside interference aren't there anymore and there is a significant segment of the world that hates/fears us and can't wait to destroy us. China has even published military documents talking about seizing America for our temperate climate and large areas of arable land. "Lebensraum", as it were.
Disappointing to hear. I was hoping for a more realistic look at things and not a partisan propaganda piece. Not surprising though. It wouldn't have made it to mainstream theaters if it was.
That this movie was made should make it even more obvious that team Red and Blue are way past irreconcilable differences. My fantasy: when Trump wins, the deep Blue states secede. Obama adopts the mantle of Woke Moses, “Let my Woke people go!” Goodbye and good riddance.
Substack author Max Remington has a very different take on the movie that I thought was interesting. I would say maybe the most troubling thing about another American civil war will be the mass starvation. Probably many millions would die. Also, other countries would probably get involved. It would be catastrophic on many levels.
Here’s a Yahoo News article from The Telegraph about the movie I saw earlier today. Very leftist and typical of Yahoo News articles. I follow Yahoo News to see what they think of us. I believe we cannot coexist or separate and therefore are heading for implosion aka civilizational collapse which is already occurring in all our major cities.
Chicago is being destroyed by city-wide black wilding, crime and carjacking. Nothing can be done about it since the police are way too short handed to deal with it plus a serious crackdown on crime would have a “disparate impact” on blacks which would be considered “racist” and therefore unacceptable. America is disintegrating and our whole world is in a tailspin. I believe only AI can save our sinking ship. We’ll soon see about that.
“I see a working class and rural sort of alliance facing off against a laptop-class urban elite,” wrote one Reddit poster. “Of the two, I can guess who is tougher, more self-reliant and probably has military experience and knows how to use guns. It’s not the investment banker in the Hamptons or the HR executive for a tech firm in Silicon Valley.”
How America’s next Civil War could unfold: ‘It’s looming - the battle lines have already been drawn.’
Even a bad movie, if it reinforces the fantasies of fanatics like Meathead, is going to sell some tickets. The question is whether the writer really thought he had a great story, or was simply pandering to the crazies to sell tickets?
If I could I would just throw away everybody's damn phone. The internet would be shackled to your desktop with a big giant cathode ray tube monitor and only dial up access would be allowed. This would take care of about 85 percent of our current bullshit. We could get rid of the another ten percent by unplugging the internet. The other five percent is permanent and probably normal.
With a budget so huge and with a chance to bring people together, Alex Garland chose not to. If he was just starting out and needed the credits, I might see why, but I think he really does look at the world with single dimension MSNBC goggles.
Thanks for watching this so we don't have to, Sasha.

Go woke, go broke.
I haven't seen it; thanks to you all that have. From the outside looking in it appears to be a very failed endeavor.
Aside: Watching "Roadhouse" with Jake Gyllenwhatever vs Patrick Swayze is no contest; Pat, Sam and Kelly sealed the deal back in '89.

Another movie I don’t have to see. Shasha adding value once again.

I looked at the trailer(s) for this. OMG, how pathetic.
"Look at us! We're such brave people! Journalists are the bravest people!" Um, no. You're not brave. You are weak and pathetic. You are narcissists.
You try to raise yourselves by denigrating decent, hardworking people. It doesn't get any more disgusting on a human level than that.
You disgust me. I almost feel sorry for you, but I'm too angry to do that.
