the movie was gloriously frustrating.
Great description of it.
I can't bring myself to watch it. I saw a trailer, and my blood started to boil.
it does... but while it does, it still is a movie that sticks with you in other ways....
Yeah, I also have nightmares about the apocalypse. Ever since I had kids, I would have dreams about inescapable volcanoes or tidal waves and just feel completely hopeless. I don't need to watch movies about it. See also: 2012, The Walking Dead, The Road, A Quiet Place, the Day After Tomorrow, Deep Impact, The Mist, etc.
20 years ago it would have been considered a farce!
I didn't really know what it was about, and I watched it shortly after the November elections. I thought it was funny, but did I ever pick a bad time to watch it. It lost a lot of the overall joke feeling and while still farcical, now it's a little too close to reality.
That's how I feel, too. I appreciate the movie, but god will I never watch it again. It caused so much dread in me.
