The whole Yandee Doodle thing about it. Some moon sized holes in the story. When the stripper GF kicked in the door to hide from the blast everyone else had the good idea of trying to outrun. Why did the alien space ships come into the atmosphere at all? Why not bombard from space? The symbolism of a black guy and Jew saving humans. I don't care who it was but that's just the point. In the movie they really wanted to underline how it was a black guy and a Jew.

See where your coming from. But you have missed that fact that the real hero was a white Anglo Saxon blue collar American played by Randy Quaid. The mother space craft came into our atmosphere to show earthlings its enormous power and to intimidate them.

If the plan was to kill everyone, as it was in the movie, why feel the need to intimidate anyone? The white Christian guy is a druken idiot but in the end he sacrificed himself, that's true. That together with the smart Jew and brave negro saved everyone. I don't care that's the case, I only care about the identity politics I feel shouldn't be part of a sec fi movie.

  • One Battle After Another (B)
  • Bugonia (A-)
  • The Running Man (B-)
  • Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (C) Very far from "Knives Out" which was (A)

Rather than start a new thread, one which people probably won't read, let me put this here.
I like reading books. I do it most nights before I go to bed. I like sci fi books. Recently I read a masterpiece. I wanted to list my favourite books. If anyone has any recommendation, please go ahead.
  1. The Dark Forest (book 2 of the Three-Body trilogy)
  2. Earth Abides (It's classed as sci fi but I don't think it is really)
  3. Enders Game
  4. Dune
  5. Seveneves
  6. The Three-Body Problem
Nothing else really stands out.
