And it's this kind of cartoonish language that speaks to their base

Exactly. We lost control of the spice and now our fascist government is desperate to get it back through evil means.

Exactly haha, I get enough real life traumatic validation if I turn on the news for a second or look out my window

That's my issue with the movie. People who don't believe in climate change aren't going to have their mind changed by a club, but need to be tricked with something subtle. Nothing entrenches someone deeper into their views then calling someone an idiot or telling them they're wrong. The movie represents everything that's wrong with how progressives and the "liberal elite" like McKay try and convince people to come to their side. If anything, this movie probably just furthered the divide. Having Leo in it probably didn't help, conservatives love to point out the hypocrisy of his private jet and yacht.

I say this as someone who worked on the Bernie Sanders campaign and have talked to him about how to change non-progressives minds, although I'm not sure he's made much progress either. Maybe a little more than McKay.

So who is this movie for, if not to sway climate deniers? If it was really intended to let a liberal audience grandstand and circlejerk about how they're so much smarter then everyone else (which I'm not denying), then I guess it did a pretty good job of that.

Edit: full disclosure as a movie also didn't enjoy it, jokes were kinda too on the nose. Also just felt and looked like a Netflix movie, kinda plastic. Idiocracy was way funnier.

Love this show so much, wish I'd found another like it. Great main character.

They have invested a lot, but these are nightmare conditions. Strongest wind storms in a decade, and hasn't rained in months. Nothing can be bought that can battle 100 mile an hour winds spreading fire faster than a car on a highway.

I hindsight they could've maybe done more controlled fires to lessen fire fuel, but that's an issue of planning and politics.

Touche

Ellison and his team have told Wall Street that they plan to build a “new Paramount” that will be a hybrid entertainment-technology company that leans into AI-infused efficiencies and works with companies like Oracle to boost the profitability of its direct-to-consumer business that includes Paramount+.

So many words to say nothing of value

Same exact thought! They say they may be religious, but I need to know more!! Guess that lore may be lost with the end of this tribe.

Seems to me they're using the sanctity of indigenous people as a way to protect the rain forest. Wish it being a very important natural part of our planet was enough to protect it, no appeal to human to human empathy needed.

Thanks, this is what I was wondering. What a world.
