This is probably the best show that's ever been on TV, with probably the best performance of Alan Alda , playing the most horrible person he's ever played. It's compelling , it rings true it's like a play , but it's on TV. I get why it only had a few chapters , ' cause it ain't easy doing that kind of stuff for more than a year.
Don't Look Up is an outrageous satire of our current state of politics mixed with our fascination with celebrity culture , the dumbing down of science mixed with the mindless triviality the idiot news services use to distract the masses. It is entertaining in an an annoying way . Is Meryl Streep playing a similar role she was playing in the remake of " The Manchurian Candidate" while using the same name of the character she played in "Adaptation" , a superior and more interesting satire? Leonardo DiCaprio is interesting playing a nerd scientist, the movie is curious , but I don't know if it really works... it's not all satire , not all serious...
I just watched "The Bellboy after all these years, and I gotta say, it's a work of art! If you are familiar with the little-seen but genius French director, Jacques Tati, you will see a lot of parallels to this movie and a Tati film, and that's a good thing! I assume Jerry borrowed from Tati, and that may be why he was so popular in France. See this film, it's visually stunning , and very funny, too!
