Don’t Look Up and The Matrix Resurrections

Is the Netflix film Don’t Look Up worth watching? Yes! As an extinction-level asteroid heads for Earth, humans deny the threat and essentially twiddle their thumbs. As you’ve probably heard, Don’t Look Up is really a story about our pathetic response to the existential threat of climate change. There is an excellent review of the movie at Forbes of all places:
“Why Sneering Critics Dislike Netflix’s ‘Don’t Look Up,’ But Climate Scientists Love It”

I also enjoyed The Matrix Resurrections. I don’t think I ever saw the third Matrix movie, but Resurrections was fun, clever, good, and relevant to our times. Also, I loved the meta. Here’s a smart review of the film, at The Washington Post: ‘The Matrix Resurrections’ captures the real crisis of our post-truth era

Wow. Writing blog posts is so much easier when I just link to stuff. 😉
