Caught an early screening, had some a AMC gift card than i needed to burn down.
I couldn't stop noticing how every leader, wise character or in a position of power was female or a POC.
President Kamala Harris.
Two Star Rear Admiral.
The V-22 Osprey Pilots.
The Temu version of Vazquez from Aliens.
Hillary Clinton as the Kamalas BFF and voice of reason.
The 5ft 80lb female asian secret agent that saves the day.
The 5ft military police chick is supposed to be guarding the most dangerous man alive, Ethan.
The Mantis from GotG chick taking down men twice her size.
Other than Ethan and Benji, White dudes were either bad or goofy. So the movie itself was okay, it kinda dragged at the beginning and the early attempt at Marvel - esque humor during a torture / escape scene.
The good: Hayley Atwell cleavage with a tank top in full IMAX glory. The stunt scenes, specially the underwater one.
7/10.
I had the TV on in the background the other night and ended up watching Late Night (2019) without realizing at the beginning that it was a Mindy Kaling vehicle.
It's about Emma Thompson playing an ageing out, frigid 50s female British American late night talk show icon who the network is trying to replace.
Kaling plays a perky wagie who girlbosses her way into the writer's staff as a temp by winning an essay contest at her chemical plant job.
The most notable thing is that Thompson's entire writing staff for the course of the movie are all liberal White soyboy male characters, but at least are all White men. There's also a subplot where Thompson's character slept with one of the younger, attractive ones, breaking up her marriage to John Lithgow suffering from Parkinson's.
The epilogue of the movie shows that Thompson saves her show from cancelation by becoming more likable & human by infecting her showrunning staff with diversity.
The final montage shows her office filled with blacks, POC women, Indian women with only the most dysmorphic men from her writing staff left over in a sea of DEI as the "happily ever after".
Edit: Found this 4 min anti-woke review that sums it up pretty well.
I timestamped the end of the video showing the epilogue new & improved DEI office staff, but the earlier review shows some clips of the evil, all White male soyboy writers room from when the show was failing
