We need a new version of this film: Instead of a nightmarish TwenCen totalitarian regime through bureaucracy, a "5 minutes into the future" one through Big Tech.

finished watching Succession Season 1 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
I just finished the first season of this... this collection of pathetic, despicable and petty humans. Loved it, fits what I imagine them to be, but I bet that the real one-percenters (zero-pointers now?) are far more ridiculous than these assholes.
Just imagine how absurd this show would be if it was based on the Trump family.

finished watching Light 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Not a crowd pleaser but a competent low-budget sci-fi. IMDB's voters have been dumber than usual with their ratings and RT's critics haven't bothered to watch it, but it's a slow paced, atmospheric movie that doesn't hold the viewer's hand and doesn't try to bite more than it can chew. I respect that.
If you're a patient nerd and, unlike IMDB voters, can connect the dots by yourself, there's an effective little story and world-building here, even if both are more implied than shown.
If I had to spell it out: this isn't a xenomorph movie, it'w a Weyland Yutani movie.

finished watching Nautilus 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Surprisingly good old-school adventure show, smarter and more visually attractive than I expected, character driven with an anti-corporate, anti-colonialism streak. And it doesn't let realism get in the way of giant sea monsters or just having fun.
No wonder the asshats at Disney canceled it and even refused to distribute this UK production, renewing instead my hatred for Disney, but the season is still watchable as a standalone mini-series.
Also, if you think that a couple of Indian characters are there only as comic relief, give the show a bit more time. They aren't.

This one might be climbing to the top of my reading list on the subject, let's hope it isn't expensive.

This could have been a fun dark comedy, but Shyamalan Shyamalaned it all over the place. Again.
Welp, at least it was nice seeing Zekey boy.

finished watching Dark Angel 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑
Pretty bad, not gonna lie, but the 80's aesthetics give it some undeserved charm. If you only ask for neon lights and practical explosions (which look so much better than CGI fire), you might as well watch it.
And the antagonist uses a flying alien CD that kills people, so there's that too.

finished watching Dredd 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
My interior dialogue while watching Dredd:
- I can't believe so many people didn't realize this movie was antifa, maybe if that theme was more developed...
- Well, people did the same thing with Starship Troopers and that one wasn't subtle, it was in your face antifa
- Shut up, some people thought Homelander from The Boys was the good guy
- ... *draws paralells with real people, real voters*... *dies inside a little bit more*
