Bruh, if they keep doing this, Olympus Has Fallen's plot is gonna seem realistic

(Can we just get Morgan Freeman instead of whatever this dumpsterfire we got?)

I think you mean Civil War (2024).

I liked that it specifically didn't choose a plot that mirrored any current events. It wasn't a conservative versus liberal thing, it wasn't a "south will rise again" thing.

I guess that depends on anyone's interpretation, it wasn't too on the nose, but imo the fact that it was "Ron" who played the president + they were racists against mexicans it can quite easily be interpreted as a stand-in for trump.

But I agree it wasn't trying to be preachy, just showing the horrific consequences of war, war on US Soil specifically

You're going to have the war last year? That's certainly ambitious.

No, but I live in the Plex/Jellyfin world of unambiguously naming movies by adding the year of the release in parentheses.

That was low key a good movie... Although Kirsten Dunst is like my celebrity crush.

Even upside down I can see the appeal
