Well I know the AGI h8rs are probably fully erect against this but this looks like a full on high concept big budget vulgar comedy, so true to brand. Can’t wait!

I'm hot and cold on AGI, but this looks fantastic. Most anticipated of the year

I like Amores Perros, and nothing since, but doesn’t it bother you this is seemingly a Dr Strangelove reboot? Like isn’t there enough new political turmoil we could mine for comedy without recycling the form this extensively?

Detest the way it looks, VistaVision or not. Has that Terry Gilliam stink all over it. It's not every day a 'big awards season movie' trailer comes out and looks like it could be one of the biggest flops of all time, but cannot imagine a person I know IRL who is going to scramble for their car keys to get out to the theater and see this. Trailer plays like a relic of the George W. Bush presidency.

Just think his later work looks bad due to unusual directorial choices, it's a subjective comment that doesn't go any further than that.

Ah, ok. You dropped it so casually I thought I was severely out of the loop on Gilliam.

Anyway, I wasn't expecting this to be an old school climate change satire. But to judge from the trailer, if the movie gets one part of its climate change satire right, it's governments looking to giant multinationals to pull us out of the very problems those multinationals created in the first place.

What does this even mean? It’s bad because average joes won’t like it?
