Spielberg's latest is a massive pile of shite

    I didn't see it, I just read several articles where I've heard him speak about the importance of imagination and wonder and I fully agree with all of it and putting the same schlock out year after fucking year is not imagination or wonder

    I saw Disclosure Day.

    I thought it was awful.

    I freaking love complex, weird sci fi. I’m usually pretty optimistic about critically mixed movies, or “simple” ones like the He Man movie. He Man was fun!

    But DD was so unoriginal and… boring. It was actively unfun, implausible on many levels yet taking itself so seriously. I could feel the writers’ massive egos from my seat; imagination and wonder have nothing to do with it.

    I literally could not believe it got generally positive reviews.

    Disclosure Day Spoilers Below

    Why, ok, why.... right, just one question, why.... I really can't work out... WHY. IF YOU HAVE A FUCKING. LIVE. ALIEN. WHY. DO YOU NEED ALL THE FUCKING VIDEOS?

    WHAT WAS THE POINT OF ALL THE RUNNING AROUND? WHY? YOU HAVE A LIVE FUCKING ALIEN!!! JUST PUT THAT ON TELLY?!

    Sorry. It was so mind numbingly dumb from start to finish.

    more spoilersThe reveal wasn't just that aliens existed, it was also meant to show the government's abuse and mistreatment of the aliens.

    And you may not necessarily want to livestream your only living specimen from an easily identifiable location while the entirely of the human race is processing the reveal. Religious extremists might not feel the same way about alien life as our sweet old nun did.

    yet more spoilers

    Eeeh, I mean, the main mission was definitely proving the existence of alien life.

    Would you really ask these people to put their lives on the line just to prove that there was torture too? If they failed and Wardex took back all the footage they could still just roll ET out and get it to testify about the torture.
