Don't Look Up (2021)
9/10
Low on Dopamine, but definitely necessary in today's (over-stimulated) world
5 February 2022
This movie may or may not reel you in.

If it doesn't, it's just because you're used to higher dopamine levels in other movies, TV shows, instagram posts, Tiktoks... (which, is the case for 99.99% of us.)

You'll have the feeling of wanting to drop off especially after about an hour of watching the movie.

However, the importance of the topic discussed here and the irony presented of our society will either get you to continue get watching (it does get better, btw. You dopamine animal.) or just drop it off for the day and watch it on another occasion.

Sadly, though, most people do NOT know that they're addicted to dopamine. Which, imo, is the absolute problem causing everything showed in the movie (and society) that the directors of this movie couldn't get. And didn't aim to solve. It's a good message regardless, but I wish that they had taken that extra step as the movie won't have a big impact. I hope that it's the first try of many more to come. The fix is a dopamine detox... but we'll leave the conv on how to do that and why for another day... because, it's like a 40-page thing.

Tony Robbins says that, we're no longer living in the "information age", we're now living in the "over-stimulation" age. And I couldn't agree more.

There's also the news thing and politics controlling the narrative, but I think modern society doesn't even read news anymore. What we're now doing is just people dancing and screaming on the other side of the screen.

Anyway, that was my message, just like Don't Look Up conveys a message.

You may or may not like it or it may not reasonate with you, but, I hope you give it a thought for a sec.

Kevin Hart: Irresponsible (2019 TV Special)
9/10
Damn was it good
2 January 2022
No idea why some people didn't enjoy it. The way he tells jokes by building them up is just fantastic. Laughed loudly at a lot of points, which is exactly what I want. I don't want to be having small laughs every 2 seconds. And yeah, his screaming was a bit cringy. But other than that, if you're looking for a standup to laugh and have a good time, this is it.

Maybe they went too far, but it's def entertaining and worth the watch

Well, maybe they went too far with this one.

Especially with the space trip (it shows that in the trailer - in case you think it's a spoiler) But... It was an awesome movie.

And as Joe Rogan would say: "I'm real. I don't want to watch something that's real, too." And I think he's right in some way.

What makes the movie exciting is this element of un-reality.

The movie was very entertaining also, I def recommend you watch it.

It's filled with action and excitement.
