It’s apparently consisting in large part of everybody’s favorite old grandfather Ice Cube staring into computer screens. And bad special effects.
Battlefield Earth was funny to watch because of Travolta’s hideous overacting and the bad costumes and shitty special effects and terrible camera angles; plotwise it was a complete snooze and I think one could just watch a compilation of its worst moments rather than sitting through the whole thing. This sounds closer to Ishtar, a boring waste of time and money.
Jeff Bezos is MAGA now and I think Ice Cube has been trying to walk back his own Trump support from a few months ago by decrying (ironically enough) ICE…but everybody is deliberately watching the movie compulsively, just like Sharknado. Which I didn’t watch, I was too busy with Breaking Bad at the time.
