MSNBC ''Morning Joe movie review: Life imitates art!


Anyone remember what happened to the dinosaurs, among other similar mass extinction events? Catastrophic impact from space4 is not any question of '"if"' but indeed merely of "when.'' However, if their review of the Netflix farce: 'Don't Look Up!' the 'Morning Joe' crew, drawing the movies heavy handed metaphor to dysfunctional climate change and pandemic politics, all remained so blithely oblivious to alarming defense unreadiness before the ongoing real life actual natural threat of high speed random collision of our planet with massive asteroids and comets. Indeed, life imitates art! Clearly MSNBC has learned nothing from astronomy and geological history, nor even from recent impacts and near misses. At this juncture, I will not review the movie's own dubious merits and painful cringe humor, nor the glaring scientific and engineering plot holes.

Cate Blanchett's character, Brie Evantee, The TV text reader:
In My Opinion, was based on Mika Brzezinski who works on MSNBC's Morning Joe.

Perhaps Joe and Mika were unhappy with the parody of Mika B.

TimMC, your response is non sequitur.

Joe & Mika are politically explicit, politically centered. The analogy doesn't fit. Its more like one of those generic entertainment shows, along the lines of Regis & Kelly.

reply

IMO she was based on an amalgam of Kelly Rippa and that sandwiched chick on Fox n Friends.

Classic. I got that impression of Mika too. Absolute tool show as well as the whole MSNBC network
