I like the independent movie production vibe. I like that "Buck Compton" from Band of Brothers stars in the movie. I like the idea of trying to carve out a safe space in a sea of insanity, although I think such an effort is likely more fantastic than any special effects this movie might offer. And I like that a guy I know from the old life is an extra in this flick. Will report back with my thoughts.
Ever since 9/11 things have gotten more insane. First it was the assault on our civil liberties resulting from the attack. Then it was lying the nation into a war with Iraq. But the past several years have been a headlong swan dive into batshit crazy from our politics devolving into Idiocracy levels, to a "debate" over men in women's locker rooms followed by a U.S. funded virus being unleashed upon the world and resulting lockdowns.
Meanwhile the foreign country that owns our puppet government is expanding in the Middle East, American taxpayers are still forced to fork over massive money to Ukraine (for, I dunno, reasons) while their government is headlong barreling into bankruptcy and while AI absolutely promises to make humans economically unviable (yeah, yeah, I don't care about any horse & carriage industry allegories because this is not even remotely close to the same thing).
Then in comes 2025.
We have had one terrorist attack (unclear who is actually responsible for it) and then...
... an active duty, nineteen year serving, Special Forces soldier with a newborn kills himself in a cybertruck next to a Trump tower.
If that's not enough, he also apparently sent out an email claiming the drones over our east coast (which I failed to mention in my list of crazy happenings) are some super technology employed by the Chinese.
Yeah, happy new year. Don't forget to renew your NFL Season Ticket.
