Worst film of 2017?

kamikaxic

???
Google search yields zero results

Kamikaxe is the 63rd of 63 synonyms for self-destructive (Power Thesaurus, which doesn't show up on Google either [tisk]), ostensibly born of an etymology based on the word kamikaze. I took the liberty of coining an adjectival form, which I thought was cool since it rhymes with toxic. Sorry if that wasn't obvious.

Really? Care to say more about why you didn't like it?

I based my extensive non-review on the lies in the original, which were repeated in the preview, to wit:

The original predicted that a combination of storm surge and sea level rise would flood the 911 Memorial. And indeed it did--99.9999999% storm surge and 0.00000001% rise in sea level--to be generous, if that at all. Incredibly, the newscast of the flood it played, gave Hurricane Sandy as the cause, but no mention of sea level rise.

It shows a storm over a city, looks like here in Arizona, where he says, "Watch the water splash on the city". OMG, that shit's been going on for eons. Dramatic time lapse yes, but it's neither new nor unusual.

He talks about positive change while showing wind farms and solar panels which are expensive drops in the bucket. (Not to downplay innovation, I'm especially hopeful about hydrogen, but not in the near future.)

"Virtually every nation AGREED to get to zero greenhouse gas emissions...", which of course is a scheme to stick it to the US. And while we've cut our pollution down to next to nothing, China, India, Iran, cities in Africa and Eastern Europe etc. choke the populations of their cities with smog.

All the while showing, as in the original, ice bergs calving in Greenland and elsewhere as a sign of global warming. But it's actually a sign of growing glaciers. Global warming causes receding glaciers--Geology 101. That was probably the most egregious lie of the bunch, and he knows it, because he was called out on it after the original, and he didn't dare to re-articulate it in this preview--and this is just a preview which they couldn't produce without canard upon prevarication. Imagine a whole movie of this crap.

This is a typical sunny day in NY City now, unlike the smog choked 60s. Notice it when you watch a movie filmed there. LA hasn't come as far, they have perpetual inversions, but it's still much better than the 60s as well.


This is San Francisco, not far north of LA, which is also typical when they don't have fog.

In what accent?

ah Maaxwell, you're the best

[Stewball]

In what accent?

Ah, that would be in any accent of your choosing, but especially in a PC liberal meltdown drawl, which rhymes with commie-pinko whiner's bawl (ball/brawl, take your pixic.) BTW, what happened to your argument. D'it get lost on this neck cracking tangent...(intentionally, no doubt )?

[MacSwell]

Ah, that would be in any accent of your choosing, especially in a PC liberal meltdown drawl, which rhymes with commie-pinko whiner's bawl (ball/brawl, take your pixic.)

I was genuinely curious, because in an English accent (like mine), they wouldn't rhyme.

BTW, what happened to your argument. D'it get lost on this neck cracking tangent...(intentionally, no doubt )?

Indeed intentionally. That conversation was going absolutely nowhere.

If you want to discuss movies without all this relentless, tedious, irrelevant "I hate libruls" prattle, I'm all ears.

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. I was curious about your negative perspective on The Florida Project.

I haven't seen the Inconventient Truth sequel, but I can agree with your thinking here.

I don't bring up "librul" crap, they throw it out there, re: the OP, and I respond. Why do you judge my response prattle, but not their politically motivated cheap shots?

It does nothing but dwell on the irresponsible, idiot actions of the squatter, while the beleaguered manager keeps enabling her--all in complete antithesis to the lighthearted preview.
