  • Asteroid City. Pointless

    From RichA@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 16 01:44:11 2023
    Drivel. Pointless, smug take on 50's that never existed. Concerns a group of kooks who show up at Asteroid City which is nothing but a small town in the desert near where they test atom bombs and they have a festival each year for geeks who excel in
    science. A father who is a writer brings his geek son. Everyone talking in a stilted inflectionless drone. Ha ha, how funny. Meanwhile, this is narrated by a guy narrating a black and white play.

    Last year was "Don't Worry Darling," another film set in a
    1950s desert town, which torqued the minds of some viewers.

    I wish it had torqued my mind. But it was a big nothing.
