Hollywood sub IQ political engineering

Typical Hollywood insidious social engineering propaganda masquerading as Sci-Fi as a result of empty headed millenials feeding on anything that whiffs of science fiction even if the plot and writing is totally and typically mediocre at best and garbage in reality - when will this political nonsensical subterfuge stop?

But enough about Ex Machina.

when everything is political in our current time, what else could entertainment be?

The short story the movie was based on ("Story of Your Life") was one of the most intellectually brilliant pieces of sci-fi I've ever read. Granted, you might suggest that I've only been reading dumb stuff, but this story did win the 2000 Nebula Award for Best Novella and the 1999 Sturgeon Award, plus was nominated for a Hugo Award, all of which are some of the most prestigious awards in the science fiction world.

what.

Weird racism aside, the director of this movie is French. France is in Europe. He's of European ancestry.

listen, hes racist and high so just walk away.

[–] crom-dubh 8 years ago

Actually, he's Canadian.

Of course, that doesn't mean he isn't of European ancestry, but then all white people are in one way or another.

Let me guess, Matt Damon pops up in this crap to just to spout some liberal nonsense. It's in every contract he signs.
