About Nick Offerman as president during a 2nd American Civil War

https://youtu.be/cA4wVhs3HC0?si=F3qRXuVXLQNPXDJ1

I'm surprised nobody has ever tried to make a civil war 2 movie before

I really like Alex Garland's work, but this one looks a bit too on the nose for my tastes.

I think I heard the director said there will be an important message behind this movie. I think they put it out this year, before the election, on purpose

Nah. I've recently seen New Empire, Frozen Empire, and a local viewing of Flash Gordon (1980) that was done for the eclipse. I probably won't be going to any movies this weekend. I might catch it when it comes to a streaming service, but I make no promises.

This climate is the reason the movie is being made. "What kind of American are you?" is topical as fuck.

First heard about that when we went to see Dune 2. The trailer made me very uncomfortable considering how many Republican voters keep calling for a civil war. But it did make me laugh that California and Texas were allies in the trailer. Texans hate on us so much, no way they'd side with us lol.

youd be surprised how positions change when resources become scarce. CA and Texas working together makes perfect sense both resource and location wise. Its obviously laughable now but if shit really hit the fan thats basically what both states would wanna do to become basically unstoppable (for all intent and purposes)

Not sure. The trailers don't really give that away. Just that California and Texas are allied on one side and Florida is leading the other side. I'd imagine they tried not to make it too close to real life, so it probably won't be Democrats vs Republicans

I'm interested in the movie, but I don't think I'll watch it in the theater.

that's more because I rarely go to the theater these days.

Not Friday, but I'll watch it eventually. I've liked the dudes other works and I am intrigued by the plot of it and to see if it's just him bullshitting in interviews when he tries to do same thing both sides.

I havent been back to theaters since Covid started. This movie is an enigma to me, because everything I have heard about the plot/concept of the movie makes it sound terrible, but I generally like Alex Garlands stuff, and I think the cast is intriguing.

https://screenrant.com/what-caused-civil-war-2024-movie/
As of the time of writing, the only information available about the plot of Alex Garland's Civil War is presented in the first trailer released on December 13. 2023. The reasoning behind the seemingly bizarre alliance of Texas and California in the film points to the notion that the war isn't over Democrat and Republican politics but more about Offerman's corrupt three-term Presidency. The United States federal government has apparently disavowed its allegiance to the United States Constitution and is now held under the budding dictatorship of Offerman's tyrannical President.

The article I read is that there is a president in his 3rd term who is refusing to vacate the position. Texas and California are leading the side attempting to remove him.

Yeah post 31 linked to an article saying that too. That's actually pretty close to reality then, which is scary.

He's played by Nick Offerman of all people. He said in an interview he wasn't trying to emulate any existing president but I guess the concept by itself hits a bit close to home.

I have no intention of paying to watch it, but If I see it streaming on Max or somewhere, maybe. If I want to see how bad it really is.

BTW, according to reviewers Nick Offerman has very little screen time.
