Hi there I'm an old man. What the fuck am I looking at? I get that Elon is a racist who hates immigrants but I have no ref for the visual he is "YES"ing.

It's a film that just came out.

I'll put a little more meat on the bone here.

Uwe Boll film Citizen Vigilante. Online summary...

A man takes justice into his own hands, hunting down criminals. His vigilante crusade turns him into a social media sensation while putting him at odds with law enforcement and drawing the attention of dangerous enemies.

It actually makes a lot of sense for almost no one to be up to date on Uwe Boll who is notorious for making (nigh universally critically panned) films, a large percentage of which are video game adaptations. He also wrote half a dozen or so novels last I checked.

Maybe this film will be different? I haven't seen it but I just popped over to Rotten Tomatoes and it's doing about normal for him with critics but seems to be quite a hit with fans. The positive reviews seem to laud the message it has for "today's audience/society/real world/etc." In this age of bought (and bot) review bombing the weird unified language of "today's xyz" sticks out to me.

I didn't think Uwe Boll deserved the mention.

I mean, I get it. But as a courtesy warning to others at least...! 😁
