INTERCEPTOR on Netflix - Pure woke
 

This is a woke version of Under Siege.

Why is it No1 on Netflix?

I heard it got some bad reviews but... It doesn't look that bad.

on my list of shit to watch tonight lol

Just the hero's journey again with a female lead.

Spend time doing something important. I am trying to open a portal into another dimension. Not sure where to begin. I am reading a book by a guy in a wheel chair, I think I need to open up a bunch of microwave ovens.

What exactly makes this "woke"? Woman gets punched and shot at, hillbilly and a few others turn out to be a traitors, Indian bloke dies. I didn't see any "woke". Just a really boring film.

I haven't seen the movie but based on the trailer - It does look like a 'girl power' reboot of under seige. It's a woman (girl power!) saving the day, kicking the asses of battle-hardened soldiers in hand to hand combat, as if trying to show that woman are physically equal to and even stronger than men.

That's hardly "woke". There have been women in films, kicking arses, and saving the day for decades. I remember Cynthia Rothrock from back in the day.

People just seem to use the "woke" term for all types of silly shit these days.

Like I said, I haven't seen it but pretty much everything released on Netflix is propaganda so no reason to think this will be any different.

1. Her back story is pure #metoo, where we are told she had a white old man try to take advantage of her. We have this confirmed also by another female soldier who claims all female soldiers are sexually assaulted.
2. President = Female
3. All males incompetent.
4. Back story of bad guy is America sucks and is a lie.
5. White soldier is sexist/rapist and racist.
6. Males are all morons messing up.
7. Male adviser at white house white male and as such stupid.


Next stupid story:

1. Apparently it is easy to steal Russian nuclear weapons.
2. Apparently it is easy to drive Russian nuclear weapons around Russia and no one will notice.
3. Apparently on America INTERCEPTOR bases are easy to attack. We have an American defence base near me in England. I stopped to check my wheel on my car a few years ago. They had a police car next to me in two mins to make sure I was not a bad person.
4. When the Interceptor is attacked, they send two helicopters out. I suspect they would have jet fighter planes in the real world and arrive in minutes. And a full fleet.
5. Apparently no one notices that the janitors look fitter and stronger than the solders on the base.
6. Apparently no one notices that one of janitors looks looks like the son of someone important.
7. Apparently America does not bother to use any planes or anything to go after nuclear weapons. The only missiles they have must be on the interceptor.
8. Apparently Russia no longer has a self defence system that could blow up the nukes as soon as they are launched.
9. Apparently satellite systems do not work, and no one could track the nukes being stolen.

It is woke because her back story is she is a victim of a white male who has a high rank. Then we are told by another female that ALL females in the army have suffered such abuse.

In truth, the story does not explain why she has such training, as it suggests she is more office based. In Under Siege we are told he is a former Navy SEAL.

In Under Siege when you see the top brass they are sat around a table debating, and you feel the tension. In this film, they are doing webcam, stood looking stupid. At that stage your at high risk, and as such, they would be on a safe nuclear war room, not sat as if they are watching a baseball game.

If you take Alien, Sigourney Weaver looks stressed. You feel her emotions. In this film, people are just saying a few silly lines, and look as calm as anything. The reality is, they could be starting a full scale nuclear war, with nothing left. Even if you only hit the USA, the radiation, would presumably infect other countries. You would think some of those involved would be a bit stressed.

The flip side is, the action bits are rather good.

It could have been a lot better film, with not such a silly story, and someone who could write lines.

It's easy enough to watch stuff that interests you. Watching a show or a film doesn't have to be about dissecting it to find some meaning. Sometimes it's just a show or a film.

Oh ok, so you have two issues here. 1) You don't like women who can kick the shit out of you. In your specific case, I understand why. 2) You don't understand make believe

What you're looking for is a documentary.

As for the Russian submarine.

How did they detect it, then they are almost impossible to detect.

Why did the sub not simply blow up the base with a torpedo?

Did the submarine not have nukes? If so, why did it not launch them directly next to a back in America where they would have no time to hit with missiles.

Was the sub Russian military or Russian terrorists? If they were terrorists why did they not kill her at the end hoping that would start a war, or at very least kill a witness.

Why did the USA or even the UK have subs in the area, if not a fleet of warships, if they had noticed a Russian sub in the area for days?

Also why were the terrorists getting paid in dollars?

Presumably if you nuke the USA the dollar value would crash. If anything the world economy would crash to be honest.

I never said any of the above.

If you want to make points about my opinions, perhaps you should not lie.

It is a pure lie.

In nothing I have stated, did I say I 'don't like women who can kick the shit out of' me. Do you want to admit you lied, or do you just want to make up make lies to try to win your argument?

One of my favourite films is Alien. So if I was against strong women, then, it would seem rather odd that I love this film.

There's too many coincidences in too many shows and movies to not look for secondary meaning...

Out of interest, have you watched this film, or are you simply trying to defend it, because you think it makes you look good defending anything woke.

It reminds me of Ghostbusters (2016 film), when people defended it, because they wanted desperately to look like a good person, and so said it was great (even though they had never seen it). It was rubbish, not because it had females, but because it had no real story, and poor jokes, bad acting, a cast that did not work as a team. If anything, it seemed to be a 2 min low budget dull TV sketch, turned into a fill film.

Its not the fact that these films are woke. Its the fact that they have zero substance and will just do speeches.

In this film, she basically is saying I am female and as such a victim, to white males who abuse me. This is backed up by another female who states that all women in the military are victims of sexual abuse.

The bad guy then, tells us a speech how the USA is a lie, and needs to be blown up.

The bad guy then tells us using the person of colour that he is a victim as he will not be treat the same as someone white because of his religious beliefs.

We even have a point at the end about ageism. Where her dad is saved by other elderly people. Not sure why he is even in a home, as he looks fit and healthy enough to live on his own.

The Pentaverate, on the last show. We are told that things are great as it got rid of all the white males, and replaced them with a diverse power. Yet must have forgotten that one of the bad people was non white. I guess we must forget that Mike Myers was not woke with Austin Powers films with characters such as Fat Bastard, and the babe bots and so on.

Why is everyone pretending this woke rubbish is what people believe. Everyone has got scared in case they something that is not woke and the bullies pile on. And everyone turns into a bully to avoid being bullied.

And guess what folks, I will not be bullied by anyone.

Only cowards bully others.

Is this what you're calling lies these days? Listen to yourself complain about a work of absolute fiction. I don't think you know how films work, and yes, I think you don't like women who can kick the shit out of you. There, I said it again.

Make points about your opinion? I don't know what to say really. If you critiqued every fucking implausible thing you watched, you'd never have Harry Potter, GoT, Batman, or any fucking watchable thing really. With the exception of that masterpiece of you prancing around the moors in a fucking wedding dress, tongue fucking a skull.

Calling it "woke" because it depicted stuff like females having a difficult time in the military, is quite frankly, stupid. It actually happens. 1 in 4 servicewomen report sexual assault.

Out of interest, can you provide any evidence to back up your claim, or how you got to your conclusion that I am against strong women.

However I will grant you that I do not like anyone who would assault me. Perhaps you are into being assaulted and abused, as I know some people are into that type of thing, but in truth I am not.

My friend is an ex soldier (male) and he was nearly killed by his female partner.

Story: https://www.manchestereveningnews.co...bbell-10936029

I have also a female friend who was beaten up by her husband (she has now left him).

So you are correct that I am against people beating others up.

So if that was your point, then fair enough.

However I suspect you were trying to suggest I was anti women, and strong women. If that was your argument, then please provide evidence to back your claim up. Also if this was your claim, please explain your statement 'In your specific case, I understand why.' I would be most interested why you could understand why? If you are making an allegation against me, please be clear what this is, rather than hiding behind some strange sentence. The reason being is that people may interpret your statement to mean something.

So can you do the decent thing, and that is to make things clear what you mean, rather than do that bully thing, they do on twitter.

If you wish to make statements against me, please be clear.

1. You think 'you don't like women who can kick the shit out of you'. Is that evidence. I think I am a blue alien named Zack from the planet zozo. It does not mean it is true. Clearly you have no evidence that I 'don't like women who can kick the shit out of you'. As such you are making an allegation about me that is not true, and could be breaking gfy.com rules.

2. I have posted reviews on this site and my own blog about films and TV's. Do you not understand that people review films and TV shows. You may ne be aware of this, but they have things such as rottentomatoes.com where films are reviewed. Indeed in the UK we had (mat still do) have a BBC show where films are reviewed. https://youtu.be/EPw_E-yRvTE You will find over the years films are reviewed in newspapers.

3. I am not sure if 1 in 4 have been assaulted. The link below suggest that 1 in 5 who have been assaulted report it. It suggests that 5,061 troops reported cases of assault but only 484 cases went to trial. We should also remember that just because someone claims to have been assaulted, does not mean they have. An example being the Amber Heard trial.

With the shit going on in Ukraine and with Russia, the last thing i would want to watch is another Armageddon movie :2 cents:

Just to be clear, these two statements could be breaking gfy.com rules:

10. False accusations against a person or company. We all want to know what companies and individuals have done you wrong. Just make sure you back any claims you make up with solid proof. If you plan on calling someone a scammer, liar, cheat, or anything else, have your proof in order and post it with your claim. False accusations will be grounds for immediate banning.

11. Insinuations Meant to Do Harm Any insinuations made in an attempt to do harm to a person (personal attack) or business, shall be grounds for immediate banning.

https://gfy.com/gfy-rules-and-regula...gulations.html

It is in my opinion, the two thoughts you have against me, cannot be backed up by any evidence. However I have posted on this site for ten or so years, so feel free to look for a single post where I have said I do not like women, or indeed anything to back up your thoughts.

I think you should post proof please, or retract your statements.

Please provide evidence that I do not know how films work, considering I shoot films each week.

Also a question (again) to RazorSharpe.

Have you seen the film or not.

If not, then why are you trying to defend something you have not seen. In my opinion, that is rather silly.

If you have seen it, do you agree or disagree with all the points I made about the film?

Indeed, could you give us your review of the film?

What did you like and not like about the film?

You think they are allegations, do you? Okay, I'll say it again.

1. I don't think you know how films work.

2. I think you don't like women who can kick the shit out of you.

Please ask for me to be banned, or fuck off.

"that bully thing"? Cunt! You do that to Natalie on a constant basis. You're up there with some of the shittiest people I have had the misfortune of meeting.

I do not want anyone banned, and would not ask anyone to be banned.

But I will switch this around. If I said I think person x has sex with children, do you think that would not be seen as an allegation?

You have stated in my opinion a few allegations.

But at the same time, you seem to be defending a film that I am not sure you have seen, and complaining that I have made my observation about the film.

You seem to have a problem with someone having an opinion about something.

I have made a lot of points about the film, that you seem to have ignored (suggesting you have not seen the film), yet moaned that I posted about it.

To be honest, I am not sure what your motive is for your posts?

Were you hoping that others would join in, and bully me off gfy.com?

Were you hoping that by trying to look woke you would be seen as a good person, and me a bad person?

I honestly do not understand your motives with your posts on this thread.

Again, have you seen this film or not?

I do not believe I have attacked Natalie. As Gary stated it was him posting as Natalie to avoid the ban he had. I can provide the link to that post on gfy.com if you want.

As for meeting you, I do not remember meeting you. When was this?

If I did meet you, clearly you must be very unimportant to me to remember you.

But you interest me now, when did I meet you?

You seem rather angry and aggressive.

Do you have mental health problems or something?

6. Excessive harassment or verbal abuse of a single member, will be grounds for a warning. Inciting others to harass or verbally abuse a member will also generate the same warning. Repeated violation after warning will result in the ban hammer!

https://gfy.com/gfy-rules-and-regula...gulations.html

It may be determined that your posts are harassment and verbal abuse.

I'm absolutely not woke. Would a woke person tell you you're a cunt? Also, most people here think you're pond scum; I don't have to put any effort into making you look or seem like anything.

I don't care if anyone joins in, bullies you, or sides with you. You called a film woke because it had a female president and because it had a female lead that kicked a few men about the filmset. I was just trying to tell you, in a more subtle way, that I think you're a fucking stupid cunt. There's my agenda.

So back to the thread.

What did you think of the film RazorSharpe?

Did you agree with any of my points?

1. Can you prove most people think I am pond scum? No one who knows me has ever said I was pond scum.

And if someone does not know me, how could they have an opinion about me.

Can you back up your claim with proof please.

When you say most, what percentage of the worlds population are you claiming that believes I am pond life?

Indeed does it matter if people think I am pondlife? Does it mean that I should not have an opinion. Would that not mean I am a minority, and so does that mean you do not believe minorities should have the same rights as others?

2. You claim I am a stupid c@nt for having an opinion about a film. So what is your opinion about the film. I presume you have seen it, as only a 'stupid c@nt' would be defending something they have not seen. And I Presume your not a 'stupid c@nt'. So let us know what you think about the film.

Anyway RazorSharpe, I am off to walk my dogs.

I will be back later to read your view of the film.

As I am sure you have seen it.

Also I hope you get help with your anger.

And can you tell me where we met, as I honestly do not remember meeting you.

Also, can you tell me how I offended you when you met me.

Ok, let's say I didn't watch the film, and that I just go about calling films I haven't watched boring.

Hey stupid cunt, I'm not "defending" anything. Why would I? I didn't make the film. All I'm saying is stupid cunts, like yourself, go about dropping "woke" at everything these days. It's pathetic.

Looks like garbage.

:2 cents: :1orglaugh: . . .

Finished watching the movie the action scenes were ok the talking was annoying as shit.

Want disappointment then get ready for the new Predator movie.

You sound a bit mentally unwell, with your anger.

Can you post where you met me, as I do not remember ever meeting you as you claim.

That's the thing, it could have been a great fun film.

Instead they added all the woke chat as they could.

"met you" was actually inaccurate. We were in the same space is a little more truthful. That was creepy enough.

What place was this and when, and why was that creepy?

Do you have mental health problems? I ask, as your posts make you sound like you have some problems. I hope you get the treatment you need.

Before you reply, perhaps you should think about your posts more, as I suspect anyone reading your posts will conclude you are not healthy in mind.

I find it odd that you make it clear you have met me, know you admit this was a lie.

But can you now tell us where you claim you were in the same building as me.

And how did you conclude that I was this dreadful person by being in the same building or area as me.

When you use the word space, it is possible you mean planet. Or do you mean a building. And if you did not talk to me, how do you know it was me, or indeed know I was even in the same building at the same time as you?

I think the good readers of this forum will wonder if you are of sound mental health when you seem to be defending a film that you may not have seen and claim you could work out if I was a good person, by not even meeting me. You seem to have supernatural powers. You should become a doctor as you could make a fortune, as you can tell people what is wrong with them without ever needing to see them.

Anyway RazorSharpe, I am off to walk the dogs, though I probably did not need to tell you that, as clearly you have powers to know all.

So to conclude, would one be correct to sum up your arguments as:

1. The film in your opinion, was not woke even though you do not seem to have seen it.

2. I am the worst person you have met, even though you have not met me.

But let us know where you claim I was in the same 'space' as you. I presume you have a pic or something of me as evidence.

I guess no reply to my comments.

What exactly are you looking for replies to? Neither of your statement summaries (they weren't arguments) are even close to what I said and most of what you said previously has no bearing on reality. I have better things to do with my time than sit about for hours arguing with a dunce.

Its become a hit:

It can seem like there is little rhyme or reason to which films reach Netflix 's 'Top 10' list, with a motley mix of critically acclaimed films scrapping with low-quality B-movies for the top spot. According to Netflix's audience, this has never been more true than in the rise of The Interceptor to the number one spot on the streaming platform.

The action-thriller flick has been panned as "the worst" on the platform by audience critics on Rotten Tomatoes, who have given the film a tragic 19 per cent rating on the site. Or, as one reviewer said of the unexpected hit: "GALACTICALLY BAD".

Surprisingly, the film's co-writer and director Matthew Reilly told Variety that he was "just as confused as everyone else" to see his film reach the number one spot in the 'Top 10 Films' listing in countries around the world. He said: “It’s blown me away, I was hoping to sneak into the top 10 on Netflix, but coming in at number one everywhere?

“I don’t think anybody was expecting it to take the world by storm.” Laughing, he continued: “I’m just as confused as everybody else.”
