This is like when you watch some 20th century fox films and they use real government agency names. How are they even able to do this and they go, oh it's "ok" and they don't get sued. Meanwhile, they can be badmouthing them.

The other day was checking out Siege (1998) about Arab terrorism in NYC and the military takes over for the cops. And they're crooked. That's like bad mouthing the military.

I get it, they have to check whatever scripts, and if they don't like something they'll force changes. But just the way these real agencies are in so many movies with realistic scenarios.

You try to make a film where you try and use real agencies, you'd be sued so fast.

This one though Utopia, during fucking covid.. like this is obscene. Yeah they had some virus movies before.. but who's gonna be trying to release that in the middle of the real thing.

I think that's what they call "predictive programming", eh.

"Predictive Programming is theory that the government or other higher-ups are using fictional movies or books as a mass mind control tool to make the population more accepting of planned future events."

Like what's the purpose of this.. I think it has to do with messing around with getting it in the "collective consciousness".

A lot of this stuff though is maybe a bit like "revelation of method" where they tell us the truth so they don't get as much bad karma.

This fucking Utopia one though, in the middle of it. I don't know.. if you haven't seen it, check it out. I'm like in the middle of episode 5 of the 8. I'm there.. how the fuck are they even allowed to use "CDC" and not get sued.
