You just described two groups I really detest. Please try to convince me that this film wouldn’t be a complete waste of time?
The film isn't dedicated to social media and influencers at all. It's about one man's quest to defraud thousands of gullible social climbers who all wanted to have a great time.
However, one does feel a certain schadenfreude, when all is said and done.
In and old post I told that I saw the film "Trotsky", which I recommended to see.
But recently I received a notice that the sponsor of the film was Mr. Putin, who has a bad opinion of the October 1917 Revolution, and had purposely made the film to criticize Trotsky because its cruelty and having shot thousands of soldiers of the Red Army, only because they were retreating under the pressures of the White Army in 1919 and later.
Therefore my deduction is that he is longing of the power that the Zarist Russia had. Indeed, if you go to Russia today there are many old symbols that reminds the Romanov dynasty. For example, the use of the double headed eagle with the image of St Michael, as a part of the Russian escutcheon.
That is a stunning surprise for me.
I am recalling the old Latin motto: "O tempora, O mores".
It always improve the prestige of a statement if you include a Latin motto. (To tell the true, I did this trick several times...)
Good for the California Napa Valley wines. Unbelievable in the 1960's, when wine was not popular in the USA.

We tried Fyre for 30 minutes, but just couldn’t push through.
We watched Gerald's Game last night . Its the film from the Stephen King novel.
A bit horrific at times but a decent film in the end.
Last night we watched DirtyJohn

Its a TV type series …
We enjoyed it although the John guy is a bit of a bastard.....
Dirty John was pretty good, apart from that dumb woman!
We're now watching The Disappearance of Madelaine McCann, which is revealing in its sinister undertones.
At the same time we're watching You, a very modern, millennial type creeper, where the main protagonist becomes obsessed with a girl who walks into his book shop.
Just binge-watched Russian Doll on Netflix. Kind of a black humor version of Groundhog Day. Crazy-making, but oddly compelling.
Only 1 season, 8 episodes.
We watched one and a half episodes last night, which is about as much as I could bear before cringing and stabbing my eyes out.
Not one single character was likeable or possessed any redeeming features. In fact, each was a one dimensional cardboard cut-out.
The protagonist was simply irritating and I was hoping that she would just stay dead and not come back, to be honest. It was all just so pretentious, badly executed and not a patch on Groundhog Day, which grabs you from the start and is also very humorous.
I have watched After Life by and with Ricky Gervais and I love his bitter humor.

I’m dying laughing because your ‘stabbing out eyes’ reaction was identical to ours. After the first episode, we both commented that we didn’t think we could go through another of her deaths. After the second, we were hoping she’d take all her annoying friends along on the next death. But we persisted out of some perverse need to give it just one more chance. After the 3rd, we were almost halfway to the end, and decided to go ahead and commit another 1.5 hours to finish it.
I suppose there’s no need to add that the ending was completely unsatisfactory .
BTW, Groundhog Day also made me want to pull my hair out.
I hope she was hung, drawn and quartered, just like poor old Mel was all those years ago.
