For any gamers it is very similar in style to Arkham Asylum game, dark and moody.

It was three fucking house long though and I nearly peed my pants!

Haven't seen the new Batman but will once it hits HBO Max. Pattinson is quite a good actor, just have to ignore his Twilight days

He was really good in The Lighthouse alongside Willem Dafoe.

I watched Contagion and found it amazing how it relates to the pandemic. I was amused by Matt Damon's movie daughter when she lamented the 133 day pandemic since we're 730 days and counting as of today.

And it was brought to the U.S. by Gwyneth Paltrow's infidelity. Damn woman. lol

In that movie's world, would've happened anyway.

Watched this weekend. Try to view at least a few of the Oscar contenders.

Interesting film, one which leaves much up to inference by the viewer based on the minimal conversation between the characters. You think the plot is going one way (again, based on inference), but it takes an abrupt turn. Very solid acting and beautiful scenery. Not sure if it reaches level of being Oscar-worthy for “best film”, but is worth watching.

Same! It finally became available on Netflix so I watched it a few days ago. It showed the wet market, China, people spreading it, etc. That movie was ahead of its time. Made me wonder if someone watched it and decided to do it for real.

I didn’t get that impression, I thought the virus came from the fruit that was consumed by the bat which dropped a piece into the pigs. The suckling pig was then sent to the casino that was eaten by her and spread through the cocktail glass and went rampant. Her infidelity in Chicago spread it in the US and killed her son and others at his school.

After watching Sean Penn on CNN, I followed his recommendation and watched “Winter on Fire”. It will reinforce how ruthless Putin and his puppet politicians and cronies. The Ukrainian people are a rare breed, strong, determined and need our support immediately.

True, but the movie makes such a big deal about her infidelity and poor Matt Damon is her victim. The slut.

Just kidding, of course.

PS - An alternate plot to the movie could've been she created the virus in GOOP laboratories to sell jade eggs as a cure-all.

Have you watched The Zero Theorem?

stein_325i · 03-07-2022, 09:41 AM

Watched The French Dispatch last night. Great movie, but definitely an acquired taste for some, you have to be a fan/familiar of Wes Anderson's artistic style to really enjoy it.

Pattinson has both good and bad moments.

Towards the end I just wanted it to end as it went on for 2.5 hours already. It wasn’t boring or felt draggy, just grew a tiny bit long in the tooth towards the end. I highly recommend it though. Watching it in Dolby Digital was fantastic.

Just watched it also and this review is spot on.

Yesterday I saw the movie Uncharted. It is great movie, a little bit like Indiana Jones. I like this ;-)
