He never went anywhere, the pandemic hit shortly after Once Upon Time in Hollywood so I'm sure that we'll see projects released.

Am I in the Twilight Zone?

Could've shown you put a link to The Dropout instead of that.

Hard pass on the Brad Pitt one, looks brutal. Maybe try Fresh.

Hmmm, we may have similar tastes, even if our demeanors may be different

Ya, that one looks too 'jokey' for me, not my cup of tea.

My Son and I went and saw The Batman today and have to say we both loved it and I have a very ordinary opinion of Robert Pattison.

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!

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.

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.

Pattinson has both good and bad moments.
