That's really all you needed to say Klaus. Case closed.

Are you saying The Net wasn't a classic film?

The stuff about "real media" in it was very QAnon-lite, and the alliance that forms between the stereotypical zoomer and Eckhart's working class chauvinist cop.
Totally.
On a different subject:
😆
A very harsh indirect burn of the Cumberbatch Holmes 😆
Ha, I was thinking of Downey Jr. lol

Nerve was fun at least. If you are in a mode for films like that Assassination Nation is also a not particularly good movie with similar themes.
Shit just read that Chadwick Boseman has died of cancer. Only 43. RIP.
Fucking hell, that makes me so sad. I loved Boseman. I've never seen Black Panther but he was fantastic in 42 and Marshall. I saw 21 Bridges the other month too which was surprisingly good, and I was thinking that he deserves a much bigger reputation as an actor outside the Marvel movies. Bloke was proper leading man material. Can't believe he's gone so soon.
What is going on with this year, da fuk.
Fuck i knew something was up. If anyone wants to cry watch his performance in Da 5 Bloods. It takes on a new dimension in light of his passing
Man was noticeably thin in 21 bridges. I remember commenting that he want filling up his suits either here or to someone else. Wonder if it was from the cancer or what.
First time I saw him was in Draft Day and he stood out despite having a relatively small part.
What shit news to start the day with.
Depressing stuff. Gave us a wide range of great performances. And was an inspiring guy when not acting. Rest in Power!
RIP - hard week with news of Sarah Harding suffering too
Watched Tenet yesterday. Not sure what I think about it. Felt a bit rushed at times. No real character or world building, but at the same time a completely bonkers plot that was kind of interesting.
Jesus Christ, this is so sad. Apparently he's been fighting this for four years, shooting movies in between treatments. Regardless of what people think of Black Panther, this guy died a hero to black kids all over the world.
Fucking hell, 2020 can't be worse. RIP.
Absolutely love him in 21 Bridges.
Would be nice if Auba scores and pays tribute to him.
Really sad news. He was well on his way to becoming a massive star too. Did a great SNL last year too so I reckon would have been good for a lot of good comedies too. Seen pictures of him this morning visiting kids in hospital, etc over the last few years too, very selfless when you are dying yourself.
