Believe women.

Anyone know if this movie is ever going to be released?

The guy in that movie was absolutely fantastic as Yossarian in hulu's version of Catch 22. The premise seems familiar, but the movie looks good, I'm in.

My brother is really good friends with Robin de Jesús who is in this (he's the guy with the "hot cross buns" line in the trailer, great guy), and he (my brother) saw the show during it's short revival with this same cast back in 2018 and said it was amazing, so I have high hopes. But the trailer doesn't really do much for me. It strikes me as the kind of movie that would make me say, "I bet that was a great play." But I'll still give it a shot.

Did anyone even know this was happening? After CBS saw how Contagion was pulling views in the wake of COVID they must have been celebrating knowing they had this in the pipeline. I don't remember liking the original that much.

It wrapped production in March 2020 lol. Bet that editing team has been nice and not depressed. The original miniseries was pretty bad but it has a really great intro with Don't Fear The Reaper.

Yes we knew it was happening. I remember hearing about it a while back before for the pandemic.

It looks like poo poo.

I mean I hope it's good but it literally looks like poo poo. This sort of party gel, ultra clean "clearly made for TV and not the cinemas" aesthetic will not serve a gritty apocalyptic drama well at all. It looks like it's all soundstagey poo poo that will get no emotional buy-in.

Watched this last night and it's even weirder than the trailer would suggest. It's a bunch of loosely-interconnected stories that feel like they're fleshed out stories about side characters from Blade Runner or Children of Men. Scott Free has a producing credit on it, which explains a lot.

Yeah, it looks way too clean for The Stand.

Also why not use Don't Fear the Reaper again? It's even in the book.

In a good way, actually. The characters themselves are kinda mundane people living in this dystopic future world. I would say more about it but I'm not sure how to without giving a lot of it away.

Looks like a solid Bond flick in all the way you'd expect. I won't see in in theaters, but I'll catch it in my home when I can see it for less than $20.

Really hope they do something radical with the series post-Craig, though. Watching another supervillain with another plan to kill a bunch of people while the government tries to stop him still just feels very Cold War. I know we're all tired of Bond Going Rogue stories but surely they can look around at the political climate today and realize that a fresh version of a top government agent story has to do something different. There's a reason that Bourne resonated with people and it wasn't the shaky cam—it's that the government was explicitly the bad guys. The Mission Impossible movies have run into the same issue and done marginally better with it.

I mean, that's fine, nobody gives a poo poo about the British government. The bad guy in the Bourne movies is the CIA, part of an actual world power. Pitting Bond against that could let him remain loyal to England while also giving some justification of why the inevitable globe-trotting adventure is being done by some dude from a dreary little European island.

Quantum of Solace shows the CIA and British government being complicit or not giving a poo poo about the villain's plans, but nobody remembers Quantum of Solace.

This shit's about to go off.
I'm hoping that next year, when Covid is hopefully under control, and studios have no movies to release, they'll re-release some of these movies (like Bond) in theaters. It would seem to make sense since new production has been held up all year and there are a bunch of people who aren't going to theaters until poo poo is safe, as a way to double dip on the movies they released during Covid. But I don't really know poo poo about how studios think.

Yeah the crew cabin was reinforced and came out of the disintegration intact - it can be seen in pictures of the disaster:



There wasn't evidence the cabin depressurized during the disintegration and subsequent fall and at least some of the astronauts took actions after the cabin detached.

quote:

At least some of the crew were alive and at least briefly conscious after the breakup, as three of the four recovered Personal Egress Air Packs (PEAPs) on the flight deck were found to have been activated.[31] These were those of Judith Resnik, mission specialist Ellison Onizuka, and pilot Michael J. Smith.[32] The location of Smith's activation switch, on the back side of his seat, likely indicated that either Resnik or Onizuka activated it for him. Astronaut Mike Mullane wrote that "There had been nothing in our training concerning the activation of a PEAP in the event of an in-flight emergency. The fact that Judy or El had done so for Mike Smith made them heroic in my mind."[32] Investigators found their remaining unused air supply consistent with the expected consumption during the 2-minute-and-45-second post-breakup trajectory.

While analyzing the wreckage, investigators discovered that several electrical system switches on pilot Mike Smith's right-hand panel had been moved from their usual launch positions. Mike Mullane wrote, "These switches were protected with lever locks that required them to be pulled outward against a spring force before they could be moved to a new position." Later tests established that neither force of the explosion nor the impact with the ocean could have moved them, indicating that Smith made the switch changes, presumably in a futile attempt to restore electrical power to the cockpit after the crew cabin detached from the rest of the orbiter.[33]

I learned about them possibly surviving all the way to impact with the ground (almost 3 full minutes) a few years ago, and it's kind of stuck with me since. I don't know that I could watch that doc.

It's still a huge deal here in NH because of Christa McAuliffe obviously. We got taught about it pretty extensively even in like 2nd grade. Definitely one of those things that has never left me.
