Just got out. Really fun / interesting movie. Pattinson is incredible and I think everyone else does really well to sell their characters and the era


The 2006 era motifs of it all are incredible. Lot of blend of media and culture at that time that was done well.


I think it struggles to find its overall point thematically but it’s a very enthralling movie to watch. With a lot of dark humor and a twinge of psychological horror, it’s doing a lot and pulling it off.

Just got out of the movie as well, and this was my main take away. Not sure what the movie really wanted to say about anything. Overall I was pretty let down. Pattinson was fun to watch, but that was about it.

I love all the little easter eggs in the preview clips. The podium from the NJ episode, the guy on his knees is supposed to be the Army guy who fled to Puerto Rico on the GA episode, the ghillie suit cop from the Ft Myers, FL episode, etc.

Also one of the biggest crybaby preds he caught (this one was on Takedown and not TCAP) just got life without parole in Florida last month. He was a TSA agent who probably "patted down" a ton of kids. He went to trial instead of a taking a 15 year plea deal.

Florida.

What was interesting to see was that pretty much every thing in the previews and that has been memed like crazy leading up to this, all happens in the first 5-10 minutes of the movie, so doesn’t feel like any of that gave anything away for the movie overall

It would be similar to him going out to the parking lot and getting into a police marked Ferrari and going on patrol.

In 1985 I was on a business trip to Holland. Flew into Amsterdam and had to drive to Den Haag. It was at night, and was raining.

Along the way I passed their version of the highway patrol. Two guys sitting on the shoulder inside a convertible white Porsche 911 with the top off. They were wearing orange rain coats.

It’s exactly the vibe being put out here.

It’s a 3rd rail topic & apparently the only way it can be handled is to make Hanson et al look like monsters themselves.


And I agree with the voice coming off forced. Chris speaks more casual, relaxed, but direct. I don’t know what this was.

Saw some clips this morning that Chris Hansen hated it. Said it was 98% fiction and graded Pattinson’s performance a D.

Probably still going to see it because it looks good but will just have to view it as fiction. But not a great look if Hansen hated it.

That’s beyond a bit goofy…and it’s not a stereotype if it’s always true.

I really enjoyed it. I am a big fan of A24 films and the stories/adaptations that they tell.

Eh. The guy is using this to drum up support for his side projects. Better for clicks to push against it. Kinda par for course honestly.

Doesn't surprise me that a studio made some questionable decisions when pursuing ratings. Paying $150,000 a pop to Perverted Justice to lure the predators and then going to the DA's house who no showed at the trap house and ended up killing himself raises questions about NBC's ethics. The allegations were that Dateline pressured the police to raid his house with the cameras in tow. Too bad that suit settled out of court. The have a seat over hear meme is pretty funny though.
