I didn't see it because the trailer gave me a headache. And it looked like shite.

Don't necessarily disagree with him winning, but it's disappointing that his performance is the best of the year.

The mortality rate is like 10 times that of the flu.

Which is very bad, yes. But only like one-third as bad as SARS, and one-tenth as bad as MERS. Also, that death rate is for people in China. Hopefully we can fare slightly better.

Except, um, this virus is not very deadly [so far].

SARS killed 1 in 10 people infected; MERS 1 in 3. Wuhan is killing about 1 in 30 people infected, mainly old people or people with other health issues.

One of the best linebackers of recent years. Good for him, retiring on his own terms. But Sundays won’t quite be the same without him.

Also. Sorry, but that movie is FAR from great. I even watched it twice to try to change my mind - nope, it's trash. I don't care who directed.

Posted by Patrick_Bateman on 1/13/20 at 3:23 pm

First of all, that was a good, thoughtful post. But your comments about 2012? Way different than mine. There were TONS of good movies that year. I think 2012 would probably be my favorite year, from memory at least.

quote:
2012 - LOOPER and AVENGERS headline the year. I'm a fan of LINCOLN even if no one else is. It's not a bad year, but it didn't have much which spoke to me.

Zero Dark Thirty is one of the best movies of the decade IMO, definitely my favorite of that year. Argo, Silver Linings Playbook, End of Watch [great IMO], The Master [not my personal favorite, but highly regarded], Beasts of the Southern Wild, Moonrise Kingdom, Skyfall, Django Unchained [overrated, but liked by many], Lawless, Flight, Dark Knight Rises, Life of Pi, Prometheus, Cloud Atlas, Killing Them Softly, Amour.

And that's just from a Google search, picking out the ones I've seen.
