    Contagion (Soderbergh)

    An action-thriller centered on the threat posed by a deadly disease and an international team of doctors contracted by the CDC to deal with the outbreak
    starring...

    Matt Damon
    Gwyneth Paltrow
    Marion Cotillard
    Jude Law
    John Hawkes
    Laurence Fishburne
    Bryan Cranston
    Sanaa Lathan

    I'm a sucker for these kinds of movies (and also Soderbergh, to an extent) so I'm pretty much already in the bag for this one. Comes out October 21st

    Somehow that premise sounds like it doesn't quite go together with the name Soderbergh, but I ain't complaining. Still think Traffic is the man's best work so I'd love to see him return to an established genre rather than going oddball & quirky on us although I guess Ché was anything but.

    So since there's little else to discuss at the moment, I just wanna say that Petersen's 1995 Outbreak is pretty damn exciting.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    No, he wasn't.

    Soderbergh's other film releasing this year, Haywire (written by Lem Dobbs, same writer as The Limey, Soderbergh's masterpiece) interests me far more than this film.

    Doubt that Damon was in Outbreak. Perhaps as a bit player since he certainly wasn't known then, two years before Good Will Hunting.

    He wasn't. Duke must be thinking of Cuba Gooding Jr.

    You guys need to go back and watch the movie. Look at Donald Sutherland's helicopter pilot.

    He's uncredited for some reason.

    Still think Haywire looks far more appealing than this film, but it has been moved back to January now. Ugh.

    That's probably the most Oscar-touting I've ever seen on a poster. It's kind of impressive.
    Last 11 things I really enjoyed:

    Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
    Safe (Haynes, 1995)
    South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
    Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
    Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
    What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
    Diva (Beineix, 1981)
    Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
    The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
    Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
    Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)

    Nice. Soderbergh is gonna be at Comic-Con for this.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    That trailer has a huge and totally unnecessary spoiler.

    Otherwise, I guess it looks cool.
