    Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (Tomas Alfredson)

    [youtube]UTrMc4bRcu0[/youtube]

    Surely we can all get behind this one? Colin Firth, Gary Oldman, Mark Strong, Tom Hardy, John Hurt, Benedict Cumberbatch? From that dude who directed Let the Right One In?
    Sure why not?

    STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (Rian Johnson) - 9
    STRONGER (David Gordon Green) - 6
    THE DISASTER ARTIST (James Franco) - 7
    THE FLORIDA PROJECT (Sean Baker) - 9
    LADY BIRD (Greta Gerwig) - 8

    It's Danny Elfman's score to The Wolfman.

    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?

    Jen just posted the trailer on my FaceBook wall, and that was almost exactly what I said in response.

    With a cast like that (Oldman may be my favorite actor of his generation) and pedigree in both story and crew, this could easily be a sleeper hit...

    Yeah, looking forward to this one quite a lot. Didn't even mention probably my favorite actor in the film, Cirian Hinds.

    At first, I thought that was Bill Nighy there instead of Gary Oldman.

    He even sounds like him.
    Sure why not?

    I love him. He's so great.

    I still really need to see Persuasion.

    As long as it is better than the overrated Let the Right One In, I'm there. Always down for a good spy thriller.

    As long as it's as good as the about-right-rated Let the Right One In, I'm there. That said, I'm usually bored by spy thrillers.

    As long as it's superior to the solid but overrated remake Let Me In, I'm there. Maybe it's a spy thriller with a vampiric twist?

    Christ, now that's how you sell a spy thriller.
    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.’

    Great looking trailer. Curious how they're going to pull this off as a period piece. That seems tricky given the subject matter.
