Revenant

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

I saw the movie.
It's okay. I didn't think it was that special.
Normally when I leave a movie theater I'm jolted by the difference between the movie world and the blaring reality of the parking lot, but when I went to my car it was covered in snow.

...and I got raped by a bear before I could get into the car.
It's my fault though. My outfit suggested that I was asking for it.

P.S. If any of you know the bear please give him my number.

I was rather confused when the trailers for this came out. I've read a book on Hugh Glass where they had gathered the most reliable accounts of the various aspects of his life. So I see this trailer with the bear attack and think, "This is Hugh Glass".

But then he's talking about his son (which he never had IRL) and I'm thinking... not Hugh Glass.

So was planning on waiting for free TV for this one.

I'd recommend reading his story if you get the chance. Very Interesting.

Ditto.

Beautifully shot, but the story is very basic, predictable, and sloooooooooow.

But it's really pretty and the acting is good.

Oh, and apparently frostbite doesn't exist.

Goddam, Leo's nemesis was Tom fucking Hardy? I don't recognize that guy in anything I see him in. Good actor, I guess.
