Better headline than Mark's yesterday.

Based on yesterday's reading comprehension I assume the lot of you are currently of the belief actor Robert Pattinson died more than once this evening?

@McMurdo - Worst. Death. Everrrrrr.

@McMurdo - The headlline from yesterday didn't say that the actor died, but that doesn't mean that it was worded in the best way. If someone takes a quick glance at it is understandable why there was confusion. But even if it was crystal clear to you, why you have this need to be an asshole about it?

That voice from Pattinson was not what I expected (though it make me wonder why his multiple has a gruffer one?) lol.

Seems decent though not entirely perhaps my cup of tea since while the setting is sci-fi , it’s leaning more absurdist & satirical it seems…

It does seem to have Bong Joon-Ho’s fingerprints all over since it’s mixing genres , has black/dark humor , sudden tonal shifts aswell as social and/or class themes aswell.

Anyway , great cast too!!.

@tylerzero - 1st thing that came to mind. But this one does look quite interesting. Might be a sleeper hit as January is usually death at the BO.

@Conquistador - Director Bong has a built in audience, as does Robert Pattinson. It'll do well enough.

Pattinson has become my kind of actor. He really tries to be a different person in every movie he does, especially with his voice. If you've never seen him in interviews you would never know which is his real voice.

@valmic - I am starting to feel the same. He is definitely an underrated actor. I actually really like his voice/accent he is using in this one too. Looks like a wild and fun movie.

Am I the only one who thinks the title for this movie is horrible? Trailer looks great, but the title doesn't live up to it. Just a nitpick, hoping it lives up to the trailer.

@EgoEgor - I've always thought it might be a play on the old Warren Beaty film Micky One, but that's probably a stretch.
