We don't need to anticipate "Geostorm" because it is already unleashed.

'For too long, we've been the underdog in the fight against nature's whims. But no more. Today, the unrivaled champion will face the technological upstart which will decisively end this reign of terror. Ladies and gentlemen, we present...The Challenger!'

ok lol i just watched this

it is flawless

i remember it being really dull and stupid, and evidently saving money by having as little to do with onscreen geostorms as possible. also a subplot with zazie beetz that was just straight up dropped completely. the climax was like dodging lightning bolts on the freeway median in orlando right? we def had fun making fun of it but if it were even 5-10 minutes longer it might have been impossible.

yes yr spirits lift a lot when zazie starts drly mocking the younger terrible main guy but the euphoria doesnt last

its abt the details tho: "abbie cornish (born 1982), also known by her rap name DUSK"

also tbf abt taking a drink whenever someone says DUTCHBOY

in this context it is colossally stupid but not at all dull

Ooh, I share a birthday with Abbie Cornish. I may have to see this now. (For the same reason, I'm duty bound to buy all Kristin Hersh's records, watch/listen to all of Alexei Sayle's output and, er, stockpile 16mm footage of Abebe Bikila's greatest distance runs).

zazie beetz

Sounds like a phrase young people use when describing a disc of 'pop music' they have enjoyed to one of their chums.

she is named after the film of the book by raymond queneau so shes good not bad

Where did you see this? I'd have watched it. Still never seen Gerard Butler in anything. As I'm sure I've mentioned before, he's from the same part of Paisley as me, but I don't know his family at all - my mother probably did - and I always look out for anyone from Paisley, to see how they're doing. Apart from Tom Conti. he's a dick. And Andrew Neil.

it’s on netflix now iirc

that's how i saw it yes

The people in the space station make an excellent joke about how much older than expected Gerard Butler looks but don't stop short at saying that it's because he looks like a fat alcoholic rather than an astonaut.

LOLed anew at this.

another key catchphrase in this good and important film is "the president IS the killcodes"

said more than once

This was on last week and I didn't watch it. What was I thinking?

Also, Gerard Butler was in some modern dress film version of "Macbeth" I saw about 5 minutes of? WTF? Some Kenneth Branagh thing maybe?

... no, it was "Coriolanus", directed by Ralph Fiennes.
