I saw Contagion and, surprise surprise, it actually wasn't totally a piece of shit! There is actually nothing I love more than a good disaster film (unless it's a disaster film where stuff blows up), so I was already predisposed to like it. ( The birds have already weaponized bird flu. )

FOR POSTERITY!!!!!!!!!

hahahahaha dying at everything. i love when people fall down the rabbit hole.

But! Contagion! Yeah! Surprisingly pretty legit! I thoroughly enjoyed it, but, like, spent the entire end of the movie waiting for the other shoe to drop? Like, for the vaccine not to work or for the virus to mutate some more, or idk. The vaccine shit was the weak link for me, lol. OK, I'M JUST GOING TO PUMP SOME MONKEY BLOOD IN ME AND VISIT MY DYING FATHER. OR LOOK, STILL BREATHING! IT'S ALL GOOD, MAN! But really, that was my only qualm. Otherwise I really liked it, and I agree -- I thought it was well-done in terms of realism and just how Soderbergh shot the movie.

Omg the whole vaccination thing was ABSURD. Like, TRIAL POPULATION OF ONE = SUCCESS! I actually enjoyed that there wasn't anything like "The super virus has a BRAAAAAAAAIN," or something equally ridiculous. I REALLY liked the lingering shots on everything that people touched and the sort of dream-like qualities in the lab when they're doing the vaccines (because it looked like SPAAAAAAAACE) and the tense waiting as people waited for the vaccine.

Stop judging me!!!!
