    Margin Call

    ★★★

    Seen via other means - left on in the background during work.

    Previously, I've watched the same 10 minutes from this movie on YouTube a dozen times over the years. The rest holds up but those popular clips are definitely the best parts. A pretty barebones script elevated by the actors.

    ★★

    Seen with cousins on a 7 story IMAX screen. Caveat: fell asleep during the first arc, but didn’t miss much according to them.

Robert Pattinson, however, was outstanding.

    This gets a bizarre and existential LMAO from me. I know of Brendan from the Joe Rogan Experience and some of his encounters with Theo Von and Bryan Callen, but I'm not a regular viewer of his podcast(s) and otherwise not much of a fan other than just being interested in the Rogan-multiverse circle of friends and podcasts. I only knew about this special because it…
