Back to the Past with Gerard Butler

My brother was telling me that he’d recently watched a great romantic comedy with Gerard Butler, which intrigued me because he generally delves into that genre far less than I do. He told me the name of it, and I asked if that was the one where the poster has a woman with a chocolate box and Gerard Butler with a chocolate box over his crotch. He said that wasn’t it, and then I got to wondering what the name of that movie was. I looked it up and discovered it was “The Ugly Truth”, but then I looked further down the man’s filmography and found some captivating stuff. Like this movie called “Timeline” that was meant to be a vehicle for Paul Walker in the immediate wake of the first Fast and the Furious movie. It’s about an archaeological team that goes back to medieval France on a quest to rescue their professor. How could I turn that down? Even my brother couldn’t. Worthwhile watch.

Bonus Question!

Best medieval time travel film with French stuff?

“Just Visiting” with Jean Reno, which was apparently a remake of a French film Jean Reno did a few years earlier.

COVID: The Movie!

This whole pandemic situation is feeling like an interesting movie that’s just too long for my liking. I want to see what happens, but I also really want to get out of here soon.

Things are going to happen after this! The world will be different! How? In what way? How will those differences feel? To different people? In different areas? Handshakes might be gone, but a lot of places never did that anyway. And which changes will last? Which ones will go the way of “Freedom Fries”?

There’s a lot to be curious about, and there’s also a lot of normal stuff to get back to besides.

But it already feels too long, and the world might run out of popcorn.

Bonus Question!

Best popcorn flavour?

Butter and salt, baby.
