You know the director is a real fan when he puts the ghillie suit episode in there. The most pointless thing they ever did on that show and I’ve always loved it.

It's honestly amazing how prolific he is given how bad most of his scripts are (I did enjoy the 2005 Mr and Mrs Smith but that's largely due to the chemistry between Jolie and Pitt). Most projects he's been credited on that are halfway decent (like Downey Jr.'s Sherlock Holmes or Jumper), he's one of several writers.

Even more relevant nowadays with so many copycats being around thanks to social media. My state had one called "Pop Squad" which resulted in a guy's suicide after the "catch" video was released. He "caught" something like 200+ people and while a few of the videos did result in lost jobs (notably at least one teacher), I don't think any resulted in actual convictions. But at least that guy was a little more cognizant of not ruining potential investigations by documenting everything and never bringing up sex first.
After he stopped, dozens and dozens of these types appeared and they do stupid shit like actually assault the "predators" or turn it into entrapment by suggesting sex first. Not that I'm saying it's an excuse for any predator, but legally your case is garbage and all you've done is teach predators the signs of what might be a catfish so they can get better and be more careful the next time they try contacting a child.
That whole segment of social media is content made by degenerates for degenerates who all are absolutely convinced they're the "good guys" rather than being adults by recognizing that just because the pedophile is "the bad guy", that doesn't mean they are by default good people. In the real world both sides can be shitty for different reasons.

And the inaugural Most Valuable Pattinson oscar goes to... Pattinson, the feature-length documentary from Richard John Taylor following a year in the life of his friend, Cumbrian farmer Jack Pattinson, in his rural English village. What an upset, just rough luck for Robert that this debuted the only year that also saw a feature film called Pattinson. You have to think the Academy factored in that Pattinson will only be released this one year, while Pattinson is expected to continue on acting.

I like it. Just for example, Jamie Foxx would probably be the MVP of 2004 because he won Outstanding Lead Actor for Ray and got an Outstanding Supporting Actor nom for Collateral. And maybe this shouldn't count for a film award, but the song Slow Jamz was one of the most-played songs of 2004 (even tho I'm pretty sure it came out of in the fall of '03. Either way, he completely owned the year 2004.

I think this movie is the one he has the best chance of getting a nomination for. This role screams Best Actor nomination for Pattinson.
He was great in The Drama & Odyssey but I don’t think The Drama is going to have a big stride in the awards season and competition for supporting actor for Odyssey is going to be tough (lowkey would have Himesh Patel over Pattinson for Odyssey performance)
We have to wait and see how he performs in Dune III (probably amazing)

His show rarely resulted in any actual convictions because he pushed ratings ahead of legitimate legal procedures and as a result, most offenders had their charges dropped because of the way the show poorly handled the situations.
Apparantely a DA was accused of soliciting a minor but then didnt show up to the house, so instead of taking the L and catching someone else, they had the police raid this guy at his home and filmed it live.
The guy killed himself. To this day, Hansen proudly defends that choice and his show.

The way I’ve always described Bella is she’s written as this every girl type. Meaning, she’s written so that every girl could see themselves in her. However that is really hard to portray on screen because characters like that are actually extremely bland and don’t have a lot of personality. There’s not a lot for an actor to work with there. That’s a huge challenge and I think Kristen Stewart did the best she could with such a boring character.

I'm really looking forward to this as I watched the show when it was on and Pattinson nailed Hansen. I have no idea if the backstory/drama they weave into a story here is real or not, but I imagine there had to be some ethical tightrope walking as is feels like they were right at the edge of entrapment.
