I finally watched Contagion after hearing about it since Covid. It's eerie how many things they got right about a global pandemic: the blogger with his BS treatment, vilifying the head of the CDC... The list goes on.
I also watched the Deathstalker remake. It was okay, but that was to be expected.
I tried towards or slightly after the end of the pandemic and I just couldn't take it, gave up after 10 minutes. Not because it's a bad movie (I still don't know) but because all that crap was still way too fresh in my mind.
I definitely felt the trauma of that time coming back and felt like crying at the end just due to the release of it all.
