I finally watched "Contagion". What a great movie but a serious bone to pick... *spoilers*

Just a really great ensemble movie done by Stephen Sodenbergh. Amazing casting and really made you feel like 'this would be reality should a serious BSL4 virus got loose into society'.

My issue is this. As the virus took a serious hold into society, those not infected opted to stay at home. Yet months after the virus got out there and society was crumbling around everyone, there managed to still be power and cell phones. Maybe it's me but that didn't seem to realistic. I would think if everything was going to shit and people were staying away that eventually we would lose power and cell phone connection.

Maybe I'm just not that big of a technology geek but that's my beef.

Plus, has Jude Law always have a set of bad teeth or was he wearing fake teeth - his smile was disturbing in that movie.

I wasn't that impressed. I thought it started out good but then tanked. I think Jude Law has bad teeth. I finally watched "Friends With Benefits" which kept me entertained until the SNL finale. I'm running out of things to watch on my DVR---obviously.
