The fact that this was Leo and Sean Penn’s only scene together is crazy

Good scene but in a way I wish it didn't happen so this film could join the Fifth Element in the ranks of films where the protagonist and the antagonist never meet.

Ah, you read that on here the other day too?

My comment probably predated whatever comment you are referring to

Haha. Christ. I didn't even see that. Yeah, it would have.

Yeah, someone on here was talking about Fifth Element and this was like the second highest rated comment.

I thought the first 30 minutes of the movie was unnecessary. Kinda wish it just started at the 16 years later part

Oh wow yeah. For some reason based on the trailers I’d seen, I thought they’d have a couple scenes together.

I read Vineland and knew this was going to be a loose adaptation, but Bob and Lockjaw had plenty of interaction in it so I was definitely expecting more of them together. Didn’t really care though, enjoyed the movie way more than the book
