He did warn us that if he got snubbed for an oscar he's make a horrible film. Thanks Netflix, I hate it. TBF he fuckin' deserved a nomination if not a win. Don't know why they snubbed him but the oscars are a weird hollywood circlejerk anyway

I haven't seen the last couple of films but I don't even really understand what the Fast and Furious movies are about anymore. Like the first couple of ones were about undercover cops who had to pose as drag racers and getaway drivers but I think the last one I saw they were like international bank robbers being blackmailed by Jason Statham who had faked some of their deaths and The Rock was Interpol or something chasing them down? Or something? And now the two of them are teaming up in a spinoff to fight a super powered Idris Elba? And are they like international spies or secret agents now or something? Is all of this because Dom liked to race cars and had questionable morals? I said I was watching the Mission Impossible films because by serendipity I noticed they were all streaming on services I had. This piqued my curiosity and turns out all the F&F movies are too. I actually started up the first one and its so aggressively loud. I haven't finished the MI ones yet but I guess I'm just picking really dumb and loud action franchises to watch in the background. I'm trying not to look at that Transformers set someone gifted me a few years ago. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Feb 1, 2020 |

The newer Fast & Furious movies are basically powerless superhero action movies. They’re aggressively stupid but I think they kinda know it? The ones directed by Justin Lin are actually pretty fun.

Yeah it’s obvious from trailers they’re just kind of super hero or bond movies now. I just have no idea how a bunch of dumb drag racers and petty thieves got there.

Because now its just another generic hollywood action series that just sometimes has cars in it.

Because his acting in that movie isn't really anything special, it was just good casting to have him play the same exact type of selfish neurotic he plays in his comedies in a different setting that doesn't constantly reward and ultimately redeem it. Also the people who whine loudest about how the oscars are just a circlejerk that don't matter are without fail the ones who spend the most time complaining about nominations, almost like they just have sour grapes that their personal preferences aren't being validated or something.

Rageaholic posted:The last Die Hard was poo poo, that doesn't count haha If Die Hard is in the title of a movie, and it doesn’t either stop there or contain the phrase “with a vengeance” it’s poo poo. I miss when it was a trilogy and 2 was the kind of boring one in the middle of two better movies, instead of 1 and 3 being the only good ones in a zombie franchise.

I hate to be the one to tell you all, but one of the biggest factors in making it into the historical canon is the size of a body of work from an artist. When people think about the end of the 20th/beginning of the 21st century in five hundred years they'll remember Nicholas Cage and Adam Sandler... precision posted:None of the Fast movies will ever live up to the amazing, ridiculous, bombast fest that is Con Air, the greatest action movie wow look at this guy who has never seen the rock

I keep meaning to watch the ones in the middle but I watched the first, couldn't get over how goofy and dated it was. I haven't been able to watch the rest. But I have no idea how they made it so they went from street car racers/thieves to loving special agents that know kung fu and poo poo.

I don't know how much of a hot take this is but I always kind of liked 2 Fast 2 Furious even though everyone hated it. I kind of chalked that up to how much of a fan I was of John Singleton (RIP) but I know I watched it casually a bunch of times the way you do dumb action films. Having watched the original last night and 2F2F today I kind of stand by that and think it aged a lot better than the original. The first is just kind of loud and obnoxious and overbearing. There's always people yelling or bad music or poo poo happening and it exhausted me. The second isn't really a good movie but its a way slicker, easier film. Crazily pretty people, crazily pretty cars, crazily pretty Miami, simple paper thin plot. It just sort of held together more for me while the first just felt like a bit of an abrasive mess. But looking at Rob Cohen's filmography that seems like his expertise. Also these films really are an interesting time capsule of the early 2000s. I forgot Devon Aoki existed.

2F gave us two great characters so there's that at least. I'm still shocked they haven't mined it and brought Cole Hauser back.

Continuing a watchthrough of Reno 911 and, for those who saw it, was anybody else disappointed at the payoff of the Leslie/Dangle/Garcia love triangle cliffhanger at the end of S4/start of S5? I would've been pissed if I had to wait a year for them to pay that off by going SIKE, GAY MARRIAGE IS ILLEGAL HERE, YOU'RE GOIN' TO JAIL!, though Dangle's "Through the lawyers" comment when Garcia talks to him in the first briefing is fun. That subplot continuing would've been a good time.

Reno 911 got really weird in later seasons, but never dipped in quality. It might be one of the most consistently hilarious shows ever

Cyrus "The Virus"  Don't forget the incomprehensible ball numbing action of the climax, where freeways and structures just appear as needed with no ties to reality In retrospect, Suicide Squad was trying to be the next Con Air, and failed

It might be one of the most consistently hilarious shows ever That's the first thing in the entire run which I've found lame (so far) and that's only because a camera crew following happily-partnered Leslie and Dangle's personal lives could've been a lot of fun with the two actors playing it up with stuff like trailer redecoration. I get the feeling Dave Holmes is probably underappreciated in the legacy of the show.

My friend's mom had a job as a video distributor for zellers or walmart or some big retail chain and she got giant palettes of movies a month or so before they'd be on shelves in my friends garage, and she like personally stocked stores with new VHS tapes. its a bizarre job now that i think about it but i swear thats what she did one day my friend calls me over and hes got this plastic wrapped copy of Con Air and it was only in theaters like 3 or 4 months ago  we watched that movie at least 10 times in a month, eventually just fast forwarding to the end bit
