I thought f8 was better than 7 at least, maybe 6 too, because it fully embraced "big budget soap opera, with car fights". Also drat that zombie car bit was really inventive.

But if they want to make a Rock/statham transporter-esque movie I am totally down.

There's some whole thing with Kim Cattrall supposedly tanking a SitC3 by demanding the studio produce some unrelated project of hers and the studio not wanting to do it. Also apparently her and Sarah Jessica Parker would only interact when the cameras were rolling on the second movie.

Kim Catrall is the only one who ever had a real career so i'd give her the benefit of the doubt

I SAID WE'RE NOT GONNA BE FUCKING SUCK THIS YEAR!!!

It's maybe not the worst thing ever that it's getting delayed after the haphazard mess that was 8. I really enjoyed it the first time, but its place in the pantheon slips just about each time I revisit it (only been like twice which also speaks to it's status).

I have no strong opinions one way or the other about a Hobbs/Shaw spin off. I hope that it is at least entertaining but their scenes in 8 had some real split personalities about them.

well why not

What? Better than 6? You so crazy.

6 is the high point of the series and it's really unlikely to be topped at this point. It was the last time the enormous cast felt semi-organic and has the two best action scenes and the best fight scene in the series.

I still say all of Fast n Furious is obviously Vin Diesel's homebrew D20 Modern tabletop RPG. It's a silly explanation that fits too well when you drill into it.

As for the Rock/Family beef, eh. If Rock had faked being a really cool, chill, fan friendly guy all these years he'd be a better actor on screen. It seems like the tertiary members of the family are upset because they've got diminished time in the light, not through anything overtly Rock's fault but rather their roles in the family were made for what is admittedly a different franchise.

It's Car Superheroes now.

And it sucked and felt like a USA original TV show.

However, the series just doesn't work as well without Paul Walker (and Jordana Brewster). You need a few boring, kinda dorky characters to go "whoa!" when the crazy stuff happens. Tej and Roman could sort of work here, but they don't have the screen presence or charisma of Paul Walker so they shrink into the background when The Rock, Statham, or Diesel are on screen.

So now instead of the "regular guy" being mixed up in this wacky world, you just have Vin Diesel and The Rock doing (and saying) insane stuff like it's just another Tuesday and it's diminished somehow.

Well obviously. He was a high level Tuner Bard but since he was created whole cloth at level 30 he doesn't have the rich backstory and journey of the hero that Paul Walker's original Tuner Bard had.

Pretty sure you can even see him start to smile when he starts walking away.

A Statham/Johnson spin off sounds remarkably unnecessary and I will still see it opening night anyway.

Diesel vs The Rock (not the Kevin Nash Diesel) didn't happen at WrestleMania, so they've moved onto the Tyrese vs The Rock at Survivor Series feud.

By the way I recommend the movie Young and Dangerous (1996), from HK, which had a bunch of sequels too. Good fun crime action/soap opera/family. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116456/

I can never quite get my head around how long production/post production takes for movies in general. If you read the Disaster Artist (which is a really good read) he mentions working on Patch Adams in a small role, and then, ages later, the movie actually comes out. And it's not like Patch Adams would have a shitload of special effects and such forth.

According to one of VD's facebook posts, they never stop working on FF movies. He's posted twice this October about it. Once, he was filming in NYC in his Toretto uniform, and once they were having the weekly Saturday night brainstorming meeting with the cast. All those car chases are half CGI, these days, so they have to film way ahead of time.


I follow a couple movie stars to keep up on release dates and stuff. It gives me a break from the glurge my friends post.
