Movies (and occasionally face slaps) (Part 1)

No no that’s my fault for name dropping F&F. This is the anti F&F. Watch that opera scene and you’ll get it.

The action scenes are so incredibly inventive and often do what you don’t expect so as to make them grounded and dramatic beyond popcorn butter bubbles.

Idk why they aren’t advertising it but you can watch the first four movies for free on Pluto.

That Metallica song sucks.

By Metallica standards at least

I’m sorry about naming F&F. I just use it as an example of a franchise that reinvented itself for the better and shouldn’t be compared to it’s worst earliest offerings. It’s otherwise a totally different experience for different audiences.

I hear you. I’m a fan of them until the Load era and didn’t enjoy their music past the Garage stuff, so for me this was like their last hurrah.

Nice; thanks. Maybe I’ll watch it sooner then.

I feel like Rebecca Ferguson’s shooting stance in that scene is the sexiest shooting stance there is.

There was a time when Nic Cage took any role to make money. Now he’s in the “my debt has been paid and now I only make bangers” stage of his career:

There is so much unnecesary fucking slo mo in that movie.

Not to mention the “I just met you and now am desperately, helplessly in love with you” plotline.

And oh yeah, the main love interest being dropped off by helicopter in Syndney and then WALKING TO THE COASTAL CLIFFS somehow faster than two people on motorcycles.

This initially made me wonder whether “necessary slo-mo” is a thing. Don’t worry; it didn’t take me long to arrive at an answer.

I don’t want to imagine how jarring it would be to watch that scene with Kujan’s mug drop just happening at normal speed.

Patience, my friend. The good shit is still in production. :heart_eyes:

hard disagree that this is a thing (at least in a John Woo movie), but yeah if you don’t like the style the movie doesn’t have much else to offer…

Another unattended vault with lasers and multiple crazy high-tech security gizmo protections. Wouldn’t it be a lot cheaper to just hire a few guards to sit in the vault in rotating shifts?

Oh now she sits so close she’s literally touching the guy in a crowded cafeteria and he doesn’t think that’s weird? A CIA guy?
