Sam's Thread of Movie Lists and Chit Chat (w/Jake)

The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard is a sequel. I have seen the first and remember nothing about it. I'm going to say that the sequel is also forgettable trash, but in the moment I enjoyed it a great deal.

The Billie Eillish documentary is subtitled, and I had to look this up, The World's A Little Blurry. And even now, I think I might have it slightly wrong.

It's just that one where Vince Vaughn plays a serial killer and swaps bodies with a teenage girl - a rare example of me going to see a film based off the strength of a trailer - and then I'm locking down for a month so I don't give the surgeon covid-19. Maybe I'll watch Luca!

I don't have Disney Plus plus so I'll be seeing Soul and Luca on Christmas day 2025.

1. Freaky ★★★
2. In The Heights ★★★
3. First Cow ★★★
4. A Quiet Place Part II ★★
5. In The Earth ★★
6. Mortal Kombat ★★
7. Fast & Furious 9 ★★

I like the premise, I just don't think it quite delivers. Maybe I don't like movies anymore.

A better director would've done more with it but a better director wouldn't touch it. It was enjoyable enough.

I preferred Fast 9 to Black Widow.

Also clearly we will get Rock/Cena III at that point, and maybe Rock will bring Roman in too (he was in the spinoff).

Ironically, I made the time travel remark immediately after seeing F9.

I don't think the franchise has anything that novel left in it. Their remaining appeal to me is seeing how awkwardly they write around Paul Walker being dead.

The next step is making it into a teen friendly Crank.

I'm not normally precious about violence or swearing or full frontal nudity but don't say that!
