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

[Fire Marshall Bill]

When watching the trailer I kept thinking these fucking magnets how do they work?

And I'm just waiting for Fast 10 when they time travel, and Fast 11 when they outrun the universe folding in on itself.

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!

The Suicide Squad is a surprisingly fun movie. They tried to replace Will Smith with Idris Elba, but John Cena stole the show. Margot Robbie did exactly what was as expected as Harley Quinn which is not a bad thing. The whole thing seems as if it?s a DC Legends of Tomorrow episode due to the final battle. But other than that it is very rated R, including very brief nudity. They decided to feature some minor characters that works for the plot. Stay for the end of credits.

Much better movie than the original.

It was fun but it went on a bit.

I watched The Old Guard a few weeks ago and it came across like a subpar version of Highlander. There was stuff I felt they could have done which would have made it more exciting.

Watched Extraction yesterday. It was fine but felt like something I'd seen before ala a Bourne movie. I still feel Bad Times At The El Royale is one of Chris Hemsworth's best performances

[Y 2 Jake]

Chris Hemsworth has never been better than in later Marvel films.

Censor didn't come together for me.
