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

[Y 2 Jake]

I'll never remember the number of this one but it will now become known to me as the Cena one. And I hate Cena, so I'm not excited.

My sincere opinion is that Fast Five is below perhaps only Fury Road - off the top of my head - in terms of twenty-first century action classics. The rest are varying degrees of enjoyable garbage. But, in order of importance, 9 has 1) John Cena, 2) magnets and 3) Justin Lin, so I'm optimistic this'll be on the upper end.

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).

Don't quote the Fast and Furious lore to me, witch. I was there when it was written. But it goes with out saying we're all looking forward to Cena/Vin vs. Rock/Reigns.

1. In The Heights ★★★
2. First Cow ★★★
3. A Quiet Place Part II ★★
4. In The Earth ★★
5. Mortal Kombat ★★

I enjoyed two, maybe three of the songs. A vintage year.

[Y 2 Jake]

Currently sat in the car park of the cinema before going to see In The Heights. Contemplating driving home.

[Y 2 Jake]

Should've followed my gut.

I haven't seen F9 yet but I want The Rock to come back and him and John Cena have a wrestling match with cars

[Y 2 Jake]

I've seen it and the next logical step is a zeppelin fight.

[Uncle Sam]

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

It's hard to explain why I resent this movie so much. I think because it's simultaneously raised the stakes so high (this is at least the second movie in which they're trying to prevent a nuclear holocaust?) while removing any actual sense of tension (no, I don't think it's charming that the characters point it out). I did, however, like some of the bits with magnets. Oh, and I'm entirely here for early noughties nostalgia; I reckon it's the next big thing.

That's a lot when I write it down.

There are some very generous 4 stars there.

Dogtanian was so shit I didn't tell the father of a family of ten to sit down when he stood up whilst be put his kids in seats an hour into the film.

Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard is a sequel no? Is it the type where you need to see the first one first? Never saw it but want to see the new one.

Also, please tell me the actual title of the Billie Eillish doc is actually "Billie Eillish: The Documentary On Her I Saw"
