@MajorRage Mrs Womble...who normally doesn't bother with too much she might consider trashy.....loves them all, we watched all 9 during lockdown over a few weeks, stupid mindless action made even funnier by the fact the first one is about stealing DVD players

Right. So. I just watched 9, fucking nine, Fast & the Furious movies over 9 nights.
I don't know why I hate myself so much, but I clearly do.
No review necessary, I assume.
We all know what these are.- Titwatch = zero
- lots of arse/camel-toe dancing to shit music at unbelievable underground race events
- Physics starts losing its power early on, but holy fuck - by #9 - physics has gone. Dead. Like - American Gods dead - Physics is fucked...up
- I'd forgotten Gadot was in this shit. Hot.
- Karma visited me by having the cunty little shits who actually look up to this shit - particularly virulent last weekend, at the place I'm staying. Really really fucking hard to consider Dom or Brian as heroes when their real-life counterparts are revving up shitty fucking shit cars at the beach carpark. Fuck... what an absolute shit make-believe "counter-culture".
- That was a terrible little experiment. Fuck you Fast and Furious. And thank you Google, for eventually making this available as something people might read when googling fast and the stupidly fucking furious.
Edit: I haven't watched the "spin-off" Hobbs and Shaw, or whatever the fuck it was called, as part of this masochism. I'm not sure I hate myself THAT much. But... considering it. Fuck... what a condemnation that is.
Sit back, relax, enjoy and don't worry about the physics.
Or where a whole bunch of trashy people managed to find the millions of dollars for their cars.
I only got into at 5. Then out of it around 8. Was a good period.
i admire them for knowing exactly what they are, and not giving a shit.
Hobbs and Shaw was cracking fun

Thanks for vindicating my decision to never watch one.
Sounds like franchise should be renamed Fake and Forgettable
The first one was entertaining. How an entire culture latched on to such unmitigated bullshit is worthy of a doctoral thesis. "double de-clutch on an upshift"

So you got into it at the Mission Impossible/spy team level and the out of it at the superhero level.
I'm a fan of decent popcorn entertainment, and the Fast Saga
did that pretty well from 5 up until the latest one. -

I’ll say one thing about Gerard Butler, he has fuck all range in terms of the characters he plays. He could do this kind of role in his sleep.
This flick is direct from the John Travolta/Liam Neeson/Nicholas Cage/Bruce Willis production line.
He is kinda cool in what he does though, I’ll give him that. Movie starts well but is just a jumbled, unconvincing load of shit by the end.

So I went and saw Avatar: the Way of the Maoris on the Water only because it was nominated for Best Picture and I see all the nominees.
Visually spectacular, but as for the rest, tosh. And it really didn't need to be so long, it was like he was sitting round with Peter Jackson in the Wairarapa and Jackson bet him he couldn't make as many endings as the final LOTR. Cameron just laughed and said hold my cruelty free organic beer.
Spoilers:
##spoiler
Where the fuck did all the Maoris go in the final battle? How did the American Indian family wind up being the only ones to be there at the end. Dumb ass writing. Water Cliff Curtis could have been in their swinging his taiaha helping to free the kids.There was no need to have Spider rescue the Colonel as they already have a download of him since Cameron is set on bringing everyone back.
Also, the family went from caring about Spider, to forgetting he existed, to caring, then forgetting, to caring, ... you get the point.
I hope the sequels don't get best picture nominations.

Hell Dogs on Netflix
Japanese movie about an ex-cop that goes undercover into the modern Yakuza. If you like your action movies to have a manga level of violence and don't mind some subtitles, this is well worth the couple of hours investment. Fast paced, well shot/ acted/ directed, it won't seem like two hours have passed by.

When they put "PURE . VIOLENCE" in english on the front-cover, when nearly everything else is Jap... I'm fucking sold.

I quite like an historical flick, particularly anything Viking or Roman and saw this one that had Colin Firth and Ben Kingsley as well as a veritable who’s who of future GOT actors. Iain Glen, James Cosmo, Jojen Reed etc etc.
Anyway it’s shit. It’s called The Last Legion and I cannot believe that I watched it to its pathetic, miserable end. No real plot, wooden acting, godawful dialogue, laughable love interest and no tits.
Avoid.

Ok so, if you've seen it...

Deacon is the killer, change my mind.

@Bones Was that the shitty Se7en rip-off, obviously a script written back in the 90s, and probably made as a vanity project for one/all of the lead actors - where at some point they're in the middle of the desert, digging holes - and for some reason the cop is doing the digging, with the "bad guy" chilling and smirking?
I can't remember much of it, other than that. But yeah - I think I briefly considered your theory, but then decided "who cares?" -
