OT: The Movie Thread

[Hollywood Cannon]

Holy shit, I can’t believe I come into a Movie Thread and it’s pages of F&F talk. I’m so mad right now.

It’s more of a discussion about family then F&F... one could say F&F stands for Friends and Family.

Justin Lin, who made Tokyo Drift, Fast and Furious, and Fast Five also made Fast and Furious 6, and F9; and is making 10 part 1, and 10 part 2.

He was the director, not writer.

I was just about to make this same comment lol

You mean Chris Morgan, who wrote 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, and is writing 10 and 10 part 2?

Yeah, he managed to hold on and ride the coattails of the original to finish off that storyline. Then the second they had to create something new after the 5th one wrapped everything up, it became Mission Impossible in cars.

You’ll notice 4 and 5 are the weakest of the canon movies in the ranking.

I only posted the ranking. Blame these three who don’t understand high quality cinema.

This sounds like someone explaining how the terrible Flyers team Briere will ice in 2028 is actually the fault of Hextall

It's the opposite. Started great, got worse as time went on, then completely fell off a cliff at one point and became unwatchable shit. That's on the guys who came later, not the one at the start.

 

[ajgoal]

Which should I watch first? 47 Ronin Part I or Part II?

So like the Flyers will be in 2028

Sir this is a Movie thread.

2028? The Flyers are already unwatchable shit.

I blame the guys currently in charge, in both cases.

 

[The Rage Kage]

Not being able to go to the movies has been such a loss from the pandemic. Saw 10 movies in theatres in 2019 but have only seen 2 since. Even at a home theatre its just not the same.

 

[Rebels57]

Just finished Spielberg's West Side Story. Not my favorite musical but he did a good job adapting the source material. He is still a master of his craft. Cast was the weakest part of it for me.

This is a Flyers free zone sir.

Also Beefs fault.

 

[ajgoal]

Also Beefs fault.

Maybe we should roast him like @trostol suggested.

Had a daughter about 2 weeks ago. Girlfriend decides we should watch CODA. Both of us were puddles for like an hour. Good times haha.

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

@Appleyard your recent return and this thread reminded me that I watched the Going Postal mini-series a month or two back. It was quite good, although it didn't quite hit the high notes that Hogfather did.

That being said, this scene may have awakened something inside of me that I didn't know existed.

That's one thing that I can certainly say changed with me having a kid. Anything involving kids in TV shows or movies hit entirely differently.

Right? Before kids it was “nothing better happen to that dog”, after kids “nothing better happen to the kids and the dog”

My problem is the "why" factor. Why did a director of his stature do this? Why is this necessary? I don't normally ask if a film is necessary, but a remake usually begs that question. It's not like he's surpassed the original.

If Spielberg is planning a massive career shift to start doing musicals then that would be interesting, but hopefully it would be original content going forward.
