A good Hitman movie would be a reverse John Wick where you don't show the John Wick parts. It's a mob family or crime group desperately trying to figure out who's killing them one by one. Cast someone recognizable as 47 and have him in the background of every other scene disguised.

Movie ends with 47 revealing himself to the boss a la Vince McMahon. Then you have your big action explosion fest.

That actually sounds absolutely brilliant. It would be like a wheres wally slasher flick with wally as the killer.

I really want to watch that now.

Funny that you say that, this topic came up in conversation a few weeks ago, and we reached pretty much the same conclusion. And then realized that it's basically just a Final Destination movie with a contract killer.

Which I'm totally down for, but I don't mind me some b-movie shlock.

47 is such a non-character anyway so doing a movie from the victims' perspective seems like it would be the best way to go.

Kill a man with an exploding Bible.

Kill an entire hot tub by shooting the glass bottom. Because underneath the tub is a cliff.

Tranquilize an entire suburb with an air rifle. After knocking out FBI agents with drugged donuts. While wearing a clown costume.

These are the things I want to see in a Hitman movie.

Swapping a prop gun with a real one at an opera house so the climax of the play ends with the target being unwittingly murdered by his co-star.

Knocking out a luchador and stealing his costume so you can kill Danny Trejo in the ring with your bare hands.

Killing a man in a crowd during Chinese New Year and nobody noticing because they're too occupied watching fireworks.

Stealing a nuclear bomb from a terrorist base and walking out with it since everybody's too scared of setting it off to risk shooting you.

Yeah, I love Timothy Oliphant, but he is not...he is not good at being bald.

Also I feel like whoever they get to play Hitman shouldn't actually be that good of an actor, if that makes sense. Like when nerds are doing fantasy casting for a comic book thing and they just shove some random wrestler in because he looks the most like < superhero character>? That might actually work in this case.

It bothers me that they put by Schulz on all of these even though Charles died 15 years ago, and it's his dumb talentless kids making this movie. Not that Peanuts is highbrow literary stuff, but he did create it and keep it going for decades.

You know I take back what I said. For some reason I thought he signed his full name on his strips, but he didn't and you're probably exactly correct. I did like that the animation looks like something different and I've got a kid so I'll be seeing someday regardless. Blue Sky doesn't have the strongest track record though. The Ice Ages were dumb, Rios were both awful, Robots, Epic, & Horton Hears a Who were just OK.

You know in-motion I actually quite like how the movie looks; it has some nice visuals for flair and breaks form quite a lot but there are tons of shots that make it look like really ncely done stills from the comics.

Transporter 2 had a scene where a hobo looks at something in utter disbelief and then throws away his paper bag-wrapped liquor bottle which, one can only assume, had XXX written on the front of it. Also: Kate Nauta.

Transporter 2 is the best.
