They need to drop the Mr Plinkett framing show around HitB, Mike is sick of it.

To be fair for a while now it's felt like those skits were token/improvised or just something they found amusing at the moment, half of the HitB's had the barest token acknowledgement to it or blatantly none at all. That one ep where they just do a bunch of off the cuff improvising and edited the good stuff I would be 100% cool with if that's how they presented things going forward. poo poo's hilarious.

A studio should film a one minute none-related intro where two women meet, establish that they have names, and talk about what they're going to eat for lunch. Film it again and again with appropriate wardrobe and stick it as the first minute of every movie they make from now on. They leave in opposite directions, the bechdel test having been satisfied, and iron man or whoever the movie is really about slams into the street where they parted as the inciting action to start the movie. They'll have stan lee cameos in the 2nd act where they're standing around, holding the food they said they were going to eat, but otherwise never return to the story.

Just be as petty and hamfisted with it as possible to dilute the whole exercise.

It's called sex and the city the movie or just sex and the city.

John Wick Two owns so hard it's going to be my heavy favourite of the year.

Can we talk about John Wick because the current discussion is like, bad.

What is wrong with you? Keanu owns and is a far better actor than you think.

I phrased that wrong.

Don't get me wrong, I love keanu, he's great at what he does and the Matrix is in my top 5 films ever but his delivery is realllly bad. I think he's at his best when he's doing physical acting which is why the opening fifteen minutes of JW2 are so good, there's barely any dialogue. I don't think he can give some of his dialogue the proper emotional weight.

Great film and the best parts are when Keanu does cool action poo poo.

The film he directed, Man of Tai Chi, is excellent.

it's kind of funny that they haven't just done away with the crappy skits by now.

The skits at the start of HitB feed Mike and Jay's delusion that they are film makers so they don't have to face the reality that they are bitter failures whose only claim to fame is critiquing successful people.

They will never stop making lovely skits.

I actually like the skits a lot more than their reviews and wish they would do more of them, but not lovely ones like aliens sending them back in time.

I feel like plinkett doesn't really work any more though because Rich won't shave his mangy beard.

If things had gone a little bit differently I could imagine Keanu as America's answer to Jackie Chan. He got into his physical and martial arts training too late, but he obviously kept that poo poo up since The Matrix. I mean, the man is 52 years old and pulls off stunts that are impressive for men half his age.

I sort of say this about Michael Dudikoff, but mostly based on him from an 80s movie called Radioactive Dreams where he's playing a more comedic character. If he'd done some more comedy roles and mixed that with his American Ninja fame, I could have seen him being sort of a late 80s action-comedy leading man figure.

The cold open is for your benefit and pretty much gives you a synopsis of what happened in the first.

There are a lot of call back jokes/scenes and if you watch the first one they are just amazing. Go watch the first one.

2 does what few movies achieve by being at least as good as the original. They are similar but different movies that isn't just a retread.

The gun porn was pretty funny. I was slightly disappointed that he didn't get a light machine gun but that wouldn't be his style. The shotgun was like super inefficient even when compared to the pistols.

Both Keanu and Tom Cruise know their strengths and work hard as hell to get some pretty great results. They're not artists but they're definitely highly skilled craftsmen.

There is no explanation. If you watch John Wick 1, you'll realize they just wade into the world. What the hell is this Continental thing? It's the Continental idiot, shut up and watch the movie.

Oh there are rules? What are the rules and where did they come from? Correct, you are in the world of John Wick. Nobody knows what the rules are until they happen in the plot, and then everyone Keanu sneers "oh yeah, the rules".
