Gone in 60 Seconds bugs me because they spend the entire movie stealing cars for this Scottish twat and at the end he’s like “yeah I’m gonna kill you anyway binch” and Cage is like “naw I’ma kill you instead” Rendering the whole loving movie pointless

And why didn't they just let Eccleston kill Ribisi? He was an arrogant little twerp, an absolute pecker, that almost got everyone killed or imprisoned. Actually, why is Giovanni Ribisi still alive in general? Hasn't his time passed by now?

As much as Ribisi's character was an rear end in a top hat, he was still Nic Cage's brother. The concept of family runs strong in the car thieving profession, as seen in the Fast & Furious franchise.

Okay, now explain why the actor Giovanni Ribisi is allowed to live. I'm amazed more people haven't punched him in the nose.

He apparently has a show called Sneaky Pete where he plays a con man that just launched its third season on Amazon Prime.

Pilchenstein posted:I had largely the same complaint about John Wick 2. Like I get that he's supposed to be going along with what that guy wants because otherwise he'll be banned from the Continental but it's a loving hotel chain, just give them two stars on trip advisor and tell them to gently caress off. Well at that point it's not really about just being banned from the Continental, he's also got a worldwide contract on his head for killing a member of the High Table and even though he's John Wick he can't survive under those circumstances for much longer.

John Wick 3 is where they start digging into why people follow the rules of Assassin Society, what happens when you break them and finally pushing back against them.

Pilchenstein posted:I still enjoyed the film because the action was great but John Wick comes across as a total loving chump for being that guy's bitch for the entire film (even killing someone he apparently considers a friend) because of the special rules of Murder Club, which he then breaks anyway. Don't get me wrong - it would have been worse if he hadn't killed the guy, he just should have done it straight away. John was out for his blood after his house got blown up, and the only thing that stopped him was The Rules and being unarmed in a building full of armed guards ("You're trying to figure out how to kill me and then get out of here alive, aren't you?").

Realistically, the movie needed an actual ending because it was a remake of older, cool, getaway movie which really did not have an ending besides the thief driving away. So they went Hollywood. I actually liked how they used Vinnie Jones in that movie.

Valerian and the city of a thousand planets. A stone age civilization almost dies when a space battle causes their planet to loving explode. A small fraction of them somehow (???) manages to survive on a crashed half-destroyed spaceship where they reverse engineer math, science, farming, philosophy, somehow (???) before they all die of suffocation/hunger/thirst.

And indeed it does rule. ulex minor posted:i just don't think the logic really follows there but it's a fair point to make and i suppose it's about 50% less irritating to me now Actually might be a point that the guy who does kill the principal is basically set on the path to become a serial killer, the difference is he has a taxi and the kid has superpowers. And is a kid. Deadpool generally is very protective of kids and vulnerable people in general. (Usually) Maybe being a cancer patient will do that.

All of that, and when we meet them in the present, they are still dressed in the same garb and weaponry as when we first saw them on their planet. Didn't even bother to modernize a new pair of pants, or use a gun, despite them stealing tech from all over the ship.

I'll still watch that movie because it's going to be awesome, but it's not a real fast and furious movie without vin diesel. Tokyo drift is the only one that gets a pass in this regard.

A quick glance at his IMDB seems to me like playing Juggernaut didnt hurt his career at all. Didnt help it probably, he does a lot of TV and a lot of straight to DVD action movies but he is working steadily. Its not like he was given roles in a lot of tentpole hollywood blockbusters before X3 that suddenly dried up.

I don't watch a lot of horror movies, but man alive I cannot stand the cliche where the camera sees the Bad Guy, pans back to the victim, pans back to where the Bad Guy has vanished, pans back to the victim, and then Bad Guy appears out of nowhere and does what the Bad Guy does.

Yea the Wick series has ratcheted up the ridiculousness in each sequel so it's not surprising that it's gonna leave some people behind who enjoyed the first movie. Personally I love where they've gone with the series but I can see how others would prefer the simpler, more streamlined story of the original.
