I'm pretty sure once the market for softcore porn disappeared all the people involved just moved right onto making regular no budget movies, but still with the softcore porn aesthetic.

Millennials’ children will never stumble upon softcore porn due to the end of cable. Sad!

Hardly the first movie to have this problem (Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters had it too among many many others) but in Hobbs and Shaw there are flashbacks to Shaw and his sister as kids, and they look like the kids are maybe 9 and 12. Except as adults there is a fairly obvious 21 year age gap between Jason Statham and his on-screen sister. In those flashbacks if she was 9 the actor playing the young Deckard Shaw should have been about 30. I know the Fast and Furious franchise is in full denial that their stars are now mainly in their late 40s and early 50s, but that really really stuck out.

Women in their forties don't exist in the minds of Hollywood producers.

She was probably just a few years younger in the script.

This is also an issue with the mainline F&F series where Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez's characters are supposedly high school sweethearts even though Diesel is 11 years older than her.

Millionaire Tour:

Twists for the sake of twists are dumb. They have to make sense. This had to be the most convoluted plan to get out of being murdered for stealing money. When you need to have an exposition scene with flashbacks post-twist to explain how it actually makes sense, you've already blown it.

also the "millionaire tour" is a relatively pointless sideplot that is just there to pad out the running time. It has pretty much zero relevance to anything that happens in the end.

a good movie, but it left a sour aftertaste because it tried way too hard to be clever in the last 20 minutes.

The 'Dad that got brought (back) in, and has to be the most correct person in every scene, even when surrounded by experts' -archetype.

It's just such a tedious cliche, and makes the writing of any movie feel a billion times worse.
Especially since this is often done by having everyone in the room be impulsive/indecisive idiots, despite supposedly being specialists/professionals working with whatever is at hand.
Depending on the movie it can also mean that they're the ones driving most of the actions the group/organization does, while the people who were running it loving 5 seconds ago just stand back, mouths agape.
And to make matters worse, they're sometimes the audience stand-in, previously removed from the action. Meaning that they have no loving clue what's actually going on, yet still bark orders as if they've been the boss for a decade.

In this case I'm watching Godzilla, King of the Monsters.
And the 'Sad/angry dad' protagonist gets brought in and instantly starts shouting down the supposed professionals that have been working with monsters the last X years while he's been off doing things likely not related to monsters.
And he is of course nearly instantly proven correct in every assumption, because of course. And has to bark orders to make people in the organization do things they should be doing automatically, as a matter of course/routine.

He is a SAD/ANGRY DAD after all, and as we all know they are natural leaders.

It’s been a while since I saw Rat Race, but I think the entire movie was pretty drat silly. I mean,

quote:

Enrico falls asleep at the start and wakes up hours later. He receives a ride from Zack, an ambulance driver delivering a transplant heart. Enrico inadvertently throws the heart out of the van whereupon it is stolen by a dog, which is then electrocuted by an electric fence. Zack decides to kill Enrico to replace the heart. Enrico escapes by boarding a passing train to Silver City station, where he is the first to reach the locker, only to fall asleep while unlocking it.
and

quote:

Randy and his family mistakenly visit a Klaus Barbie museum where they steal Adolf Hitler's staff car after the Cody brothers sabotage their vehicle. When his family insists on ending the trip, Randy drugs them with sleeping pills and bundles them into a semi-truck.

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

In episode two of The Boys when they figure out how to kill Translucent, they claim that if he tries to dig the plastique out of his rear end it’ll explode. That’s uh....literally the exact opposite of the entire point of plastic explosives, which is that they’re incredibly stable and can be shaped freely and safely.

I'm pretty sure the insinuation is that it is rigged to explode if he tries to get it out himself, not that it's unstable enough to blow up by poking it around.

It's actually incredibly good, like so much better than I thought it would be. It's maybe the most anti cop show going. It's got a lot to say about the abuse of power and wealth.
My recollection of what little I read of the comic was basically "Dude what if Batman and Robin were totally gay! And they did buttsex isn't that edgy?!"
The show is secretly a lot smarter.
