I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

The John Wick franchise is the greatest thematic collection of fictional media of all time, I just hate that they felt the need to add violence to it. It would work so much better if they cut out the "scary murder guy fights other murder guys" subplot and instead had the courage to focus entirely on the hotel. Who goes to them, what's it like to be in one, what even is a hotel, some sort of pirate house? You can definitely tell there's a hotel in it but they could have done so much more

You should watch Nobody, it's got all the same trappings but it's built on an actual plot focused on a character with an actual personality. Also the character is played by Bob Odenkirk and he loving rules.

okay but there's a fifth movie in the works, a spinoff coming that's set before 4 so Wick is in it, and potentially a sequel to that spinoff

Counterpoint, Nobody has one good fight scene and then deflates into a sitcom. "What if Back to the Future's beloved Doc Brown had two shotguns and did a swear??" It's a midlife crisis movie where the lead gets nostalgic for doing wetwork, and decides to retvrn to being an alpha male who does fun murders for kicks. You might be thinking "oh, so it's like a Punisher descent into darkness thing" but no, it's just dimly lit Looney Tunes. It's biggest crime is wasting Odenkirk, who legit has the chops to do more interesting action work.

I would never accuse the John Wick sequels of being good, but you've got to admit the franchise has a strong aesthetic. They know what they're about.

Oh goddamnit.

It was pretty funny how transparently they threw in Halle Berry (and to a lesser extent, Common) to test the waters for a spin-off. I think that would probably suck, but honestly I'd probably still go see it if it means seeing more stuntmen get their junk brutalized by those dogs.

Common played a way scarier villain hitman in Run All Night, which is a severely underrated movie.

That was my biggest question. He paid like 8 coins to dispose of a ton of bodies in his home, but also paid one coin for a single drink at a bar.

One drink is worth discrete disposal fees for ~2 bodies. Or is it more like body disposal is an 8 coin job for 1 or 20 bodies as long as they all fit in one van, like when you rent a moving truck?
My junior novelization and character guide to John Wick does not answer any of these questions

This is from a bit back, but I'm exactly the same - very low on the visualization scale, and I basically don't know what people look like if I'm not looking at them. I can't draw worth a good goddamn, but I learned to read very early, when I was two and a half.

I was drawing with perspective by age 4 but reading took forever. I'd love to know if there's a pattern here.
Do you have the same thing as the other poster, where the visual memories are stored but inaccessible? Like, you recognise people when you see them, but couldn't really recall their face in the interim? It feels like the inverse of long-form writing for me. I got halfway through a degree before I realised that when I write an essay, I wasn't, like, consciously deciding what to type. I'd just read a bunch of sources and drink a lot of coffee and essays would happen.

I might be, like, on the edge of face blindness - yes, I recognize people instantly when I see them, if I'm somewhat familiar with their face or they have very distinguishing features, but I usually have to rely on haircut or somesuch for edge cases, like if I've met somebody only once or twice. But if it's a movie star I know or a personal friend or family member, I'll get 'em right off.

(If a movie has, like, three shorthaired white men of about the same age as major characters, I'm in trouble if the plot is in the slightest bit complicated)

Possibly relevant: I'm certainly autistic, so I don't get as much out of faces as your average person, so I don't study them often. Could be a self-reinforcing loop, there, where I don't focus on the face so I don't remember it well.
