As far as I’m aware, Heard is still in Aquaman so that’s a big fuck you from me.

Same here, crazy heffer nearly poked out Momoa's eye. She's supposedly getting blacklisted but I'll believe that when I see it. Apparently Hollywood has found out that she's manipulative and a pathological liar.

I just caught the following film as it was only showing in one theater and only for tonight:

It was a pretty incredible true story.

@MaxxThe movie followed the life of St Nektarious and is about the Greek Orthodox church.  He was kept from rising in ranks in the church solely because other religious leaders couldn't stand his piety and righteousness.  So they continued to file complaints against him which stopped him from ever reaching any position of leadership.

I appreciate Chris Gore's insight into movies. This is a pretty decent commentary as to why writing sucks nowadays.

Usually I try fandango or atomfilms if I am trying to find a film that's only showing in a few theaters.  Both sites will let you search in a certain radius of a zip code.

I finally got around to seeing Hacksaw Ridge, the true story of Desmond Doss.  It was in my backlog forever and I decided to watch it because IMO Garfield is slept on and is an underrated actor.  This movie was decent, and they even toned down the real life exploits of the man for the film.  I wish they wouldn't have added the tragic home life angle to the movie as it really felt shoehorned into the story.

 

Here is a pretty good summary of the real man:

I didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. Ke Huy Quan (aka Short Round) was the MVP. I was also surprised at the number of fight sequences in the movie.

I rented the first one back in 2001 and thought it was just ok. I never saw 2-4. 

I randomly read a review of 5 saying it was a very good action movie and decided to see it. I really liked it and have seen 6-9 and Hobbs/Shaw. 

 

9 was showing some cracks but overall it's a formula that works similar to MCU.

Justin Lin drops out of directing Fast 10. 

 

Vin Diesel probably farted in his face and said" when you're here, you're family"

[RSG3]

That's weird, Justin Lins been with them forever at this point no?

[Hecatom]

I am back from watching Sonic 2, and I have to say that it was an improvement from Sonic 1 (which btw I liked it, but I think the hype from it was a little bit much).

It still has its flaws, but still a solid fun watch.

I saw "The Northman" tonight. I enjoyed it, but it took me about 1/2 the movie's run time and a couple hours to digest it to come to that realization.

 O, but it also seems clear to me after the Roxk incident that his ego is getting a big for his head. Clearly it's still growing if he's running Lin out the job. 

[J-ride]

I watched this film last weekend:

It was actually pretty enjoyable.  The movie is mostly Nic Cage making fun of himself so it was an interesting meta in which Nic Cage was playing Nic Cage in a movie about Nic Cage.

I am hoping to catch RRR this weekend, I had a few coworkers rave about it who aren't even Indian about how the movie is BOSS AF and has some 90s style action scenes that are over the top for no reason.

It began before that. Tyrese is in the franchise because he got an inflated ego and they had completely scrap the original Fast & Furious 2 idea. Hell Fast 4 is basically what Fast 2 was supposed to be.

Sounds to me like Vin Diesel is projecting that small man energy, because he knows he will stop being relevant once the F&F franchise ends (I heard X is supposed to be the last one?) so he's gotta act like he's the master of his small domain

It's his own damn fault. He got a big head early on. They wanted to make xXx a franchise but, like with the original Fast & Furious 2, Vin got a big head. That's why they had Ice Cube in the sequel. He tried to pull off another Fast & Furious like revival with the third xXx film but by then the ship had sailed. He wasn't the new potential action star lead anymore, he was just the old "family" man from the Fast franchise.  Dude had a chance to be the highest paid star in Hollywood but got in his own way.  He had the chance to be in two bankable franchises in his prime his ego got the best of him.

 

It's crazy that he ran off Justin Lin. IMO Lin and Paul Walker were the glue holding that franchise together. The situation with Paul Walker can't be helped. Lin put together an, IMO underrated entry, in the franchise in Tokyo Drift. It captured the charm of the original movie with a new setting and new type of racing. The popularity of Han is a testament to that.
