The sets for the aborted Fox series "Lost In Space" that was supposed to follow the movie reboot were recycled as the BATTLESTAR PEGASUS.

3 guesses what show PEGASUS showed up on.

Edge of Tomorrow. I liked it, and also didn't like it. They do the stupid over explainy poo every Tom Cruise film does, but I liked everything else. (The training montage was dumb, and threatened to let the aliens win).

I've got thoughts about the movie, but I don't want to spoil it, so I'll make another thread.

Just watched an old movie with Virginia Mayo in it (Fort Dobbs). Whew, what a beautiful woman. I wish women these days were more like the women back then. Beautiful, even sexy, yet classy. Also, I don't like women who cuss like a sailor. I realise, in a way, this is sexist. Oh well. However, I don't swear around women and children. I think a woman has a right to, though. I'm just saying it turns me off.

Idle Hands.  Campy and entertaining.  I love Seth Green.  It was pretty over the top as a send up of the genre.  Jessica Alba is pretty, but not exactly a tour de force in terms of acting.

Fast and Furious - 3okyo 3rift. Not a good movie by any means, it literally ends with our white "hero" beating the native Japanese "baddie" down the mountain slope, almost as if this were a 1980's cusak movie.

Lil' Bow Wow can't win. I mean I know he dropped the "Lil" but in this movie, he's named "Twinkie" or "Twink". I'll save you some time, don't google that. It's a term for homosexual.

Vin Diesel phones in a cameo in the last minute of the film - literally. Good for him, it bought him the rights to Riddick. They jam in the "family" poo, even though half of the actors can't stand each other.

One note, the movies AFTER Tokyo Drift exist in a weird time bubble because this movie kills off Han, but he shows up in more sequels than is plausible.

Like he dies in 2006, but is still appearing in films in 2014.

That and you know, the Paul Walker thing.

I might watch the f4st and the f4ious tonight, I've got nothing left to read. I mean I'm sure I'll find more later, but I'm boredski.

Polar was poo, and nowhere near as brutal as the wick films. It's Netflix traash.


Okay, watched "Los Bandoleros" Aside from a Dominican Republic vacation, this was poo. Thankfully, it's only 20 minutes long. I do feel bad for Michelle Rodriguez. Vin Diesel wrote and directed her making out with him. Which is kind of "guh" if you stop and think about it. I mean people know Hitchcock treated his female leads like poo, but they didn't have to make out with him, in film.

I honestly mixed up the opening of the fourth film and this piece of poo. It's free to watch on Vimeo, but it's a complete waste of time, aside from establishing that while Han is Japanese, he was not raised that way. Prior to involvement in the franchise, he'd never left the continental united states.

4ast 4our

I like Sophie Trinh. She doesn't drive a car, but she does most of the work in the movie, AND calls cowpoo on the premise of Paul Walker waltzing into CRIMEGANG

The race is very video game, bad video game. like the racing segments in GTA.

LOL, Trinh is still doing all the actual work, Walker is a charlie's angel, she ran the actual fingerprints.

Yup, total vidya game, they're in magic tunnels in the border that look like the mines in skyrim.

"You and me, we're not so different" - shows up again. weird note to reprise from 3okyo  3rift.

I like the bad guys with uzi's in the ford escort station wagon, that's furious, but isn't in any way fast.

Then they have trucks jumping. Perhaps I was too invested in the escort.

Now we have a desert chaase, reminiscent of 2fast2furious weird convoy of crime.

Now they're back in the mines of skyrim.

Actually, this final stretch is very similar to the down mountain race of the previous film. With a higher budget.

I do not recommend 4ast 4our.

God help me, I think I'm gonna load up 5ast 5ive tonight.

AST 5IVE opens with a stunt that's a mix between Just Cause and GTA.

One of the annoying ones where you die constantly until you figure out the "trick" Still, hell of a sequence.

Another baddy has Vin Diesel wrapped up in chains and believes he has the upper hand. SUCKER! Sure enough, when baddies go for kill, CHAIN-FU.

Mr. Rock shows up and gets the one PG-13 golly permissable. Seemed a bit cheap. Seeing his arrival reminds me of the notorious runway from the next film. 5 miles long, I've read.


Apparently the baddie for this one is borrowed from Desperado. He gives a civilized, board room pitch. Dwayne is delivering garbage dialog but GOT DANG if he doesn't deliver.

Good news, bad news, he likes the dessert first. Then for the bad news, he says "Give me the veggies." That is GARBAGE, but he delivered.

Rock rides in a custom SUV, it's comical. Even with headphones I'm dealing with the quiet dialogue, deafining gunshots problem. golly this future.

Pretty sure MW2 straight up ripped the favella mission out of this movie, and I don't blame them. It's pulse pounding, no thinky action. Like, they portray Mr. Diesel as some agile cat, nimbly pimbly bouncing roof to roof.

Mr. Johnson SLAMS THROUGH CRAP, AND MURDILATES THE PANTYHOSE GANGERS WHILE HE'S AT IT. JABRONIS! It's visually stunning, but the way they cash on horrible poverty makes me feel bad for watching. This isn't toon town, people really live in these conditions.Interestingly, Vin's "crew" go non-lethal, punches, kicks, and running. As mentioned, Rock MURDILATES.

Almost seems his character has a murder fetish, and this chase allows him to sate it.

Okay, it's not subtext, Rock's crew straight up ventilates. They're not looking for confessions. Hah, then they confirm it, this isn't an investigation, they consider Vin and Paul names on a list.

Holy poo, they did an emotional scene where "Brian" talks about not even remembering his father, and "Dom" tells him he won't be like that. And then we segue into the "team assembly" scene straight out of the 1970's.

the two guys from the previous film, their schtick is spanish, and it's lame. Tyrese, lame. Ludacris, Holy poo, he does this one interested look with his eyes that is beyond this film.

I hear he goes by Chris Bridges in movies? Kind of like how Dwayne goes by Dwayne Johnson. Like, why build up the brand?  Either way, when Vin straight up Brando phones it in, This guy deserves a better movie.

I think the main hench was a backstreet boy? okay, my bad, Michael Irby is not a backstreet boy.

We get a bodycount on the favella, Rock smoked 16 baddies. The RC car segment was fun. Not as much car action in this one as heisting. We get some beauty shots, but the racing portions of the series seem to be ramping down, if not gone.

poo, they literally cut the race segment. I thought I was going to eat my words, then nope, they just get the porsche. Gal Gadot gets to be pretty. She's dang good at it.

They try to do a bit about the team being burned, but it doesn't work, they're CRIMINALS. One fun subversion, they kind of rely on the "it's not really him" thing with Vin having his back to Rock, then it isn't. It really is Vin.

I kinda dig the "I don't feel under arrest" bit. I also dig the second, total Stallone voice officer from the ROCK STEADY CREW "Come on H, Another day."

Also fun politic, Vin throws out that Rock isn't in America, and all the gangers pull their pieces.

Another thing I like from these films, when we go into the homes of characters, they do a good job dressing the sets. I was impressed with it in 3okyo 3rift, and I like it here. It's a weird depth of character developent that's honestly out of place in these films.

Another surprisingly deep scene in a crap film. 3rift reprise, which is funny, since this is supposed to be before 3rift. HOLY CRAP, THE RIDICULOUS SOMETHING MEASURING CONTEST ACTUALLY HAS A POINT IN THE PLOT!

They needed to know the cars could burn, and then showed them being super cool for the viewer. That's like, double payoff. This movie has no right pulling something that clever.

I really hope most of the vin/rock fight was CG, because Rocks head meets a lot of hard metal right edges.

what.the.golly. this movie just went hurt locker.

Rock's rock mobile survives, his entire team dies. even stallone voice. The vault pull is completely ridiculous, but I can't lie, it's compelling cowpoo.

Also somewhat lazy that they establish ALL the cops in the chase are baddies, and thus, expendible. oh dang, vin is murdering them with his giant vault flail.

Then rock just straight up murders the baddie, like a sneeze. Seriously, he must be bless'ed the president to get away with that poo. We were told baddie runs Rio, then BLAM BLAM, like Rock doesn't even look at the politician when he kills him.


The vault fake out is cheap. Honestly, Gal Gadot earns her MVP this movie. Dang. Sleeze lord grabbed her ass, and it got them 100 million dollars. Talk about a sexual harassment settlement. Plus the politician is dead!

Hell of a mid credits scene too. Hey, Dead person might not be dead!

Weird thing, I drank like, a poo ton of beers watching 3, and wrote far less than I did on Ast 5ive. One beer this time. Can. Miller. Not really worth writing about, but still.

Fast 6.

The one alotted PG-13 F-drop was a lot less cheap. Good life advice actually.

If a girl shoots you, STAY THE golly AWAY FROM HER.

The Rock is jumping around like spider-man, which I found somewhat less believable

The crew is assembled fairly quickly, less time being spent on it than the previous film.

The baddies drive weird F1 cars with metal flip plates, I'm sure that was a hell of a toy. With all the toy tie-in films I'm shocked Fast and Furious doesn't do a hot-wheels tie in. But I have heard the eventual goal is fast and furious in space.

The captioning unsynced, I was mucho unhappy.

I broke for dinner and came back.

Gal Gadot, DANG.

We get a baddy comeback from a prior film

And then we get a hot car moment, almost as if they remember what the series was about.

The Letty / Dom Car race is honestly more romantic than the actual prior interaction. Nice callback too, he makes her fire off her NOS tank before he does, which was a primal sin in the original movie.

I just realized, we got stupid nose punch agent, but Sophie Trinh doesn't come back. That's a damn shame, she was a decent character in a cookie cutter lineup


Rock's script derived banter has improved. Which isn't saying much, but it is more fun.

That's why people like the Rock in movies, he makes garbage look good.

"Brush up on your spanish, I'll see you in España"

Honestly, I'm reminded of KnightBoat at this venture.

Every week there's a canal, or inlet! or a Fjord. QUIET! I will not hear another word against the boat!

OH poo IT'S A TANK

That was good. I even like that Egg Diesel was willing to die for Rodrieguez. That's a nice beat, when Vin is about as romantic as a toaster.

Rock pulls a weird double cross that makes no sense, besides ROCK AND ROLL MANG!


OH NO - FIVE MILE RUNWAY TIME!

Baddies pull the C-130 unit. Russians are flying it for some reason.

Okay, yes, the fact that they are still on the runway after several minutes of fight scenes IS confusing. Entertaining as hell though.

1:50 - things are a bit of a mess at this point, multiple people are firing harpoon guns? and they all fail?

Gal Gadot gets eaten by darkness? like literally, she pulls out a gun, shoots at baddie, and vanishes into the dark. Maybe they didn't want to do a gritty death scene for her character?

I feel Jordanna Brewster has been somewhat mistreated by the franchise. She didn't even get a sex scene before she got damseled off with a baby. She does get some drive time here, and she makes the most of it, driving and emoting.

The C-130 blows up, dramatically, with Vin Diesel aboard. He blows out of it, stupidly, and his car really spins about.

We end this scene at the end of the runway. Took long enough.

Vin walks from the flames like a terminator, Mcguffin in hand, PARDONS FOR EVERYONE!

I've heard the Rock V tyrese line was an ad-lib. Tyrese says "hide the baby oil." Rock says "Hide that bigass forehead". Ludacris spit-takes.

Elena kind of gets screwed in this ending too.

Dang, Letty is almost drafted, Stockholm style. I've already said I find the Letty / Dom relationship off, now it's worse.

We are introduced to Jason Stateham. No clue why they didn't work in the transporter. I guess it's because Transporter was 20th century Fox, and the Fast and the Stupid is Universal.

THE END


I HATED Wick 3.
