John Wick was fine. I find it very hard to suspend my disbelief for some reason with this series, not particularly sure why. But the bulletproof blazers was too much for me (why not the shirts too?!). Also - the fight in the club, and not one person was filming? That molly must have been wild.
Glad they kept Reeves’ dialogue to a minimum. Cannot deliver a line to save his life.
First two hours was standard Wick mix of stupid Assassins Creed-quality mythos and ‘been there done that’ action before with a little extra fun Donnie Yen. Shit picks up mega when Scott Adkins joins the party and the last hour is great fun, with a killer birds-eye sequence, the most Looney Tunes use of stairs in cinematic history, and a full on Spaghetti Western finale.
Probably the best of them? I’m not hugely enamoured with them like a lot of people - I hate a lot of the gun-fu basically being ‘run up to him with your gun pointed at him’, and really hate how they solved that here with ‘they shoot from distance now, but he just covers his face with his tux’ - but it was good fun.

My favorite is still the first. The world is still realistic and the movie does a good job at making John live up to the baba yaga name without the bulletproof tux and 100% bulletproof armor from head to toe. He's just a pure ruthless killer, like when he stabs that guy in the bath house and just stares him in the eyes while he's dying.
Did really enjoy JW4.
Bulletproof jackets everyone had, don't think it helped the story or anything.
Keanus's delivery is kind of funny but I do enjoy it, not sure I could call it bad. "I need… a gun."

Watched Dunkirk from the 4K Bluray on the OLED. God damn what a film, I'm not even an English nationalist like Fortune but this is still Nolan's best film, easily.
Nolan's best movie being the one without a plot, story, or much of any dialog makes a lot of sense, actually
100% spot on, yeah. Distilled to what he does best which is spectacle, visuals, attention to detail, and audio design. It's even tightly paced at only 1:40! Great film.
It annoys me to all hell that he's incapable of balancing to a happy medium when it comes to plot or dialog
By domino Go To Postthat shit looks like a slavery movie but w/ waterAhahaha wait 💀
By Xpike Go To Postmarvel just gonna say we got a new multiverse Kang then bam he's now played by Eddie MurphyBased
By DY_nasty Go To Posti, for one, shall await all the factsYeah, idk about “all of us at Yale didn’t like him” being too convincing
By FortuneFaded Go To Postdamn
By Mister Go To PostJohn Wick 4 is peak cinema
good on them for deciding on the ending they did, must've been tough to convince the greedy execs
also loved The Warriors and Hotline Miami (maybe) homages
It’s actually a The Hong Kong Massacres reference
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostHe's already been tried and found guilty in a court of Era.Saw a couple of people saying “even if he’s innocent from this accusation doesn’t mean he hasn’t done it before.”
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostHe's already been tried and found guilty in a court of Era.The two people who talked about him having a past of this kind of stuff aren't exactly unknown people and one of them talked about the situation (without naming who was it at the time) way before this happened.
Domestic violence cases are complicated and I am speaking from personal experience.
My father has a reputation of being a great guy, to the point that despite him being a big fat, he has had a lot of women after him since he became single again, one of them was even younger than me.
But during my parents divorce when I was a teen, I saw my father hold a knife to my mother and there was a night where he was getting aggressive to the point of throwing the landline phone against the wall when my mother was trying to call the police.
The only reason he didn't hit her that night was because the 14 year old me went into autopilot and placed myself between them, shielding my mother to allow her to grab my baby sister and get out the door.
My father tried to get through but I had a rush of strength that didn't allow him to get near my mother.
A few minutes later my aunt and her husband were at my house to clean up any evidence, my uncle is lawyer and was part of the regional government and there he was gathering every piece of the smashed phone before the police arrived.
23 years later, talk to anyone about my father and they will all say how great of a guy he is.
He is a now retired and was a teacher before, not a famous actor who headlines multimillion franchises and has a PR department behind him.
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostHe's already been tried and found guilty in a court of Era.Nah Era only cares about what this means for their beloved MCU phase going forward
If he was guilty that'd be their only concern
By domino Go To Postdamn so she was just playing I guess
Based on what? He said, she said? This is just as bad as saying he’s guilty.
Wait for the facts.
By n8 dogg Go To PostBased on what? He said, she said? This is just as bad as saying he’s guilty.There was video and audio recordings from Mason Greenwood and he got away with it, Cosby's behaviour was apparently a known thing in Hollywood and the it only started getting getting attention after Hannibal Buress went public with it, Sean Penn is a monster and now he is interviewing important people for documentaries.
Wait for the facts.
Sure. On the balance of things, he is very likely guilty. But did we not just go through the public court of opinion with Johnny Depp’s bullshit
some sources saying he called the cops to check on her because she was going through something - and when they showed up at her place, she said she was assaulted lol

he gonna need the cab footage to come out like Michael Irvin at this point otherwise ppl just going to assume he did it anyway
Girlfriend to announce she’s pregnant next month, Majors announcing the wedding for later this year.
By domino Go To Posthe gonna need the cab footage to come out like Michael Irvin at this point otherwise ppl just going to assume he did it anywayim looking forward to umar's thoughts on this one either way
at least he didn't jussie himself
By Pho Kew Go To PostDiamond Dame spinoff still on the books?I don't think it was ever confirmed. The studio might want to hold up on any decision but Michael B. Jordan has a lot of power in terms of where the franchise is heading, he is very close to Johnathan Majors and Creed 3 has been a massive hit bringing more than 3 times the budget already.
Oh I was just making it up cuz I liked his character and I know there’s talks of some creed anime on prime video
Finally got round to watching Top Gun: Maverick and my goodness that was maximum kino. Feeling so amped I could dropkick bear.
Does the first one hold up?
Watched star trek 2009 earlier, enjoyed it by and large. Bana's villain was fucking dreadful though. Thankfully I only noticed the lens flare late on, it was all I could see after that though.

I've never especially liked the first Top Gun, so yeah it's not great outside of the flight combat scenes.
I was never a big fan of Top Gun, but Maverick was great. Only went to watch it because a friend wanted company. Glad I did.
