    I always have a soft spot for Tokyo Drift.

    Speaking of that, it qualifies on the Rotten Tomatoes challenge. (39%)

      Not gonna look back, but is the RT THEIR score or AUDIENCE score? Because I finally checked the rating on a movie that I really do like, and it's 25% RT, 77% audience.

      Gone In 60 Seconds remake. I know, I know, but it's a fun movie.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

              Edit: Dwane Johnson description is correct. It's too bad, actually, I think he could do some other stuff successfully, if he got the chance. He was awesome in Be Cool.
              Liam Neeson films are ok, outside of Taken 1 though the drop off is quite steep. Fast and Furious films are better IMHO.

                Gone in 60 Seconds is great. Awesome cast basically hamming it up driving cars. (see also: Fast and Furious franchise)

                  You wonder if the makers of the Gi60S remake are kicking themselves seeing what F&F has made the past 20 years.

                    For me Gone in 60 Seconds blows any of the "original concept" F&F movies out of the water. There is pretty distinctive difference in what the F&F franchise started as, and what it has become however. A modern F&F movie has nothing in common w/ the original other than Vin Diesel.

                    In the early 2000s I was heavily involved in "legit" motorsports and had been for some time as both a fan and participant (non-driver). That timeframe as a whole saw a massive influx of people into "Car Culture" because it was the "in" thing to do. These movies spurred the "tuner" culture side of it and I hated that. You had kids who had no idea how to change their oil suddenly become experts on how to trip out their Honda Civic w/ stickers and a bolt on rear wing. It was insulting to be talked down to by kids who had these cars because I drove a minivan, a Ford Escort sedan, or a compact pickup at the time, despite working in the pits of both drag and circle track cars for several years at that point. I just can't forgive the F&F franchise for being the catalyst for all that BS that I had to deal with

                        Exactly. There was a "right" way and a "wrong" way to tune imports at the time. This took all the "wrong" ways and turned them to 11. And again, it was everywhere in pop culture. It wasn't just a small segment of gear heads doing this.

                          Taken 2 did have Rade, though. So that was a major plus. Taken 3 sucked, even I admit that.

                          As for the rice rockets, at a car show last month in MI, and heard some elder lady (owner of a muscle car) complain to other owners that "kids nowadays put those fartboxes on their cars, and think it sounds cool." I could NOT agree more, and told her so.

                            The Descendants:

                            As his wife is dying, a distant father/husband tries to make amends with her and their two daughters, while trying to decide whether to sell off some critical/valuable real estate in Hawaii.

                            It was good. Ran the gamut of emotions, didn't really shy away from the raw parts. Clooney is great, as always, props to Shailene Woodley (yeah, I don't know either) who was excellent as the elder daughter. Definitely worth a watch.

                              Liam in a movie that felt like the Virgo movie where he was undercover Russian dude in London. Had mookie laughing.

                              Also watched grease (mookie can sing along....secret shame) and 2 avenger movies (infinity stone and ultron). Mookie never realized there were so many

                                Grease is awesome. Grease 2 was never made, I heard rumors, glad they never followed through. I SAID I'm glad they never followed through.
