mookie has to assume True Lies gets a 99.9 on the rt website then. ;)

having sex with a mask is rape?!?! :eek:

well no wonder the bandit takes his hat off for one thing, and one thing only :D

She gave consent, but not to that particular person. She gave consent to who she thought was someone else. :eek:

Fast and Furious films are fun video game style movies and never pretend to be otherwise. They are enjoyable eye candy and great ways to waste a few hours. They are Michael Bay Films only better.

While I have never seen one (the trailers told me all I need to know), that is probably a good way of putting it. Although, guessing not as good as a Liam Neeson action movie. :p

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.
 
Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies

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.

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.
 
Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies

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 :p
