    So. Many. Things.

     

    First,

    This is suppose to be Sasha?

    Second, Deaf DJs are actually a thing. I had to look it up after this movie.

     

     

    Also, I started loosing my mind watching this at 1:00 AM and started creating a theory about how this movie predicts the rise of Donald Trump and failure of the GOP to stop it. I can totally go into that if you want.

    The way the Cuba scene ends is so strange​.

     

    They build up a minor villain (the guy Dom races). Every other movie would have the hero win, the bad guy humiliated, end of scene. But F8 has the villain say, "you've earned my respect," Dom doesn't take his car, and everyone becomes friends.

     

    They even address it later when Dom says he "changed him" by showing him mercy essentially. It's surprisingly deep for a crazy action movie.

    In the game Fallout, some people survived a nuclear apocalypse by living in underground vaults. Some of there were actually experiments run by the company that constructed the vaults. Vault 69 (clever, eh?) was apparently populated by 1 man and 999 women.

    The game series also features slavers, mutants, warring factions, and a government similar to what we see in this movie.

    I was really confused as to how such an awful movie managed to find so many talented actors before they hit it big.

    • Sebastian Stan - Winter Soldier
    • Taylor Kitsch - Friday Night Lights, True Detective, tons of blockbuster films
    • Steven Strait - starring on one of the best new shows this year
    • Jessica Lucas - TONS of TV work
    • Chace Crawford - lots of success on TV (Gossip Girl)
    • Laura Ramsey - nothing huge, but has stayed very busy

    Turns out the casting director is Mindy Marin, who has cast a bunch of awesome movies like Nightcrawler, Drive, Juno, etc. She also cast a few HDTGM classics: Anaconda and Face/Off.

    I actually had the pleasure of working with Robyn Lively on a movie a few years ago. She was very nice from my interactions with her.

     

    As for this movie, I legitimately thing everyone (except for maybe Hats and the parents) is a straight up sociopath.

     

    The teacher is a creep. He makes fun of a student in public for having birth control. Louis Guzman's reaction is to force him to do something that would get him labeled a sex offender. If it wasn't played as a comical bit with magic, it would be a super dark episode of Dateline.

     

    Two loosely related thoughts:

     

    Regarding voodoo dolls, if you want to see an equal parts cool, disturbing, and funny take on it, watch Stardust.

     

    Finally, this movie is like a live action episode of Rick and Morty starring Summer.

    It's in case you didn't get the oh-so-subtle metaphor of him as the devil. There are a couple other times (like during Boogalow's first song) where he appears in a similar devil form for single shots.

     

    Wait a minute! Was this some sort of Adam and Eve story?! What year is it?!

     

    Yeah, I get he's dressed as the devil. I'm more interested in what Shake is wearing.

    Okay, listening to Jason, Paul, and Scott talk about space was painful.

     

    There is no way he could have made it to the moon. The moon is like 240,000 miles away. They were at, I assume, low earth orbit altitude. That would put them 1,200 miles up (at maximum). They didn't seem to be orbiting either. So Hasselhoff totally fell back to Earth and burned alive.

    Has anybody mentioned how nonplussed the daughter seemed to be by (as far as she knows) her father, leering at her in her underwear?

     

    Also, when Travolta first visits the secret medical facility they are 3D printing an ear. 3D printed organs and body parts aren't really science fiction anymore, albeit a ways from being used. Crazy that this nutso movie got that technology right.
