What was wrong? Did the milk go bad?!

Apparently there is some sort of twist ending but because no one saw this shitty looking film, there aren't any spoiler synopsis out online yet, sort of like what happened with Nine Lives a few months back. Literally, one of the many "ending explained" videos on Youtube is a guy reading the wikipedia blurb summary, saying he thinks there will be a twist, and to comment to tell HIM if he was right.

Idk, I think he got out-amazinged in Gods of Egypt by HTDGM superstar Gerard Butler.

I'll write again what I wrote in the recommendation thread in that they really screwed up by not killing off the Brian character in Fast 7, because of the family unit that they've created over this series. By saying Brian has retired because he's a dad now but having Dom remain team leader and be a dad just comes off to me as "yeah I can be both because that's how badass I am, what's your excuse?" Him being alive wouldn't be an issue if Dom wasn't revealed to now have a kid, but now there is this issue of family within the family that just comes off as kinda insulting to Paul Walker. For me that's where the phonetic association went. Sort of how like a parent would come up with a non-swear word association for taint so their kid doesn't say the actual word or that they don't embarrass the kid even though it still does, like pee-pee for penis.

I thought that was more a euphemism for the man's taint.

I imagine this is how Whedon deals with this news. For some reason the clip won't open where I want it to so you have to jump to the 7 minute mark. http://youtu.be/bvRSUlGe2lU?t=7m7s Yeah I remember them promoting that she was hired to play Barbara and then she wasn't in the final cut which stunk, as after seeing her in the director's cut I would have taken her over the Lois Lane storyline any day of the week.

Her scenes were cut for time but were included in the director's cut. It added a bit of fluidity that the multiple storylines were missing, it's still not great but it improves upon what was put into theaters.

Idk, I tend to lean towards Becky Cloonans version, though WB will never make the film set in Burnside. Is Jenna Malone still Batgirl then since she had already filmed stuff for Batman v. Superman or is Whedon going to replace her outright even though Malone was great as Barbara Gordon?

Yeah with it announced that he's directing Batgirl I don't know how to feel. I've loved the last few editions of the character which have real updated her to a more three dimensional character with interesting villains and allies. Yet I feel that's going to get bogged down in Whedon-dialogue and make it almost like a Buffy lite. I get why DC/WB picked him as he has had huge success with the films he's done for Marvel, but they have to realize he tends to bite the hand that feeds pretty hard even when that hand is still feeding him.

The only reason I can see him higher on the list was because of the wrecking ball stunt that he set off which if that didn't kill some dudes, I would be amazed.

Yeah they all had earpieces. Followed by Vin turning on a personal hologram of him so that he can high-five himself. Question: Why would Ludacris risk Tyrese's life in order to just prank him with the wrecking ball? Literally that is a split second decision that could have left him smeared across the ground simply so Luda can get a hearty laugh because he put a winky face on the wrecking ball? He tells everyone else about this part of the plan BUT Tyrese solely for this moment and thankfully he moves out of the way both times, but it could have ended horribly. Also with the competition for affection for Ramsay between Tyrese and Ludacris, am I the only one that was waiting for her at the end to tell them that she was a lesbian? I liked her tripping them up with the "what's my last name" question but it just means that we get more uncomfortable courting in the sequels.

I have to second this opinion. I also feel that Vin Diesel is a more selfish lover, like he would call out his own name during sex or have you wear a paper bag that has a his picture on it on your head.

Well yeah, how else do explain Supernanny?

Correction: The Rock is rumored to play Shazam's arch-nemesis Black Adam, not Shazam himself. Also it makes sense that The Rock is going for the strong fatherly aspect in his characters as he has two daughters and many actors start taking roles that they intend for their kids to enjoy or relate to. His first daughter was born in 2001 which makes sense as to why he went on a run of family/animated films from 2007-2010, and now with with that daughter being older he includes aspects of how important a daughter is to the characters that he plays, examples include San Andreas and Fast 6-8, while Moana is for both of his daughters. I still don't know why Vin Diesel did his run of crappy family films though as he didn't have kids until years after those were done. And as for Tyrese who I just found cringey in this film, he is actually really good in Death Race alongside Statham as well as the low budget bank robber film Waist Deep.

I'm not surprised that the hosts loved this film, but boy was it so-so for me. I've put my rant on the recommendation thread but it basically boils down to why is the crew so willing to accept someone who was involved with actively killing members of your team or the fact that Cipher being involved with the previous movies is as muddled as Spectre's plot? I am happy that they are pointing out that this movie is basically a Vin Diesel ego jackoff. Question: How long did Vin have a tracking device in that giant fucking crucifix? And did he never tell his team about it? So how come they couldn't have just search for that damn thing and find the plane from the beginning?

That poor bastard was pigeon holed since birth.

Yeah this one was odd in character priorities alone. You have the armorer who wants to put her family seal on everything, which ends up being the Nike swoosh, the villain who is in the middle of a war but only cares about getting updates on who has won the jousting tournaments, and the fact that this is somehow the premise for the Canterbury Tales. The rock soundtrack also doesn't help and the fact that this movie is just as well known for a fake person being created to give it positive reviews which led to a class action settlement for people who saw this, Hollow Man, The Animal, The Patriot, or Vertical Limit. As for the dad being a net mended, I think that having been doing that your whole life, it has to be second nature for the man despite being blind.

I can't wait to see this as I loved the first movie, but I have to wonder how they are going to explain how Colin Firth is still alive.

Here's the poster for the film.

Since I've been sick with food poisoning this week I've been able to watch Gladiators and boy I forgot how much this show RULED. Granted, the amount of neon running suits and teased out hair is out of control, but it's made up for with the personalities of the gladiators. Also I found it odd that they introduce all of the gladiators who are these jacked bodybuilders and then they finally introduce Sunny as the girl next door, who literally looks like they pulled a person from the audience. Also Malibu's mullet is truly glorious.

While it's a foregone conclusion that this will be covered on the show, I felt it would be better suited to be in this section of the forum until then so as to not have multiple conversations about it split up over other threads. I will say that I enjoyed the film, but in my opinion it was a so-so affair compared to the three previous films. I was surprised that by my friend and my count, there were only 15 uses of family during the course of this movie. I was also kind of hoping that during the soccer game scene with the Rock that after the big dance/chant number that he led his team in that it would have been revealed that they sucked at soccer because they spent all of their time practicing that routine.

I think a few of them were cast in that clusterfuck.

Saw a trailer for this before Green Room (by the way see that, it is AMAZING), where Paul Dano is stranded on a deserted island and comes across the corpse of Daniel Radcliffe. He then proceeds to use the body for various survival scenarios like drinking water that the corpse spits up, using bodily gasses to launch a self made grappling hook, and apparently from what I've read, using the corpse's rigormortis boner as a sundial/compass. I would love to hear Jason freak out from the germ/ick factor alone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDxxYeFgDLg

Well I know what I'm watching now that I finished my binge of Archer. Also the only thing I can think of that's tougher than being on that show was the video game based on it, holy hell that shit was impossible.
