Apparently the app wizards at Facebook believe this to be true based on a couple year old photo of myself: Though to be fair the first time I uploaded the picture it wasn't zoomed in and included Jerry "the King" Lawler which meant I most looked like Adelle.

From the Wikia for the series, Han set himself up fairly easily and quickly due to keeping most of his fortune intact and not buying a bunch of extravagant shit, unlike Roman or the two Brazilian dude. He also assumingly had Giselle's fortune after her death so it was easy for him to set up an auto shop and then ingratiate himself into the drifting underground.

No Tokyo Drift is between 6 and 7 because Giselle talks about him going there as he had never been to Japan. He was doing odd jobs, some with Dom as in the start of 4 and all of 5 and 6, but after Giselle dies, he decides to make a life in Japan with what he's earned from the heists. I would say that the stuff involving Lucas Black's character being sent to Japan and starting his life there could be happening at the same time as maybe 6, but the timeline is so floaty it's tough to say.

Exactly what I was saying, that person ain't family as Dom perceives it.

Just saw this trailer before Free Fire (see it immediately, it's fantastic) and as soon as Francis McDormand started throwing out swear words and kicking kids in the dick, I was instantly hooked. Then when I saw it's from the director of In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths, I cannot wait for this to come out.

I had the exact same thing happen after seeing Swiss Army Man.

During 300 a few middle school age kids snuck into the packed theater I was in. At one point during that six-pack ab fest, the kids start chatting it up or yelling "gay!" when the guys hugged or patted each other on the back. After about five minutes of this all I see is a large cup of soda sailing through the air from the back of the theater in a perfect spiral, nailing one of the kids in the back of the head. In an utterly perfect second, the movie has a quiet moment and the person who threw the cup screams, "SHUT THE HELL UP!" Needless to say the kids ran out quickly after that as everyone was laughing at them.

That whole time I'm watching that I'm just telling my friend "he's not even aiming at the engine blocks, that dude is straight up murderizing people by vaporizing their windshields, and they literally have nowhere to run as they are all blocked in by the hundreds of other cars."

Law Abiding Citizen is one of those movies that made so much on the amazing performances of its lead actors, Gerard Butler in particular. The Rock's performance in Be Cool is by far the best part of that film, outside of Andre 3000's role, which are both overshadowed by the horribly marketing of "John Travolta and Uma Thurman dance together again." I just don't know where Gray fumbled with this but it just didn't gel right for me. There were plot issues that were utterly baffling like in the New York scene when the Prime Minister is attacked, his body guard fires a mini-gun from the top of his limo, why wasn't that used when Vin Diesel came charging at the limo a few minutes later, or why for that matter was the other guard in the limo only carrying one clip for his machine gun or why weren't the bullets armor piercing? You would think that for a head of state that the protection would be top notch. As for the comedic/acting chops of Rock and Statham, I can honestly say that I desperately want Statham to read kid audio books similar to Sam Jackson reading Go the Fuck to Sleep.

But that's what gets me is that he wasn't the only one involved with it, but the boiling down of everything to just Dom is kind of like saying Mayor Clotch saved New York from Gozer because he hired the Ghostbusters in the first place and we should when there were many other parties involved. The oversimplification of it is insulting to the whole team/family dynamic. Hell if I was Roman I would be pissed because it was his idea for how to take down the convoy in the first place.
-
For some reason this premise just seems interesting as hell to me. And if this doesn't seem like a Jacob's Ladder/Lovely Bones scenario I don't know what is. It's still amazing that Bryan Cranston has grown in range as an actor from what he used to be most well known as.
-
One other thing that really annoyed me was that when the group is together in the garage after Dom has turned on them and Ramsey says that maybe they need to realize that he went rogue and Letty gets on her ass and says that she's alive because Dom saved her. When I heard that I almost yelled bullshit because in the last movie it was Brian who actually saved Ramsey's life and Letty helped them as they got off the bus before it fell over the cliff. It's like they are retconning shit to make Dom seem like the only worthwhile member of this team. As for F. Gary, I was surprised that he didn't seem like a good fit for this film as his resume is chock full of fun action films (Italian Job, Law Abiding Citizen, A Man Apart) and films that have strong dialogue and/or character interaction (Friday/Straight Outta Compton, The Negotiator). I'm really hoping that he can do a better job with the Fast 9.

I actually read a decent theory on why there were Buds but no Coronas in the film. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/04/furious-8-vin-diesel-corona-the-fate-of-the-furious

EXACTLY, what good is mentioning family 4 dozen times in the last film if that all gets wiped away with a single BBQ? Though with how much of a diva Diesel has become, I would not be surprised that he pushes for the sequel to reveal
-
Who would take the dominant role in that kiss? Holy shit, that's what starts the rivalry again as neither will submit in their kiss leading to a massive fist fight.
-
In regards to the Shaw/Hobbs fight, I have to assume that the end credit scene that Vin Diesel had cut was going to be about that situation, though I'm sure there would have been a comedic tilt to it, maybe the Rock's soccer team against Shaw's. Also having seen their fantastic chemistry, I desperately hope that the Rock is in Expendables 4.
-
It seemed like Scott was doing a parody of his dad in the first scene, right down to the facial expressions, but once he loosened up he was pretty good. What I desperately hope for is that there is a deleted scene where a janitor comes into the car warehouse and sees the broken glass from when Eastwood used the crowbar to open the key locker and just screams "why didn't they use the fucking handle?!"
-
Yeah at this point the team is LITERALLY the formation of what Owen Shaw did with his team in Fast 6 where the members were just pieces that could be removed and replaced at will, which DOM made a big speech about that being bullshit and family being what was best. Now that so many people have joined the team that were once rivals of the the team, the idea of family being best is effectively dead. I would honestly love a Hobbs/Shaw brothers film because the chemistry between those actors was by far the best part of the film. I get why CGI is being used because I have to assume that using practical effects would be a logistical nightmare along with what I assume the actors throwing their weight around more so that they aren't having to do these dangerous stunts as much. My other huge problem with this franchise is how much the trailers reveal about the final film, like the trailer for Fast 7 literally showing the final scene of the movie. For this film they show

Haven't gotten around to watching this yet but found out about it in a great book called What's a Nice Actor Like You Doing In a Movie Like This and was instantly hooked by the fact that Jagger felt the need to act again after his previous stints had been met with mediocre reviews at best. What's more shocking is that this was Hopkins' first film after winning the Oscar for Silence of the Lambs and he is STILL third billed behind Estevez and Jagger.

Watching that whole thing play out I was thinking the whole time about why don't they just destroy the submarine once they've gotten the guidance chip? They apparently have a slew of weapons and gadgets, so are you telling me that they don't have C4 or grenades or I don't know an all-terrain tank with a high capacity turret on it that could do some proper damage to the hull? I myself loved the segment in New York with the zombied cars, which didn't look as bad as I thought it would with the CGI, although the thought that Dom's car can easily dispatch 5 cars of varying weight and size was laughable even for this series. I thought Theron was okay but do feel that she should have been more hands on in either the fighting or killing of certain people. The whole Cuba opening made me remember why I hated the first four movies in this series and the XXX series. The whole car party douchebag meet up just reeks of someone writing about something that they think the understand when all it does it make everyone involved in the scene look like total assholes.

While I haven't seen Fast 8 yet, I can easily say I am tired of the uber-ego of Vin Diesel as he apparently got the end credit scene cut because he wasn't in it and didn't know that they shot it until the movie was about to come out. http://theplaylist.net/enraged-vin-diesel-reportedly-cut-post-credits-sequence-fate-furious-20170414/

After watching this and the wishes of them somehow being related, I really want the show to cover Kate & Leopold which is another time travel film that has/had a very blatant incest angle to it.

With how many oddball porn parodies there are available now, I'm surprised that this hasn't been done. I don't know, I mean have you seen Fateful Findings? An old coworker of mine thought she was going to be watching 28 Days with a bunch of friends, when they were actually going to watch 28 Days Later. 20 minutes into the movie, she asks them when Sandra Bullock is going to show up which cause uproarious laughter. As for Paul talking about oddball architects, Frank Lloyd Wright isn't even close to the craziest, that might belong to Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. His designs are basically just ways for him to flip of physics and his thoughts on various topics have been compiled in great books like his 1,300 page opus S,M,L,XL. The book goes into topics on how he feels architecture will evolve over the years along with his thoughts on Japanese pornography (he was rumored to have done a few pornos to help pay for college), the weather, and his various attempts at writing fiction. One of his most famous buildings was the CCTV HQ in China.
