Fast 8 - Part 1

[terry78]

Basically a Deckard and Hobbs movie is pretty much a video game. Two overpowered characters mowing down a bunch of thugs until they hit the disc one final boss.

Friggin' A, man. Let's get it.

 

[Loki882]

I'm 100% behind this idea (and 110% if Helen Mirren also appears).

I dont see why they couldnt have had it both ways. Like have them reluctantly team up with Shaw, you could still have some fun banter but then at the end of the movie you get one of those "Superman/Luthor" handshakes where one acknowledges the other's help but at the end of the day they are still enemies. You couldve had a LINE of dialogue from Dom saying "I appreciate what you did but this doesnt change things between us." And Shaw would nod in agreement. I guess that was just too hard to do smh

 

[samsnee]

Agreed. That's how I would have gone too. The fact he was sitting st the family dinner was too much.

 

[terry78]

Basically they want him to continue to be on their team for future installments and kind of justify it by saying Cipher is the real enemy.

 

[Spiderine]

Im down for this. Sounds like Rock and Statham will be Tango and Cash.

First spin-off in the works.

Had a blast watching this. Genuinely surprised how they were able to weave that "family" theme into practically everything.
They may not be short on spectacle, but I don't know where else they could go with that emotional core.

In one of the less memorable scenes from The Fate of the Furious, Charlize Theron and Vin Diesel share a not-so-steamy kiss. But while the smooch is very obviously forced upon Diesel’s character, Dominic Toretto, that hasn’t stopped the actor from calling the lip-lock “the biggest moment in trailer history.”

In a recent interview with USA Today, Diesel said the kiss was a winner: “I was definitely not complaining. Charlize Theron is not a bad kissing partner to have. Do I know she enjoyed it? Oh, my God, yeah. A kiss cannot lie, lips don’t lie. No, they didn’t. She OWNED it.”

But in an appearance on Ellen this week, Theron laughed at the suggestion, calling Diesel “insane.”

“I just don’t get it,” Theron said. “I mean, you can see it. My hand is forcing his face, which is what the movie’s about. He’s in love with Letty, Michelle Rodriguez’s character. I’m the crazy chick that’s doing this horrible thing to him and, as he should’ve, his character is just standing there frozen, like a dead fish.”

She continued, “He’s literally going around saying that I had the best time of my life. … I like a little more movement in my men. It looks like a forceful kiss. It looks like I’m assaulting his face with my mouth.”

I'm surprised we haven't gotten a Fast and Furious cartoon series done ala the old Mr T or Rambo cartoons.

The era of Saturday morning cartoons is dead. If this was the '90s it probably would have happened.

Saddest words I've ever heard. As a kid, of the 80's we had some awesome cartoons. Today my son has about zero options to watch. A little nostalgia = "After these messages, will be riiiiiiiiiiight back"

I miss them too. I understand that now there are a couple of channels that are devoted to cartoons, but it just isn't the same.

 

[Greens]

I doubt kids today give a **** about our nostalgia.

I bet C. Lee has even older stories of watching Wally Gator. Them good ole times when a hamster on a treadmill powered our television set.

 

[terry78]

And playing that newfangled swing music on the old Victrola.

 

[samsnee]

Seriously can you imagine a Fast and Furious cartoon done like this?

 

[Greens]

If movies got animated adaptations like that today people would just whine about the studios being unoriginal and trying to milk us.

They're rebooting/reviving cartoons that don't have multiple iterations to push a toy brand...so pretty past the point of studios being unoriginal and whatnot.

It's the creepy "oh my God you're so hot, isn't she hot? she's so f******g hot" interview all over again.

Just saw this in IMAX. Gotta say I had the best time watching it. Made me wanna cheer a few times. I definitely liked it more than 7 I think. The drone finale of the last one was a bit of a let down.
