[quote=Iroquois][quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]The other part is the "no guns, going old school" trope. Like really, we going Ewoks now. This will be fun :suspicious:

I'm still excited for it, I just think the trailer would have been better served leaving out beach fight.[/font][/quote]

I'm more surprised by the fact that they're embracing a whole new level of silliness with Idris Elba as a genetically-modified super-soldier.[/quote]

[quote=Iroquois]Well, it is meant to be a spin-off featuring the [i]F&F[/i] series' two main brawlers so it would make sense to focus more on the different types of fighting they could do (and the first part of that trailer is a relatively generic hallway fight).

Also lmao at comparing the haka to line-dancing, that's the kind of thing that could get your ass kicked.[/quote]

[quote=Iroquois][quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]I think [i]Hobbs and Shaw[/i] is gonna come to a grinding halt when they hit that 3rd act :sick:

[i]"Here's an idea. Let's take a pseudo MI/Bond movie about cars and technology and throw in a beach front fight scene that looks like a bunch of people line-dancing."[/i]

A complete 180 good/bad from the 1st trailer to the 2nd.[/font][/quote]

Pretty sure it ground to a halt once it brought on the director of [i]Atomic Blonde[/i] and [i]Deadpool 2[/i].

Besides, people loved it when a Bond movie decided to have its 3rd act take place in a run-down mansion instead of in some exotic underground lair so, y'know, not without precedence to change things up like this.[/quote]

[quote=Iroquois][quote=Violetlvr][quote=mattiasflgrtll6][quote=Violetlvr]Is it bad to say American Gangster is my favourite Ridley Scott film instead of Alien[/quote]

No, the bad thing to say would be that Alien: Covenant is better than Alien.[/quote]
Alien Covenant is a disgrace[/quote]

It was one of my favourite films of 2017.[/quote]

[quote=Iroquois]Yes way.[/quote]

[quote=Iroquois][quote=mattiasflgrtll6][quote=Violetlvr]Is it bad to say American Gangster is my favourite Ridley Scott film instead of Alien[/quote]

No, the bad thing to say would be that Alien: Covenant is better than Alien.[/quote]

And yet it's still better than [i]American Gangster[/i].[/quote]

[quote=Iroquois][quote=doubledenim][quote=Iroquois]People still watch stuff in IMAX?[/quote]

[font=century gothic]I have a lot of respect for your writing and and analyzation skills.

...but you way-cray :rotfl:[/font][/quote]

Whatever, in my experience it doesn't make a significant difference (if any). Probably doesn't help that the most recent times I ended up in an IMAX theatre were ones where I was down the front, though.[/quote]

[quote=Iroquois]People still watch stuff in IMAX?[/quote]

[quote=Iroquois][quote=NedStark09]Yesterday was May 4th which was Star Wars Holiday. Happy Late May The 4th be with you. But wonder how long time be until a Harry Potter Day or a Lord Of The Rings Day[/quote]

However long it takes to come up with an appropriate date to mark it, like how 4/26 is called [i]Alien[/i] Day in reference to the planet where the Xenomorph eggs are discovered is referred to as "LV-426" in [i]Aliens[/i].[/quote]

[quote=Iroquois][quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]I didn't know if he was a national treasure or something. Kinda like Gad, cuz he's huge in France...apparently.[/font][/quote]

I distinctly remember [i]Summer Heights High[/i] being a genuine nationwide phenomenon when I was in high school (I really did not care for it myself) but I couldn't speak to any of his more recent shows having that same level of success (but then again, I am really out of step with what's popular with the locals). Getting validation from overseas certainly gave him a much longer shelf life even though people have been giving him sh*t over his racial caricatures for years but then again this country's already pretty racist so...[/quote]
