Love seeing all of the actions scene that are in wide shots and clearly showing their full bodies. This is not just a movie featuring  kung fu, but a movie clearly influenced by kung fu cinema. Excellent direction to take this in.

I first saw this on twitter and the ideal way to experience this clip is to go into it completely cold. What a wild video.

Apparently director Justin Lin will stay for Fast 10 and Fast 11, which will shoot back to back and close out the franchise.

I didn’t realize they announced a Fast 11, but right on. This series works best when Lin is directing. 7 and 8 were fun but they didn’t quite have that same magic as 5 and 6.

I’m getting real Baby Driver vibes from this. Why can’t more action scenes be choreographed to music?

I’m getting the first dose of Moderna after work today. Pretty stoked.

Adult Film Star Accuses T.J. Miller And Jordan Vogt-Roberts Of Harassment | HuffPost

Dana DeArmond tweets that the comedian and the “Kong: Skull Island” director mistreated her on the set of Comedy Central's “Mash Up.”

I was really looking forward to this big, dumb movie last year, and its year long delay is when it officially hit me that the world was about to change. It’s been a long ride but the end is so close.

I got strangely emotional watching this realizing I will be fully vaxed by the time this comes out. This is the light at the end of the tunnel, and I am so seeing this at a sold-out screening on opening weekend.

I thought Jordan Vogt-Roberts was Me Too’d.

I'll pass on Sky Daddy's blessings, though.

Yo, why are you being a dick to someone for showing concern for another human?

I haven't seen the movie.

 

"The little kids probably haven't seen the movie" is still presumably the point. That or the actual intended market for this is people old enough to have nostalgia for the 1996 movie.

So this is an interesting debate: Is it okay to place imagery connected with violence and rape against women in a kid's movie as long as they don't understand the meaning behind it? And if that's okay, where do we draw the line? Kids don't know who Charles Manson is. Why not put him in the movie? It would be a fun little reference for the parents.

Also, I think it's important to make the distinction that these are barely even references, these are more like cameo appearances. This isn't a parody or an allusion to those characters, these are, as far as I can tell, the actual characters themselves showing up to cheer on Lebron and the Tunes. Looney Tunes does have a history of containing references that only adults could pick up on, but the difference is that those references were transformative, either a joke acknowledging the existence of that thing or a cartoony version of that thing. The first Space Jam had a Pulp Fiction joke. What it didn't feature, however, was a live action version of the gimp from that movie showing up to interact with Jordan and Bugs.

Probably meant to throw the parents watching it with their kids a bone with fun little cameos in a way that will safely sail above the heads of their kids.

A gang of rapists in a kid's movie is a fun little reference.

The only real reason I was halfway interested in this is I was hoping for another Roger Rabbit-type hand drawn/live-action hybrid. Instead, Lebron is a full cartoon in Tune World and the Looney Tunes are CGI when play in the final game with live action Lebron. Boooo

Like the first movie, this looks like a barely disguised full length commercial. I wonder what attracted Ryan Coogler to produce that this.

This is basically HBO Max: The Movie.

Why are the Droogs from A Clockwork Orange in this? Or Barry Lyndon? Or the war boys from Fury Road? This is a kids movie, right?

Ah, gotcha. I could tell you were joking but to be fair to me the target of the joke wasn’t clear.

Shit I finsihed it the morning it came out 

Good for you, I guess? Weird flex but okay lol

It probably took me over a week to watch the whole thing, tbh

I mean I’m not a libertarian but I’m not really sure how it’s helpful to use pedophile as a catch all term for anyone who is attracted to someone under the legal age limit. Obviously this is weird time to point out that Gaetz is technically an ephebophile and that’s not what I’m arguing here. But pedophilia is a specific mental disorder and a better understanding of how it works is how we can combat it. I’m just not sure how continuing to allow a public and mass misunderstanding of the disorder is an effective way to go about protecting our children.

Double post ooooops

I watched the first 30 minutes this morning with an open mind and it’s certainly well shot. I can see why people are preferring it over the theatrical. It does feel like one’s individual vision rather than the Frankenstein of a movie we got in theaters. There is certainly good stuff here, even if some of it falls apart if I think too much. Some of it is unintentionally funny because it’s Zach going full Snyder, but at least I’m entertained watching it during those parts.

But this absolutely has no rhythm. It’s a collection of scenes, and those individual scenes themselves go on too long. There is no sense of propulsion, scenes don’t build upon each. I’ll try to watch more over the next few days because apparently it picks up in the second half, but i absolutely cannot imagine watching this is one setting. This is something that only can work as a home viewing experience IMO.

I won’t see it, but hey, do whatever it takes to get audiences back into theaters I guess.

People are literally ITT saying "boo hoo they knew this is what the business is like".

I don’t feel like getting too much into this because it dredges up old trauma, but in the future you really should avoid this example as your go-to for victim blaming. It’s applied inappropriately here.

Not only is this not even remotely the same thing, it’s an offensive comparison for survivors of assault.

Still sounds like victim blaming tbh.

These “victims” are still very much complicit.
