The John Wick series is the ultimate convention of “Oh, shit, THAT actor is in these movies???” films.

HI, I’M BUSTER KEATON, WELCOME TO JACKASS!!!

As someone who was disgustingly obsessed with the Final Destination franchise in late 2020, this is an approved installment.

Rewatching this is the most in tune I have felt with twelve/thirteen year old me in ages.  The sounds of the songs awakened young me, it made me actually emotional.

It gave me a vision: now, imagine if Josh Hartnett played Ladybug in Bullet Train… I’M COOKING WITH A GAS STOVE.

Y’know, I think I get what they mean, but they definitely were muddled in the way that they handled it.  Not totally on the money here.  Ultimately, I enjoyed, though.

Live by the Cassel.  Die by the Cassel.

Stephen Graham for a LONG time has been an actor where, no matter what the project is, I will watch it if he’s in it.  And wow, he’s really proven himself to be one of the most talented people working in the film industry today.  You know what?  He is the most talented.  The number one.  I LOVE YOU.

Upon further rewatch, this is genuinely the funniest movie of all time.  How do you come up with this stuff?

I can’t watch things like this, I wanted to rage out for her during the middle part of it.  😭😭😭.

Avengers Endgame for dudes from the United Kingdom.

We should have had Val Kilmer playing gay in EVERY movie.

Are we too sad for me to still make the “should have included Common People by Pulp” joke I had planned?

Val Kilmer was doing shit in this movie that nobody had ever thought to do before.  Changing the absolute game.  I just knew while watching this that they nominated him for a Razzie.  Maybe you guys just didn’t fucking get it.

Take a shot every time they say “baby” in this movie.  No, I’m serious.  Next time you watch this, notice how many times they use that word.  Every couple calls each other baby.  They talk about babies.  They toss that word around hard.

This felt like an intersection between Cronenberg’s usual two types of work— the more grounded but still messed up stuff like Eastern Promises, versus his freaky things like Dead Ringers.  And I fucking ate it up, obviously.

I know how those Witcher recruits feel… I hate to see a wraith coming in Witcher 3.

Unc still got it 💀.

If Murphy is the Saint, TAKE ME TO CHURCH!

Felt a little disengaged with this at times but perhaps that is because I am not feeling well.  Baby Sean Astin, though…?  I would kill a man for you…

Hating this movie just means you hate grandeur and joy and whimsy.  #WickedHive.

Fuck this movie.  Fili was barely in it.  Bring Fili home.

I have the best feeling ever every time I finish a Cronenberg movie.  It gives me a euphoria like nothing else does.  I feel like I’ve just done a line of coke.

Meant to watch this on Saturday, which was David Cronenberg’s birthday, but I got busy.  So I will say now: Happy belated birthday to my favourite director of all time.  His work changed my life, he’s the greatest to ever do it, truly the most brilliant man on earth.  He understands me like no other.  It’s stupid how much he means to me.  WE LOVE DAVID CRONENBERG!!!!

Would have given it 5 stars if the whole movie were Tom Cruise chewing on that piece of gum.

Was holding in so many giggles during middle act of this, it was so odd.  Robert Pattinson as Mickey 18 is a performance for the ages.  And Mark Ruffalo and Toni Collette were so fucking good?/!/?/!/!

They were running a fucking gas stove when they made this film.  What a picture.

I mean, I did think that I would like this, but this was good as fuck.  Damn!!!  I love anything about gangs/clubs like this.  I’ll eat it up every time.

Neo and Trinity being the greatest film couple of all time.  Almost the entire ing cast was a Sense8 actor.  WHAT A PICTURE.

In complete and utter awe of the way this movie is made.  I was so sucked in by the manner in which it told its story.  Very good.

Sometimes, all you need is a good hopecore movie to make you realize the beauty around you.

Okay, so.  They kind of need to make the second part to this NOW.

I wish there were, but there are no words.  Holy fuck, man.

Got up to do a backflip when they went back to Scoot McNairy at the end.  When the day is finished, that is what I really care about.

The middle of this movie was beautiful.  The yelling, the shouting, the headaches, that was beautifully executed.  The pure stress and anger from all parties.  irable.

My sister and I would do this if we got in a car accident and Oasis didn’t exist.

I BELIEVE.  I FUCKING BELIEVE TOO.  I’M IN THIS MATRIX SHIT FOR LIFE.

Baby Peter Capaldi playing the polar opposite of Malcolm Tucker.

They should have stopped making movies after this.  No film will ever be this good again.

The basis of this, like just the simple plot, could maybe make for an actually interesting film.  But literally, LITERALLY, everything else about it would need to be different.  Why… is it like that?  Why did they do this?

So-called “free thinkers” when it’s time to turn into Agent Smith: 🕶️🕶️👥👥

Such a horrible situation.  A miracle that the family was given some kind of closure, but to this day, no prosecutions for what happened… my god.  Very well made film, very emotional.

One of those mystical occurrences where you are watching a mediocre film and then all of a sudden there is a really good scene in the middle.

The type of movie to make me wish I was an English dude.

It felt so fucking right every time they used more gunshots than necessary for good measure.

I had a moment when there was maybe about 25 minutes left where I thought, “Wow, I CANNOT believe they nominated this for best picture.” and then… that feeling just got more, AND more, AND MORE.

They would have loved UberEats…

If I were the other acting nominees at the Oscars, I would be fucking SCARED.

It’s never been better than this.  It will never get better than this.  They will be Sense9 when I get there.

Weird to see them try to flashback to the Red Dead Two years, during a time when, like, probably more than half of the characters in that game weren’t even conceptualized. Why gang so empty? Why Dutch old? Where Arthur?

They should have made a film all about Dracula from this.  The first fifteen minutes and every other scene with him were the best parts.  No notes on that performance.
