I had no intention of ever watching it but wanted to watch something last night and saw it was a new movie on netflix and said "what the hell if its bad I'll shut it off" .To my surprise it was good and I watched the whole thing instead of sleeping like I should have been

Why didn't you think it would be good?

Dont remember . I just remember seeing the trailer and saying "pass." Guess you cant always go by the trailer

I like heist movies. I like the Oceans 11 series. And Fast Five definitely looks like an improvement... I will probably watch it when it comes on FX or TBS in a year or so.

I really liked Ocean's 11.

Ocean's 12 was one of my least favorite movies of all time.

13 was OK.

I actually didn't think the trailer for Fast Five looked that good. The movie's better than the trailer, in my opinion.

It's interesting that you say the first one was "completely unrealistic." I was talking to a friend of mine earlier who has already seen Fast Five and we were talking about how the plot of the first one could conceivably occur in the real world, while Fast Five is just way over the top.

As for Tokyo Drift, not sure why you call it a "horrible" movie. I thought Justin Lin did a great job directing. There was a lot of good camera work, I thought Lucas Black was strangely compelling as the protagonist, the plot was comprehensible, the whole "drifting" angle was interesting, and it took place in Tokyo, which has to be one of the coolest cities on earth. Also, it had Sonny Chiba and that counts for a lot.

Bottom line though is that if I'm entertained and it's not in a "so bad it's good" kind of way then I think it's a good movie.

I don't know if it's just that you're not a car guy or what, but these movies are absolutely preposterous. When I say 'completely unrealistic', I'm mostly talking about the cars. The plots are really dumb as well, but literally everything about the cars and driving scenes is utter nonsense.

Well I really know nothing about cars. What's unrealistic, though? Enlighten me.

Like I said, I'm a car neophyte. But the cars go forward, they go in reverse, they go from side to side. Nitrous makes them go faster. So. . .

Watching the original Fast and the Furious right now.

You're too bitter, zY. You need to let yourself be a kid in a candy store. It's fun.

What? I love that movie, like I already said. I can probably quote the whole damn thing. It's one of the best comedies of the decade.

Just saw Thor. I thought it was kinda lame

One of the best comedies. . .

I see.

Something tells me you watch and secretly think to yourself, "Fuck yeah! I wish that could be me!"

You think I couldn't buy a slow car and put gawdy shit all over it and pretend it's fast?

You think I couldn't buy a slow car and put gawdy shit all over it and pretend it's fast?

First off, I don't have to know anything about cars to know that you can put enough money into an import to make it fast. I've seen Civics with 500 horsepower.

Second, movies are movies. Mere mortals can obtain the trappings of Hollywood films but the drama is usually unique to celluloid. No one has enough money to make their life perfectly edited with good lighting and just the right music.

Please stop it

[SPX]

zY, you're such a fag.

I think you're one of the most unsentimental motherfuckers I've ever talked to. Perhaps also of the most emotionless.

I actually wonder if you ever experience things like joy and empathy. I hope that you do. Life sucks, but it doesn't have to all be some exercise in cynicism and negativity.
