I have to say the first films in both the F&F and Bond franchises remain my respective favorites. But that's not to say there aren't plenty of other great entries.

I’ve never seen even one of the fast and furious movies.

I associate them with a very particular kind of guy.
I’ve absolutely no need to change that either.

Nothing brings out vaguely racist class elitism like the F&F movies - a truly populist, multiculti franchise

I think the terms you guys use over there is muscle heads/ dude bros/ jocks

We have even worse. But you’re right. Lowest common denominator shitbags with nothing but gales blowing between the ears.

And yet it’s one of the biggest franchises of our time.
It would make you worry.

This movie has now passed Rogue One in the worldwide box office. Still $25 million behind domestically.

It’s in 14th place in the all time list (not adjusted for inflation), and 35th worldwide, and have still got time left in the cinemas. Will advance a few more places.

Certainly not a box office failure, although I’m sure they wanted it to beat TLJ.

No. Not at all.

There’s a certain type of movie that attracts a certain type of fuckin moron and these movies are those movies.

Assholes who come out of the theater proper hard lads (in their imagination) and who are just awful people. The kinda guys start a fight with you for no fuckin reason at all. Think they’re Jason stathams and invincible

Not everyone who sees the film obviously. I’m not saying that. Just that those films attract those guys

Didn’t realize but R2 is there for the birth of Leia. But then he’s also there when leia dies too. And threepios last line in ROS is his first line (the very first line) in a new hope


This film has so much going on
If that’s fan service it’s the best kind. I want more of it.
I love it.
