if you liked Shoot 'Em Up, you might like it.

This feels like a trap to get me to say I liked Shoot 'Em Up.

I liked Shoot 'Em Up

It's favorably remembered overall, right? I never saw it. But I feel like a lot of people really like it.

I just remember a conversation about the movie I had once and the overall consensus was that no one liked the movie and you're a bad person if you did. Fuck, it was brilliant. I mean, at one point Monica Belluci - who is a lactating prostitute - has to breast feed the baby Clive Owen is protecting. And he eats carrots as shooting power-ups. It's so balls to the wall insane.

And if you have a good sound system...God damn does it pump. Music, sound effects, everything is loud in this movie.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[bune]

Very cool.

I mean, duh. How are you gonna make a movie about Mr. Glass without Sam Jackson?

I agree this should have been obvious to me because of the title.

Nothing is obvious in today's Hollywood, friend.

To be fair, the 2004 Hayden Christiansen vehicle Shattered Glass was not a direct sequel to Unbreakable.

To be fair, the 2004 Hayden Christiansen vehicle Shattered Glass was not a direct sequel to Unbreakable also did not star Sam Jackson so...

Right?! To just assume that this Glass film would feature Jackson seems highly presumptuous given Hollywood's track record...

Well, I'm nothing if not highly presumptuous!
