@deanduncan63This is a report from Idaho, where I am visiting, and evidently feeling confused & disoriented. This must be why I just saw #FF6 …
… I must also have been tempted by all the Howard Hawks comparisons I kept hearing. Feel that Howard Hawks comparisons are greatly exaggerated …
… Groups, yes, but where is HH’s calm & clarity & profundity? Was grateful, though, for the grandfolks sitting behind me whose running commentary …
… cleared up all the parts I was confused by. So what did I think? Selah: …
#FF6. This film clearly isn’t made for me, but I can see how it might appeal to its actual constituents. But still, I wondered …
… who fed this movie all those amphetamines?
… why does that one young woman have that one sour expression on her face for the entire whole time?
… why does the dialogue sound like it’s made up of the dumbest punch lines from the worst James Bond movies?
… I don’t know about you, but I thought I noticed a good deal of unmotivated camera movement.
… was grateful at one point to see a shot of the Parliament buildings. This helped me to understand that we were in London. Or Ottawa.
… why do male-to-male interactions feel like an LDS church basketball game, in which the contemptible old fat guys are on the brink of throwing punches?
… why is the emotional tone like unto when young men hug each other, but do it assaultively, so as not to demonstrate any actual tenderness?
… somehow the family/baby parts don’t quite seem earned or authentic. Didn’t they learn anything from The Pacifier?
… why does that one large bad guy keep making the Jaws noise from The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker?
… was Vin Diesel that large Nazi that got dispatched by the helicopter blades in Raiders of the Lost Arc?
… Hey! One of the female fast & furious people seems to have gotten killed.
… hate to be a fuddy-duddy, but #FF6 bears more than just a passing resemblance to this dangerous, calamitous document/idea …
… (think that Spanish highway …) : http://bit.ly/1gR8qGS
Two days have passed. I continue to be haunted by #FF6 …
… Noticed that Duane The Rock Johnson has a great big tattoo on his arm. This does not seem appropriate for a Canadian person.
… As I reflect back, I’m not sure that that mid-air human collision part on the Spanish highway would ever actually work.
… Who is that one guy, in the car?
… The forehead jokes were kind of funny.
… Hey! They killed that one girl from Haywire. This made me angry, for I like her.
… That is one extraordinarily long runway!
