Ok this is one of the strangest threads i've ever seen ... You on the internet looking for a BRO date. LMAO
This thread prompted me to watch the first one last night. Pretty decent.
I hate seeing animals hurt in moves though. Fuck people, animals pull at my heartstrings. :'(Entertaining exchanges that set up the John Wick character in the first film:
____________________
Viggo Tarasov: I heard you struck my son.
Aurelio: Yes, sir, I did.
Viggo Tarasov: And may I ask why?
Aurelio: Yeah, well, because he stole John Wick's car, sir, and, uh, killed his dog.
Viggo Tarasov: [pause] Oh.
____________________
Viggo Tarasov: It's not what you did, son, that angers me so. It's who you did it to.
Iosef Tarasov: Who? That fucking nobody?
Viggo Tarasov: That "fuckin' nobody"... is John Wick. He once was an associate of ours. They call him "Baba Yaga."
Iosef Tarasov: The Boogeyman?
Viggo Tarasov: Well John wasn't exactly the Boogeyman. He was the one you sent to kill the fucking Boogeyman.
Iosef Tarasov: [stunned] Oh.
Viggo Tarasov: John is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will... something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three men in a bar... with a pencil, with a fucking pencil. Then suddenly one day he asked to leave. It's over a woman, of course. So I made a deal with him. I gave him an impossible task. A job no one could have pulled off. The bodies he buried that day laid the foundation of what we are now. And then my son, a few days after his wife died, you steal his car and kill his fucking dog.
Iosef Tarasov: Father, I can make this right.
Viggo Tarasov: Oh? How do you plan that?
Iosef Tarasov: By finishing what I started.
Viggo Tarasov: [irritated, turning to Avi] What the... did he hear a fuckin' word I said?
Iosef Tarasov: [in Russian] Dad, I can do this! Please!
Viggo Tarasov: [pulls Iosef close, talks into his ear] Iosef, Iosef! Listen! Huh? John will come for you, and you will do nothing because you can do nothing, so get the fuck out of my sight!
BTW - Alfie Allen's characters can never catch a break. He played Iosef in "John "Wick" and the tortured Theon Greyjoy in "Game of Thrones."
That was the most brutal scene. I watched the movie with my son and he was most upset by the innocent puppy getting killed. That said, it is a wonderful mechanism to illustrate the evil depravity of the humans that "have to die later."I hate seeing animals hurt in moves though. Fuck people, animals pull at my heartstrings. :'(
Forget about this stuff. How was the Bro date?No real spoilers but some details:
Well I saw Chapter 2 and it's no surprise that there was a nice set up for Chapter 3. Given the massive crew and budget for this one, they must be making a mint from the franchise. Hong Kong money behind it and to be PC they had to make the black guy a "good" criminal, however the criminals that share my Sicilian ancestry were given no such privilege. Typical Hollywood double standard.
The cool thing is the story is new, not a recycled comic book or remake. And the director never directed before, he was a stuntman. He must have been a pretty smart stuntman and it shows in the action sequences... they're fantastical but also mostly believable (as movies go, the characters still have remarkable powers of recuperation). They had a huge crew of set dressers and stunt people, the computer graphics were subtle and while it was fast paced, they didn't do too many fast MTV video cuts where you loose your place. I have no idea how they did a gun movie in the locations they did, had to cause liberals conniptions.
They had five first aid people in the credits. I can imagine why!
I don't know martial arts to appreciate the fighting but it seemed legit to this amateur. This was the first real action movie to show modern 3-gun competition moves adapted to killing people. Watch for the MatchSaverz shotgun load... and he actually had to reload, although I was counting and some of the sequences didn't seem to add up but at least they acknowledged that you do have to reload and nobody called the magazines clips. And he actually carried shotgun shells on modern shell caddies. The gunfire sounded like 9mm, shotgun, and AR15, they actually got the correct ping. The silencers still were silent though, I wish they'd be more realistic there.
And he $hat on Kimber .45 1911s ;-p It's a GLOCK fan movie.
I just went out an shot my Glock 19 just to assure myself how bad it was compared to a good 1911, seeing all those plastic guns shook my faith.
Plot was OK, the first one actually had more character development. Just sit back and enjoy the ride, leave logic elsewhere.
Forget about this stuff. How was the Bro date?
Performance anxiety?I think all my potential dates were insecure
Too fast off the reset.Performance anxiety?
I bet it jammed.I just went out an shot my Glock 19 just to assure myself how bad it was compared to a good 1911, seeing all those plastic guns shook my faith.
