He refuses to carry a gun because he knows that his own instincts are enough on an average day. He regularly carries guns during conflict.
It's a fundamental part of the character that is esteblished in the books. So much of it was thrown out of the window with the casting of Tom Cruise. I actually love Cruise as Reacher but I think a guy who looks the part is essential to the role now. The first Reacher film was pure class though.

Sixx if they do the character justice in the upcoming show then you'll love him. He's a big hard bastard that saves the day by killing all of the evil. All of it.
I imagined Karl Urban or Ray Stevenson playing him long before Tom Cruise took the part.

Watching some teen comedy called "The Package".

I did not expect to laugh so hard. The lead female in this was in Blockers and she's great. She's going places no matter what, you can't start off that well in broad comedy without being a very good actor.

Well, maybe the books explain this, the movies don't.

And as for the casting, I've heard Reacher is a huge blond guy in the books?

I love Cruise, love knowing that the shit that goes down it's not a stuntman doing it.

By the way, do I need to know all the Mission Impossible movies to enjoy Fallout? Heard so much good about it, but I don't even remember which was the last MI movie I saw.

Seanny One Ball 01-01-2019 08:58 PM

I have to applaud anybody who makes a movie about this subject and manages to get away with it. This would have ruined me when I was 14.

Dirty blonde hair, like Ben Foster.

Fuck it's a shame Ben Foster isn't 6'5"

Geraldine Viswanathan is cool. I hope she does well because she's the best thing in that ludicrous film.

She is. Her Instagram is a lot of fun.

...Of course

You are spectacularly feminine

Bumblebee-8/10

Far and fucking away the best written transformers movie since they went live action. Like, not even close. The characters are actually the driving force behind the story. There aren't endless, impossible to follow, over the top action sequences that beat your ear drums into submission.

And whenyou do get to the action, it's so satisfying and thrilling not only because it was choreographed and shot well, but because they actually didn't blow their load throughout the movie. The opening scene is a rousing one.

So glad I gave this a go and I hope it works as a soft reboot of this franchise with more movies written in this manner.

slik 01-02-2019 03:05 AM

I agree with you on all of that.

Seanny One Ball 01-02-2019 03:15 AM

It isn't hard to imagine a decent Transformers film.

Just take Michael Bay away and replace him with a person who has directed a beautiful kid's film already.
Michael Bay is a douche for what he did to Transformers. I still maintain that the very first one was enough to expect a lot more from the sequels though.

Frank Drebin 01-02-2019 05:41 AM

Yeah, first one was actually ok. Then they turned into the mindless slogs we know them for. I have no idea how those movies made the money they did other than either being released at perfect times where there was nothing else in theaters to see or that the dumbest of our species have multiplied faster than anyone has realized.

Frank Drebin 01-02-2019 05:42 AM

Or the Chinese government made everyone in the country see it.

Damian Rey 2.0 01-02-2019 01:49 PM

The first one is solid but it's peak Bay. Competent at best and is more driven by the novelty of being the first live action Transformers movie. I remember watching the first Optimus Prime transformer sequence with my jaw on the floor. Also, Hugo Weaving as Megatron was fantastic casting and he had great lines, and a good final boss build up.

But that doesn't compare with this one. Not in the slightest. Ideally this is a new direction and we get more this writer/director team. The opening sequence starting on Cybertron and then to Earth was a blast.

ClockShot 01-02-2019 02:41 PM

Vice - 5/5

Adam McKay with another home run. Christian Bale freaked me the fuck out.

Damian Rey 2.0 01-02-2019 05:27 PM

One last remark on Bumblebee; there's a character moment where Hailee Steinfeld's character is called on/encouraged to do something that would essentially break her out of the dorky/nerdy/self imposed secluded shell she's built up at the start of the movie.

If Michael Bay was making this film, she absolutely would've done it in the middle of the film because it would've been a "cool scene bruh". But here, the director chooses to treat the character with hesitancy and an unwillingness to embrace the situation. And when she does embrace that moment that draws her back to a past she's running from, it actually means something. It's the little things that set this one apart.

If it were Michael Bay, she'd probably undress in slow motion and dive to like late '90s rock music with massive explosions in the background.

Also, it was a pretty good scene. Could relate to it.

Centurion 6.5/10

Naff script, but Michael Fassbender is always watchable.

Seanny One Ball 01-03-2019 09:06 PM

There should be a gay pornstar named Michael Fatbender

Droford 01-03-2019 11:51 PM

Escape Room - 7/10 if you like the Saw series but wished it was less violent this is your movie. However a couple of the rooms had clues so obvious I actually yelled out the answer to one 5 seconds after the clue was revealed but about 5 minutes before they figured it out. I Aint that smart.

You yelled out the answers in the theatre?

You're one of those? How did you not get the shit beaten out of you in an alley is beyond me.

Droford 01-04-2019 10:07 AM

SPOILER: show
We need a 7 letter word To open this lock

Clue - "you'll go down in history"

Me -"It's fucking Rudolph"

Supposed smart characters immediately think "Presidents!"

Backstory about dumb stoner character singing the Rudolph song and then him staring at 8 sets of antlers with letters for each reindeer like it's the most complicated thing ever to figure out

What are you talking about, SixxT9? That's a sound strategy to get laid.

I don't give a shit how easy they were. You could've solved them all in 2 seconds, you're still an idiot. Because YOU ARE YELLING AT A FUCKING SCREEN IN A CINEMA.

Fignuts 01-05-2019 03:38 AM

Maybe he was in a theater with lots of black people so no one noticed.

Fignuts 01-05-2019 03:39 AM

Get it you guys? Because black people talk and yell a lot at the theater.

Fignuts 01-05-2019 03:40 AM

Guys?

Fignuts 01-05-2019 03:41 AM

I think it would be funny if a nice black family went out to the theater and there were a bunch of slack jawed yokels just hee hawing throughout the film.

Fignuts 01-05-2019 03:41 AM

ha ha ha

Fignuts 01-05-2019 03:43 AM

My last few post aren't as funny since a new page split them. Please view TPWW at 80 posts per page for maximum fignuts efficiency.

Sixx 01-05-2019 06:51 AM

I thought black people just shoot their guns at the screen.

To paraphrase Chris Rock: "This movie is awesome, let's bust a cap in it!"

You’re confusing black people with cowboys.

Seanny One Ball 01-05-2019 12:59 PM

I've never experienced that.

I shouted out "That's Dr Quinn!" During Wedding Crashers in a Canadian cinema and got a decent reaction. She did have her tits out though.

Yes. Yes I did.

Seanny One Ball 01-05-2019 04:39 PM

From the screencap I saw you only get a good look at one and it's a bit abject and out of sorts. Looks like what a blind person's impression of a boob would be based on feel alone.
