Currently watching a Korean flick called “The Chaser”. Great movie, quite disturbing.

I think there are a lot of John Wick fans here… I basically think they're the best drinking flicks ever made... And hangover pics... Or just lazy midday films...
Or for people that love dogs…
Or guns...
Or really anything...
The Continental is the one truth and John Wick is our savior

Yup. We love John Wick in our house. I won’t be able to see it on opening day though. My wife is in NYC for work and I’ll be in Indiana.
There aren't any movie theaters in Indiana?

I don’t get the love for the John Wick films. They are ok at best. I think it’s because I struggle to really see Keanu as a badass.

She won’t let me see it without her
Fair enough. My wife has zero interest, which is good, since we can never go anywhere by ourselves. I can't remember the last non G rated movie we saw together in a theater.

This looks awesome

And yet, he is pretty legitimately a badass if I'm not mistaken, at least with a gun.

John Wick 3 - Yep, it does what it says on the tin.
With some outrageous action-scenes and bodycount probably in the 100+ territory, this movie leaves fans of the genre (and this particular series) wanting very little… And the ending strongly suggests there’s more to come. The story wasn’t the strongest and I would’ve liked to see more of Halle’s character, but it’s an easy thumbs up from me. -
Speaking of Keanu, I recently watched 47 Ronin and boy was that terrible. The addition of mythological creatures certainly didn't help it but I also didn't understand why Keanu's portrayal of a 'half breed' was even necessary. The only upside is that at least the main cast were Japanese actors.

I could be wrong, but on its surface things like 47 Ronin and The Last Samurai with Westerners playing heroic roles in the middle of sacred Japanese cultural context just seem like the worst kind of cultural appropriation to me. And I can only assume 47 Ronin is at least as noxious as that turd The Last Samurai. I can't even remember how I wound up watching that one in the first place, as the very concept seemed awful when I saw the trailer.

That was my thought as well. On top of that, I can’t believe the Japanese actors even agreed to star in a movie that embellished Japanese history.

Because round eyes are better. Blue round eyes are the best.
