Speaking of racing movies. Has anyone else seen the comparison of The Fast and The Furious with Point Break?
An undercover law enforcement officer infiltrates a tight-knit, adrenaline-junkie subculture. He befriends the charismatic leader of the group. He falls for a girl with a close relationship to the leader. The authorities close in during a final high-stakes heist, and at the end, the cop lets the criminal leader go and gives him the means to escape.
Its the same movie, just surfboards or cars.

@WhiskeySandwich haha - that's gold! I love that.
Point Break did it better though
Be interesting if they re-made Point Break with John Wick instead of Johnny Utah. I bet Wick could surf like a ninja.
-
@Bridger I love both movies. Point Break is objectively better, agree, but I def have a soft spot for F&F.
-
@WhiskeySandwich I enjoy the Furious films too.
I am probably due a re-run of them all in sequence.
-
@Bridger I have a hard time with them after Tokyo Drift. But it would be good to revisit the series. I dont think i even finished it after Paul Walker passed away, RIP
-
@WhiskeySandwich I have a soft spot for Tokyo Drift. I was in Tokyo in March and our taxi got stopped in P1 on the Shibuya crossing, which was awesome and made me think of Tokyo Drift and Lost in Translation (and the opening scene
)RIP Paul Walker indeed.

Man that bums me out — first Dolly, now him. Since these things tend to come in threes (lore? surely), I have the morbid wonder of who's next.
I grew up with Tim Curry, whether it be Clue, which I rewatched when I was older only to realize how absolutely raunchy and horny a movie it is, Legend, horrifying for kids and I can't believe our parents let us watch it, the wonderfully horribly made The Worst Witch, and of course Rocky Horror, which we'd go see at midnight screenings as totally baked teens. And of course plenty of others.
RIP, good sir

@popvulture Frank Beard died a couple last week, so that's three

Ah, right. Leaving only un hombre

@endo first dolly and now TC, I told my wife when I found out and she did the whole drop to her knees “I love you” from home alone 2.
We love that movie, sad he’s gone -
How I like to imagine Tim Curry entering “heaven”
-
@flannel-slut I was in a movie called Times Square,with Tim Currie,very nice,approachable guy. This is the only scene I was actually in with him. I’m the drummer.
